What Green Mountain Power does

Green Mountain Power Corporation (GMP) is a privately held, regulated electric utility headquartered in Colchester, Vermont, serving more than 275,000 residential and business customers across the state under Vermont Public Utility Commission oversight. Founded in 1893 and employing 510 people (including 275 IBEW members), GMP operates as Vermont's largest electric utility, delivering an annual energy mix that is 100% carbon free and 79% renewable, and was the first utility in the world to earn B Corp certification.

GMP's core technology platform is a 75 MW Virtual Power Plant (VPP) — the largest dispatchable power source in Vermont — that aggregates distributed home batteries (Tesla Powerwall and the newly added Enphase IQ Battery 10C), EVs, and thermal storage under approved BYOD and Energy Storage System Tariffs. The company is investing $1.5 billion through 2030 in its Zero Outages Initiative, combining undergrounding of cables, storm-hardening of lines, and energy storage deployment, financed through an approved 3.55% rate increase raising $280 million for the first two years. Complementary resilience assets include the first-in-the-nation all-renewable microgrid in Panton, mobile battery storage units, and the Hillside East at O'Brien Farm all-electric storm-resilient neighborhood.

Revenue is generated primarily through regulated electricity sales across multiple rate classes (residential Rate 1, time-of-use Rate 11/14/22, critical peak Rate 9/14, EV Rate 72/74, and large commercial/industrial Rate 63/65), supplemented by recurring revenue from battery lease programs (Enphase IQ Battery 10C at $55/month for ten years, $5,500 purchase option), EV rebate program administration through a 60+ dealer network, and a Business Innovation team that delivers free energy consultations and electrification incentives to commercial customers (King Arthur Baking, A. Johnson Lumber, Bolton Valley). All pricing is subject to Vermont PUC approval via Multi-Year Rate Plans (current MYRP ending September 2026; proposed 2026-2030 plan filed).

Direct peers

• Eversource Energy: Investor-owned New England electric utility serving CT, MA, and NH with similar weather-resilience challenges and customer-experience focus. Comparable in regulated T&D operations and storm-hardening capex programs.
• Liberty Utilities (New Hampshire/Vermont): Operates as a regulated electric utility directly within Vermont and adjacent New Hampshire, overlapping GMP's service territory and customer base. Most directly comparable in scale and regulatory framework.
• Unitil Corporation: Small-cap New England regulated electric and gas utility serving NH, MA, and ME. Closest publicly traded peer in scale (~500K customers combined), New England footprint, and customer-segment mix.
• Austin Energy: Municipal utility serving Austin, TX with nationally recognized renewable portfolio leadership and innovative customer programs. Comparable as a regulated utility that has used innovation and ESG positioning as a brand and regulatory differentiator.
• Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD): California municipal utility with deep renewable portfolio and customer electrification programs. Comparable in mission-driven utility positioning and pursuit of carbon-free supply, though larger and in a different regulatory environment.

Broad incumbents

• National Grid (US): Large multi-state IOU serving upstate New York and Massachusetts with regulated electric and gas distribution. Comparable in regulated T&D operations and New England weather exposure, though materially larger.
• Avangrid: Owns UI and NYSEG in New England/New York, a multi-state regulated utility with similar T&D profile and renewable integration programs. Larger and more diversified than GMP but directly comparable in regulatory model.
• Consolidated Edison: New York–based regulated utility with strong innovation investment in grid modernization and customer programs. Comparable in regulated T&D operations and resilience-focused capex, though much larger and more urban.
• Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E): Large California IOU undergoing a multi-year transformation focused on undergrounding, wildfire mitigation, and grid resilience — the highest-profile parallel to GMP's Zero Outages Initiative, though at vastly greater scale and with different regulatory constraints.
• Xcel Energy: Multi-state regulated utility recognized as an industry leader in renewable portfolio scale and clean energy transition programs. Comparable in the strategic pairing of regulated returns with bold decarbonization investment.
