Nationally recognized for innovative and advanced use of technology, Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) is the largest locally owned electric distribution utility in Vermont.

Established in 1938 to bring electricity to rural Vermonters, VEC serves its member-owners in 74 towns and eight counties. VEC employs approximately 100 Vermonters with headquarters in Johnson, Vermont, and service centers in Grand Isle, Newport and Richford.

As a consumer-owned cooperative, VEC is a democratic organization controlled by its members.  Members elect local representatives to serve on VEC’s twelve member Board of Directors. These directors actively participate in setting policies, making decisions, and are accountable to the membership.
