Green Mountain Coffee Goes Solar

With nearly 600 panels, the roof of Green Mountain Coffee’s distribution facility in Waterbury will become Vermont’s biggest solar array by summer 09. The all-VT deal was struck between GMC, the State, Green Mountain Power, and groSolar. The yield? About 1% of the company’s overall power usage, but a small step in the right direction. We look forward to getting up on the roof this summer to check it out.
