September 12, 2007 VIA EMAIL Susan Hudson, Clerk Vermont Public Service Board 112 State Street, Drawer 20 Montpelier, Vt 05602 RE: Energy Efficiency Utility (“EEU”) Structure Working Group Dear Ms. Hudson: Concern has been expressed that the 3 year contract for the EEU is problematic. However contracts for longer periods should include provisions that would terminate the contract if the EEU were to reach a point at which it wouldn't be able to deliver amounts of energy savings at a specified margin below market cost. Theoretically when the consumers of the state of Vermont use energy efficiently the EEU would have done its job and could retire. Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I look forward to our discussions at the next scheduled meeting, this Friday, September 14, 2007. Sincerely, Linda Reeve Rates Analyst Vermont Electric Cooperative, Inc
