Unpreparedness of Clean Energy
The state of Vermont boasts one of the most environmentally friendly power grids in the United States, with two thirds of its electricity being derived from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric plants. The current objective is to increase this figure to 75% by the year 2032. It was therefore surprising when a new solar project in the region was recently denied, given the area's potential for renewable energy despite its low population. The existing power plants, in conjunction with a regular power supply from Canada, already contribute approximately 450 megawatts of electricity to the grid. However, the grid's capacity is limited to around 450 megawatts, rendering it incapable of accommodating any additional power generated in the area.

Green Energy Network Proposition
The transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, commonly referred to as the Great Energy Transition, encompasses a multitude of dimensions. These include the creation of new job opportunities, the emergence of electric vehicles, the use of biofuelled planes, the replacement of gas boilers with more sustainable alternatives, and the implementation of triple glazing. However, for those residing in rural communities near the idyllic village of Beauly, the transition entails the installation of pylons and cables in four directions, the construction of a vast new substation, and the incessant buzz that disrupts their sleep. These individuals find themselves at the intersection of a vast network of infrastructure that is being planned to transport power from its source to the central Highlands, and ultimately to the homes, businesses, hospitals, and schools located in the southern regions where the majority of demand exists.
