Vermont Business Magazine Repeated storms in recent months have challenged the Vermont Electric Co-op, causing several back-to-back power outages across our territory. These strong and damaging wind and snow events – a phenomenon we expect to continue – have put a spotlight on power reliability and resiliency. How is VEC planning for the future?
Join us Thursday, March 28 from 12-1 pm for a conversation with experts about the changing weather and VEC’s strategic investments in reliability and resilience. What impacts are changing weather patterns having on the reliability of VEC’s electricity system? What investments is VEC making on behalf of our members to protect our system from the effects of these more frequent, intense storms? How will we pay for these investments?
Dr. Jason Shafer, Chief Science Officer and weather expert at Disaster Tech, and VEC’s Chief Operating Officer Peter Rossi will discuss this timely topic and take your questions. Joining them as moderator will be VEC's Chief Executive Officer Rebecca Towne.
