TRORC is working with the Public Service Department and the Vermont Energy Investment Corporation (VEIC) to develop a plan based on Vermont’s energy goal of obtaining 90% of its energy across all sectors – transportation, space heating and cooling, and electricity – from renewable sources by 2050.
TRORC will be holding two initial meetings in different parts of our region to present background information on the project, discuss analysis of renewable energy potential in our region, and solicit public input on the siting of new renewable energy projects.

Renewable Energy 2015 (RE 2015) is Vermont’s annual convention bringing together key players in the renewables sector. This year’s conference, slated for October 8 & 9, highlights current energy challenges, Vermont’s leadership role in the energy industry, and the steps needed to implement an integrated energy infrastructure.
Nationwide and here in Vermont, the closure of coal and nuclear facilities, concerns around “fracked” gas, and instability in oil-rich regions are driving markets to implement renewable energy and efficiency-based solutions to address our increasing energy demands. RE 2015 is bringing together leaders and experts from throughout the region to address the challenges and opportunities ahead.
