Project Overview

VPPSA Trombley Hill Solar

Project Testimonial(s):

“The Trombley Hill Solar project is an example of what can be accomplished when utilities and private developers work together to find innovative solutions that maximize local, state, and federal government programs. We have proven that it is possible to provide local renewable energy in a manner that is economical and equitable for all.”

Ken Nolan, General Manager of VPPSA

“I am so pleased that we are able to provide property for this exciting project. While all Vermont utilities buy a portion of Trombley Hill Solar’s output, Morrisville Water & Light gets the benefit of having the real electrons from the project serving the load of its customers."
