| Partner Profile In 2006, Green Mountain College became the first campus to be powered in part through investment in Central Vermont Public Service's Cow Power program, through which the utility delivers energy created from burning biogas created from cow manure on Vermont dairy farms. The College committed to buy 50 percent of its main campus electric usage from Cow Power and 100 percent on all other accounts, which include the president's house, the college farm, the college inn and alumni house, and an off-campus residence hall in Killington. | |
