The Berlin Solar Project brings 842.4 kW of new distributed solar capacity to Green Mountain Power’s (GMP) growing renewable portfolio. As part of GMP’s 2025 Distributed Renewables RFP, this project reflects the utility’s strategic commitment to mid-scale solar developments that accelerate Vermont’s clean energy transition. Located at 118 Chartrand Lane, the site has already received a General Permit for stormwater discharge during construction, signaling regulatory readiness and environmental compliance from the outset.

Economically, the Berlin project brings clear local benefits. It creates construction-phase jobs, sources regional materials, and generates ongoing revenue that supports local services through lease or tax payments. By contributing to GMP’s “2030 Zero Outages Initiative,” the project may also play a role in enhancing grid resilience—offering potential value through avoided transmission upgrades or reduced outage risks. This positions the project not just as a clean energy generator, but as a long-term contributor to Vermont’s energy reliability and infrastructure efficiency.

From an investment perspective, the project’s size—just under 850 kW—offers a balanced scale that allows for cost-effective operations and maintenance, while remaining manageable within the state’s grid and regulatory framework. It benefits from a strong offtake agreement with GMP, a highly creditworthy utility, ensuring stable cash flows. In addition, Vermont’s supportive policies around interconnection and distributed energy—through net-metering and other structures—reinforce revenue predictability over the long term.

Altogether, the Berlin Solar Project combines regulatory readiness, local economic value, and long-term investment security, making it a strong addition to Vermont’s distributed solar landscape.
