• Abstract:
  Vermont's Renewable Energy Standard supports the State of Vermont's goals to develop markets for renewable energy and reduce environmental impacts associated with conventional energy production. To comply with the standard, electric distribution utilities in the State may implement "energy transformation projects" that reduce fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by the utilities' customers. Electric utilities have developed electric bicycle (e-bike) incentive programs as one type of energy transformation project to comply with the standard. This case study focuses on the Burlington Electric Department (BED), Vermont's largest municipally owned electric utility, which serves about 20,000 customers in the city of Burlington and the Burlington International Airport.
