Vermont's Green Mountain Power

[begreen]

Is anyone here a customer of Green Mountain Power? This article is a glowing review of what they've accomplished. Sounds too good to be true in some ways, but I really like what the article reports they are doing and their perspective. Wondering what locals think.

I never realized what a B-corp was until read up on it last night.

We visited Vermont a few years ago on vacation. What a beautiful state, makes me jealous. The only scenery I see is corn and soybeans. *sigh*

I live in the Champlain Valley and am a GMP customer. I've recently signed up for a tesla battery and plan to install pv and net meter. I like GMP's incentives and the idea of using the battery hooked to solar to weather power outages.

GMP's motivation for all of this is to smooth out spikes in the grid by storing power in distributed home batteries and then pull power from them when needed. The downside for me is if I lose power and the battery is only at 50%. Time will tell how well the battery fares through a winter outage when solar potential is low. I'll keep the wood stove cranked just in case. : )
