Green Mountain Power's reach — and Burlington's own utility

Green Mountain Power delivered electricity at sampled addresses across Essex, South Burlington, Rutland and Montpelier, the state capital — most of the cities we've checked. Burlington, Vermont's largest city, is the exception: it runs the Burlington Electric Department, its own municipal utility, rather than buying from Green Mountain Power.

Vermont doesn't run a retail electricity market, so there's no supplier to shop for — whichever of the two utilities holds your address delivers the power and bills you directly. Gas and water coverage isn't consistently confident yet in our sampling for these cities, so those accounts are worth confirming individually at the address level.
