CVPS ties rate woes to Vermont Yankee plant dependence
A consultant for the Vermont Public Service Board linked Central Vermont Public Service Corp’s high rates to relying on the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power plant. Allan J. Schultz testified that the utility’s large single-unit commitment and short term contracts leave supply unstable until Vermont Yankee becomes operational, likely keeping power costs high in New England unless a regional emergency occurs. The licensing process and timing of Yankee’s operation remain unsettled.
