Vermont Electric Coop - Electric Lawnmower Bill Credit

Vermont Electric Coop offers a $50 bill credit for new corded or cordless residential electric lawnmowers purchased on or after May 5, 2019. To claim the credit, complete VEC's online form and submit proof of purchase. This incentive helps offset the upfront cost of switching from gas-powered equipment.

For commercial customers like lawn care businesses, state agencies, and institutions with campuses, VEC provides a $1,000 bill credit for qualifying commercial electric lawnmowers purchased on or after May 11, 2019. Certain models automatically qualify; others require pre-approval from VEC before purchase. Contractors should have customers verify model eligibility and complete VEC's online application form with purchase documentation.

The residential lawnmower incentive ($50 per unit) and commercial incentive ($1,000 per unit) are part of VEC's Energy Transformation Programs designed to displace fossil fuel use. Both are one-time, fixed bill credits available to VEC member-customers. Commercial eligibility encompasses lawn care businesses, state agencies, hospitals, universities, and other institutional campuses; other commercial end-users are evaluated case-by-case. Program processing occurs through online application forms with purchase verification required.
