REV Releases Results of Industry's Economic Impact

A recent survey of Vermont businesses that produce renewable energy, manufacture renewable energy technology, sell and install equipment, and offer related consulting services demonstrates that the renewable energy business significantly contributes to the state economy.
As of September 2007, 50 renewable energy businesses operated in Vermont. They employed more than 545 Vermonters, with total compensation exceeding $36 million. And they reported over $188 million in sales for the year.
The survey found that after totaling direct, indirect, and induced effects, the industry is a vital and growing contributor to Vermont's economy, responsible for:

Total sales of almost $259 million
About 1,115 jobs in Vermont
Total compensation equaling $55 million
$17 million in tax revenues (not counting personal or business income taxes)

For more information, see our fact sheet on the survey results.

Energy Prices in Vermont

See below for the ISO New England average market clearing price for electricity in Vermont as well as the fossil fuel price data collected by the Vermont Department of Public Service.
In the future we hope to post monthly price trends for renewable energy sources as well.
