Sustainable leadership BED is a pioneer in renewable energy sourcing, powering Burlington entirely with renewables. This positions the utility as a potential partner for advanced clean energy technology, storage solutions, and grid modernization projects.

EV expansion Multiple recent and planned EV charging initiatives, including pole-mounted chargers, city-wide charging ports funded by a federal grant, and multifamily charging pilots, indicate strong demand for charging infrastructure services and related software, hardware, and services.

Infrastructure investments Recent asset investments such as the wood-burning plant and a major charging port rollout suggest opportunities in generation asset optimization, grid integration, and charging network operations for municipal or utility-scale service offerings.

Partnership potential Recent collaborations with FirstLight Power and ongoing fleet electrification efforts create openings for co-development of energy storage, demand management, and flexible generation projects.

Funding readiness BED has access to federal grant funding for charging infrastructure and a substantial revenue scale, making it a favorable client for financing options, project management, and implementation of large-scale clean energy deployments.
