Construction

If you’re looking for information about interconnecting your own generation to the grid, you’ve come to the right place! For further assistance, contact the Distributed Resources team at [email protected] or 802-770-3399.

There are several choices when considering interconnecting your generation source. The easiest way to separate them is by size as well as how you’ll be compensated for the power you produce.

Use the map below to see if there is 3-phase power available to a specified address.  Enter an address in the 'Find Address' bar nbsp;  Zoom into the area of interest.  If there is 3 phase available it will appear as a thick green line.  This map is based on plant records and does not perfectly represent the presence of energized 3 phase power.  It is imperative that the actual availability be confirmed with a Green Mountain Power representative.  The lines take a few seconds to paint, please be patient.

We're here to help get electric service to your new or renovated building. If you are setting up an account where there is already a meter, please call (888) 835-4672.

Process for starting a new project with GMP

The first step for a new project with GMP is to contact a distribution designer at a local service center. Your distribution designer will be your main contact during the planning stages of your project.

Make sure to check out financial incentives for businesses - we can help with heating and cooling, electric vehicle charging and fleets, energy storage, plus custom projects to help you reduce costs and carbon emissions.

For new projects your distribution designer will be your point of contact. Every service area has its own office and designer.

If you are setting up an account where there is already a meter, please call (888) 835-4672.

This is a letter from us stating we'll be able to turn the lights on in your new spot.

If you are planning new construction or a commercial addition to an existing facility, you will need what is called “An Ability to Serve” letter. This is a statement that we can supply power from our existing (or if necessary, upgraded) infrastructure.

Your local GMP distribution designer will help you with your project. We extend service to buildings that are permanent – houses, manufactured homes, garages, barns, and businesses, for example.

Your local GMP distribution designer will help you with your project. Check out the steps belowto keep your project on track.

The Vermont Utilities Electric Service Requirements Manual was produced by a voluntary association of electric utilities as a guide for constructing electric service facilities.

Timelines are dependent on the nature of the project and if all of the requirements have been met.

Overall costs can vary based on project specifics and your local distribution designer can provide you with an estimate and walk you through it. Details on pricing are in the Line Extension tariff which is reviewed and approved by the Vermont Public Utility Commission. If your project changes, the estimate will change, too. You can find your local distribution designer here: https://gmpsnapshot.greenmountainpower.com/help/distribution-designers/.

Temporary service will be installed in instances where permanent structures will not be available, such as construction trailers, road projects or service for contractors for construction purposes. The service term is six (6) months and there is an evaluation fee of $225.

Typically, a temporary service is limited to 6 months.
