Integrated Resource Plan

Below is VGS’s effective Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) filed in January 2020. It reaffirms our commitment to act now on climate change and offer customers a decarbonized thermal energy future. The IRP addresses VGS’s commitment to meeting the thermal energy needs of current customers safely and affordably while addressing the urgent challenges and economic costs of climate change. In January 2024, we filed an updated IRP which is currently being reviewed by the Public Utility Commission and Department of Public Service in Case No. 24-0125-PET. Both plans are available below.

Alternative Rate Plan

Below is VGS’s effective Alternative Regulation Plan (ARP), incentivizing VGS to provide least cost service, just and reasonable rates, and safe and reliable service. Additionally, it includes incentives that advance state and energy policy by establishing a Climate Action and Innovation Budget enabling VGS to invest in climate action. This ARP allows us to maintain affordability and high quality service for our customers while also aggressively pursuing our Climate Action Plan goals. Read the entire plan below.
