What is happening
Right now we have a chance to make the path to clean energy clear and attainable in the Green Mountain State. State legislators are building momentum for House Bill 289 that will update Renewable Energy Standard requirements to encourage increased adoption of home solar and other renewable sources.
The state has set an ambitious goal to use 100% renewable energy by 2035. Residential solar is a key part of this plan and empowers Vermonters with the ability to self-generate and take control where their energy comes from. With every home that adopts solar, the less reliant our state will be on expensive, dirty energy sources from out-of-state.
Solar also supports a resilient and dependable electric grid. Home solar does more than help a homeowner access clean energy; it also adds resiliency and reliability to the grid in the face of extreme weather events and high electric demands. Passing H.289 will afford Vermonters more access to affordable and self-generated energy.
