From the Office of Governor Scott:
Governor Phil Scott, Vermont Gas, Efficiency Vermont, and other partners discuss weatherization and resources available to help Vermonters “button up” their homes before winter. Reporters can access by attending in person. Following remarks, the Governor and officials will be available for questions from members of the media.
From Efficiency Vermont:
On Wednesday, Oct. 22, Gov. Phil Scott will bring his weekly press conference to Burlington and join partners in the annual “Button Up Vermont” campaign to meet outside a Burlington home undergoing weatherization. It’s all part of encouraging Vermonters to “button up” their homes ahead of winter—and promoting the resources and incentives available to help households keep their homes warmer and their energy bills lower.
In addition to Gov. Phil Scott, speakers include:
- Kerrick Johnson, Commissioner, Vermont Department of Public Service
- Peter Walke, Managing Director, Efficiency Vermont
- Neale Lunderville, President & CEO, Vermont Gas Systems
- Darren Springer, General Manager, Burlington Electric Department
- Geoff Wilcox, Energy Services Director, Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO)
- Rose Friedlander, Marketing Manager, Energy Co-op of Vermont
Both Efficiency Vermont rebates and VGS incentives offer customers up to $9,500 for comprehensive weatherization projects. Incentives vary based on household size and income.
Income-eligible households may qualify for free weatherization through OEO's Weatherization Assistance Programs. Those programs are operated by organizations like CVOEO (serving the Champlain Valley), Capstone Community Action (serving Central Vermont), NETO (serving Northeast Vermont), SEVCA (serving Southeast Vermont) and BROC (serving Southwest Vermont).
