Vermont Electric Cooperative – Hinesburg

Encore developed and constructed a 1.7MW solar project on underutilized land in Hinesburg, Vermont for the Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC).  The objective of the project was to provide the customers of the rural electric cooperative with much-needed generation in a resource constrained and load intensive region of the service territory. The project will also allow VEC to secure the lowest cost power possible under a Purchase Power Agreement while allowing VEC to mitigate its exposure under the State of Vermont’s recently enacted Renewable Energy Standard. The project was commissioned February 2018.
