When the project was commissioned late 2012, Burlington Electric Department General Manager Barbara Grimes commented, “This project fits perfectly into BED’s sustainability goals. We are moving toward a 100 percent renewable power portfolio. Also we like power close to home so that these dollars recirculate in the economy. Projects such as Georgia Mountain Community Wind are pro-environment and pro-economy.”
