CVPS rate hike a backward step says VPIRG
Vermont Public Interest Research Group denounces Central Vermont Public Service Corp proposed rate design as a giant step backward in rate design. VPIRG engineer Dick Andrews says the plan shifts more burden to small energy savers while large users pay less in percentage terms. CVPS holds a temporary 12.5 percent hike and seeks a 31.2 percent permanent increase. Andrews notes the rise would affect residential customers most.
