AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Clean Energy Grid Resilience: Green Mountain Power says its Vermont “virtual power plant” pulled 90 megawatts during an early-July heat wave, cutting about $6 million in peak power costs by using stored energy when wholesale prices spike. Public Health & Wildlife: Vermont’s next rabies vaccine bait drop starts Aug. 1, with about 915,700 baits planned across multiple counties as cases rise sharply in recent years. Invasive Species Control: Burlington is enlisting residents to help remove invasive buckthorn at Oakledge Park by picking shoots from marked stumps, aiming to protect native habitat without herbicides. Landfill Governance in the Region: New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte signed HB 707, expanding landfill options and creating a siting committee after local backlash tied to a proposed landfill near Forest Lake. Aquatic Science: New research highlights contagious catfish melanoma in a Vermont-Canada lake, raising questions for fish health and potential cancer research. Climate Policy Court Fight: A judge questioned New York’s “polluter pays” climate law, signaling courts may be skeptical of state efforts to charge fossil fuel companies for climate impacts. Food Waste Policy Tradeoff: A UVM-led study says nationwide food recycling could cut emissions up to 99%, but plastic contamination in compost could spread onto farmland unless packaging and sorting improve. Workforce & Care: Crescent Manor in Bennington began recruiting bachelor-prepared registered nurses from Mexico to address Vermont’s long-term care staffing shortages.
