Vermont Gas Utility Tests Geothermal Infrastructure Model
Vermont Gas is testing a geothermal infrastructure model, exploring whether its existing utility network and expertise can support networked ground-source heating and cooling. The pilot points to how gas companies could pivot toward renewable thermal energy as states move away from fossil fuels. Details on scale, cost and results have not yet been widely reported.
Why now: It signals a potential business-model shift for gas utilities amid the energy transition, which draws attention from energy and climate observers.
