List of power stations in Vermont

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sources of Vermont utility-scale electricity generation in gigawatt-hours, full-year 2025:[1]
  1. Hydroelectric: 1,206 (53.5%)
  2. Biomass: 426 (18.9%)
  3. Wind: 384 (17.0%)
  4. Solar: 236 (10.5%)
  5. Natural gas: 1 (0.04%)

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Vermont, sorted by type and name. In 2024, Vermont had a total summer capacity of 864 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 2,258 GWh.[2] In 2025, the electrical energy generation mix was 53.5% hydroelectric, 18.9% biomass, 17% wind, 10.5% solar photovoltaics, and less than 0.1% natural gas. Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 245 GWh to the state's electrical grid in 2025. This was about 4 percent more than the generation by Vermont's utility-scale photovoltaic plants.[1]

Vermont's 99.9% share of electricity from renewable sources was the highest in the United States during 2019. Vermont had the second lowest population after Wyoming, and total electricity consumption was the lowest among all 50 states. Vermont consumed three times more electricity than it generated in-state, and imported most of its electricity needs from Canada and New York.[3] Vermont's Renewable Electricity Standard aims for the state to obtain 90% of all electricity from renewable sources by 2050, in part by further reducing per-capita consumption through less waste and greater efficiency of electricity use.[4]
