Plan Designed to Protect Manufacturing Jobs in Vermont and Provide Greater Certainty to GMP Customers and GlobalFoundries
Vermont Business Magazine Green Mountain Power (GMP) today announced an agreement with GlobalFoundries (GF) to support its petition to the Public Utility Commission to become a self-managed utility at its Essex manufacturing site starting in 2023. If approved, GF would directly manage its own transmission connections, distribution system, and power supply costs according to its own goals, needs and operational standards. The agreement is aimed at strengthening GF’s position in Vermont with its nearly 2,200 manufacturing jobs, while also helping to protect all other GMP customers from rising costs. The plan is subject to regulatory review and approval.
This agreement with GMP aims to make GLOBALFOUNDRIES its own private utility and protect manufacturing jobs in Vermont essexreporter.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from essexreporter.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.

An experienced and enthusiastic early childhood educator, Nelson runs Mountain View Child Care in North Troy. The 10 children enrolled there spend weekdays on her 100-acre property.
Their curiosity drives the curriculum. A conversation over the correct color of a cow once launched a yearlong focus on farm animals. The kids’ fear of bees inspired a beekeeping project; Nelson got a hive and some beekeeping suits to show them how honey is made.
