Research and Reports

Our reports always include evaluation of feasibility and economics,  just as required when presenting engineering estimates as licensed professional engineers.

Members of the Coalition have discussed the reports that are posted on our website.  However, the contents of each report are completely the responsibility of the author or authors of that report.  Each report is copyright to its authors. 

The most extensive report:

Our most important report to date: Vermont Electric Power in Transition, an evaluation  of VPIRG's  Repowering Vermont.   Click here.
