You can choose to support local Vermont renewable energy with GreenerGMP. Green Mountain Power uses Vermont resources to supply GreenerGMP purchases. In this way your participation in GreenerGMP increases the portion of GMP’s power supply mix that is obtained from new Vermont renewable sources. Your purchases from GreenerGMP support energy made from local cows, water, wind, trash, wood and the sun.
- Residential customers can choose to have Green Mountain Power designate renewable resources equal to 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent or even 100 percent of your monthly use.
- Commercial customers can choose to have Green Mountain Power designate renewable resources equal to any multiple of 10 percent of your monthly use.
- The additional premium for GreenerGMP is three cents per kilowatthour (subject to change, if approved by the Public Service Board).
The chart below shows the relatively low cost of receiving renewable energy. Shown here is a sample of what residential bills are now at three different usage levels, and then what the additional premium would be under GreenerGMP.
Remember, your actual use varies month to month, so the total monthly charge for GreenerGMP would vary as well.
