On April 16, 2025, the Town of Hardwick Electric Department filed revised tariffs with the Vermont Public Utility Commission (PUC) for an increase in its retail rates of 13.24%. The overall increase in costs for the Electric Department is due largely to increases in the power supply and operating & maintenance cost categories of the cost of supplying and distributing energy to the consumer. The proposed retail rate schedule is to be effective on a service rendered basis beginning June 1, 2025.
Pursuant to 30 V.S.A. § 225, the Department of Public Service (PSD) will file its recommendation to accept or oppose the proposed increase by Friday, May 16, 2025.
Details of the tariff filing, testimony, and supplemental documentation can be found via ePUC under Case No. 25-0729-TF – Town of Hardwick Electric/tariff for 13.24% rate increase.
