CVPS Cow Power - Renewable energy one cow at a time.

CVPS Cow Power™ offers significant benefits to CVPS electric customers, participating Vermont farmers and the environment, and furthers state policy. Some customers want to reduce their reliance on non-renewable energy, so providing customers with a renewable energy choice is important. Cow Power will provide a new income stream to participating farmers, help reduce some of the water quality impacts of farming through the introduction of innovative manure management technologies, and significantly reduce manure odors, particularly during spreading. Participating farms may also reduce bedding costs by using dry byproducts of the process in place of sawdust or other bedding. Funds not supporting farm methane power will support other renewable generation resources.
