Exciting transition.

Big day yesterday. Chris Dutton announced his plans to retire in August. Mary Powell, our COO, will become President and CEO. Not unexpected, and we are lucky enough to move from one incredible leader to another amazing one. After working with Chris for more than 20 years and Mary for 10 years, my admiration for both only grows. Without Chris at the helm, I’m convinced we would not have survived our financial crisis nearly 10 years ago. His steady hand kept us from plunging into bankruptcy. Chris and Mary together led the reinvention of this Company, to where we are now recognized for our environmental work, for being a great place to work and for financial success. Most importantly, they changed our corporate culture. This is an amazing place to work. And one of the best things – they are the most approachable, friendly folks you’d ever want to work with.

We live in Kittery, Maine. Our summer property on Lake Champlain has been in the family over 100 years. So I cannot claim to be a major user of Green Mountain Power.

In Kittery we are in the process of installing a modest windmill that will supplement the power we get from Central Maine Power. The payback looks very promising. It will be quieter than the near by highway. Whether Green Mountain Power builds windmills or not, and I would encourage them to do so, I will suggest that local groups can install windmills next to schools or municiple buildings to their advantage.
