The VEC/VELCO Partnership How Does it Work?
If you've ever wondered what the relationship is between VEC and VELCO, you are not alone. The Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) manages Vermont’s high-voltage transmission system, the "interstate highway" that moves electricity across the state. VEC and other distribution utilities take that power, lower the voltage, and deliver it to homes and businesses. VELCO is owned by Vermont's 17 distribution utilities – one of which is VEC – plus VLITE (Vermont Low Income Trust for Electricity), which is a public-benefit corporation.
