What does this mean?
The Vermont Public Service Board recently approved a contract for Vermont utilities to buy power from Hydro-Québec for 20 years. The new contract will supply about 20% of Vermont’s power needs, bringing 225 MW of power into Vermont to replace an expiring contract for 310 MW. The starting price for the power is about $58.07 per MWh and will be adjusted annually based on regional electricity prices. Vermont regulators found the agreement provides Vermont financial benefits by locking in a stable price that is lower than many other sources of electricity. Contracts such as this represent only the tip of the iceberg for power imports from Québec, as Hydro-Québec partners to build transmission lines through New York and New Hampshire.

Power Hungry - Hydro Quebec or the Dunderdale Government?
What does this mean?
North of Vermont’s border, Hydro-Quebec is developing or planning for over 10,000 MW of new generation, as well as connections to high-voltage transmission lines through New Hampshire and New York. Any connection between Vermont and Newfoundland would likely go through Hydro-Quebec lines, and the two provinces have a long history of clashing on energy relations.

Where's the Premier?
Is the Premier in town?
I thought he was...
No word out of his office that he's away - curious because:
Noting that five eastern provinces of Canada and the six New England states have worked together on many issues over nearly three decades, Gov. Douglas said doing so now is increasingly important.

No word out of his office that he's away - curious because:
February 11, 2007 -- Quebec City, Quebec – Vermont Governor Jim Douglas today joined Quebec Premier Jean Charest in calling for the region to adopt a host of energy measures to combat the growing costs – both economic and environmental – of global warming.
In opening remarks at the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers forum on energy and the environment, Gov. Douglas said he was proud of the work Vermont and other jurisdictions had already done. Douglas emphasized, however, that a greater reliance on conservation, efficiency and renewable sources of energy is a key component of the entire region’s economic and environmental future.
