Distributed Generation for Vermont: Making a Virtue of Necessity

The New England grid operator (ISO-NE) has a Consumer Liaison Group to advise the operator and protect the interests of consumers.  In mid-March, Meredith Angwin moderated the panel discussion for that group's Vermont meeting.  Vermont and Green Mountain Power officials spoke of their plans for  "distributed generation." However, Vermont Yankee used to generate 70% of the electricity which was made in the state.  Now, Vermont imports almost all its electricity from out of state, while officials boast about Vermont's future plans for small-scale electricity generation. http://yesvy.blogspot.com/2015/03/distributed-generation-for-vermont.html#.VRG-uGbldpl
