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.

Drive Safely: Utility Pole Accidents Are More Common Than You Think
Vehicle accidents involving utility poles happen in VEC territory more often than many people realize. In fact, over the last 12 years, there have been an average of just under 17 car-pole accidents per year and on average more than one per month. Over the last decade or so, VEC crews have been responding to an overall gradually increasing number of accidents in which vehicles collide with utility poles causing damage to the poles and, likely, personal injuries and vehicle damage. (See chart above.)
