"The Right Person for the Times: Mari McClure and GMP," from @vermontbiz a good weekend read on Mari's Zero Outages Initiative to keep #vt powered up & what drives the GMP team. With the first winter storm in the forecast - this matters now more than ever. https://t.co/wznfRTytJ2
Our Zero Outages Initiative builds on this #vt program highlighted in the @nytimes: "In total, Green Mountain Power has access to 50 megawatts of battery storage from school buses, home batteries and other sources, said Mari McClure, the utility’s chief executive." 1/2🧵⬇️
#Vt continues to lead the way! Collaboration is creating a strong, clean, cost-effective energy system for customers. Energy storage is key to lowering carbon and costs. Busses = batteries! @HighlandFleets@SynopAI@SBSchoolsVT#Innovation#ClimateAction https://t.co/DWt4dZOufQ
