Hydro & Substation Projects for GMP

Statewide, Vermont and New Hampshire | Green Mountain Power

Green Mountain Power (GMP) is a private electrical utility provider that maintains much of Vermont’s electrical distribution and hydroelectric power-generating infrastructure, solar farms, and natural gas cogeneration facilities. As GMP has grown through expansions and small utility provider acquisitions over the past 20 years, D&K has supported approximately 200 projects, and we continue to provide civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, environmental services, and survey to support maintenance and upgrades to GMP’s facilities. Projects have included new transmission and generation facilities, as well as operations and maintenance for facilities recently acquired by GMP in Vermont and New Hampshire.
