Vermont Electric Co-op

VEC was established in 1938 by farmers in the town of Eden with the goal of bringing electricity to rural Vermonters who had been bypassed by investor-owned utilities.

As a consumer-owned cooperative, VEC is a democratic organization controlled by its members. Members elect local representatives to serve on VEC’s twelve member board of directors to represent geographically-based districts and zones. These directors actively participate in setting policies, making decisions, and are accountable to the membership.

VEC's Vision: We believe in meeting the needs of our members by practicing cooperative principles in a transparent manner. We are striving to be an energy leader by providing innovative energy services, delivering reasonable rates in a regulatory environment, and adapting to changes that will shape our energy future. VEC is committed to operating in a safe manner that is socially and environmentally responsible. We will achieve success through the continuous development of a highly skilled and engaged workforce.
