Vermont's generating fleet in context
Vermont's power-generating fleet holds 899 MW of nameplate capacity spread across 117 plants. That places it 50th of the 50 states and DC, counting down from the largest fleet. Hydro dominates at 37.3% of the state's capacity, followed by sources classed as Other at 26.3%, solar at 18.3%, and wind at 16.8%, with battery storage making up the remainder at 1.3%.
The five largest plants are Kingdom Community Wind at 65 MW, J C McNeil at 60 MW, VPPSA Project 10 at 47 MW, Berlin 5 at 42 MW, and Bellows Falls at 41 MW. Hydro and Other fuels dominate the biggest installations; Bellows Falls is a hydro plant, while Kingdom Community Wind is the sole wind plant in the top five. The oldest station still listed is Proctor, first online in August 1905; the newest is South Street - Middlebury, which came online in December 2023.
The fleet spans more than a century. Hydro plants run across 46 separate installations, while solar is split among 54 plants despite representing less than half hydro's share of capacity — many are small installations. The 5 wind plants and 3 battery-storage systems are fewer in number but contribute meaningfully to the mix.
