Episode Details

PowerTransitions, eyeing the former Vermont Yankee site, is reportedly leaning toward a battery storage facility — but Vernon’s residents aren’t just sitting back. They demand written guarantees of town involvement in future decisions and are wary of data centers due to energy, water, and noise concerns. While PowerTransitions previously floated battery storage, small modular reactors, and data centers, they’ve skipped recent town meetings — though they’re open to public dialogue. Residents also resent being bypassed by state officials and want PowerTransitions to make Vernon their first point of contact. With decommissioning expected to wrap up soon and the NRC still reviewing final approval, the town is pushing for clear financial terms and a solid plan before any green light.
