VELCO's vision is to create a sustainable Vermont through our people, assets, relationships and operating model.
About us
VELCO is Vermont’s statewide electric transmission provider whose sights are set on creating a sustainable Vermont through our people, assets, relationships and operating model. Formed in 1956 when local Vermont utilities established the nation’s first “transmission only” company to access clean hydro power from New York, VELCO remains unique in two important ways: 1. Our ownership comprises the state’s 17 distribution utilities and a public benefits corporation; and, 2. our for-profit status is structured to return cooperative-like value to our owners, their customers, and every Vermonter. VELCO’s system now includes: 740 miles of transmission lines; 55 substations, switching stations and terminal facilities; 13,000 acres of rights-of-way; a statewide emergency service radio system; and, a 1,600-mile fiber optic network that monitors and controls the electric system and helps to deliver broadband services to Vermonters. Headquartered in Rutland, Vermont, VELCO employees strive to give Vermont’s utilities and their customers a reliable high-voltage grid, a strong unified voice on regional energy issues, and continued access to safe, reliable, cost-effective electricity.

Yesterday, team members from various Vermont Distribution Utilities, Vermont Electric Cooperative, Burlington Electric Department and Stowe Electric Department joined VELCO and the UVM Career Center for the inaugural Vermont Electric Utilities Day. The event provided students with valuable networking opportunities and allowed the Vermont utility community to showcase the exciting and impactful projects, internships and careers available in the industry. Students also benefited from 1:1 resume reviews and interview prep sessions. This successful event wouldn’t have been possible without the support and participation of the distribution utility teams and the UVM Career Center. We also want to acknowledge the impressive engagement from the students—your enthusiasm continues to inspire us. Thank you to everyone involved!

Great stretch of weather to wrap up LiDAR collection to support our Vegetation Management team at Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO). Thanks to Sharper Shape Group and Aethon Aerial for the acquisition and showing my kids what LiDAR collection looks like up close!
