      Job creation

• A windpark can create a significant number of new jobs during construction, and fewer long-term, well-paying jobs when operational. Learn more about the kind of jobs that windparks create on our FAQs page.
• Noble is committed to hiring qualified residents and companies from the local and regional Vermont communities.

      Clean, plentiful, affordable energy

• Wind energy is 100% clean and renewable. Unlike fossil fuel power plants, wind energy creates no pollution - no acid rain, no smog, and no mercury, which is a harmful toxin, particularly to women and children. Read more about energy and the environment on our FAQs page.
• Vermont has abundant wind energy resources. Studies show that the region could get more than 10% of its electricity from wind and still impact less than 2% of the state's ridgelines!
• A windpark along Grandpa's Knob could create enough clean energy to provide the annual electricity needs of approximately 16,500 homes - that's nearly 50% of the housing units in Rutland County!

      Economic benefits

• The Grandpa's Knob Windpark would involve a total investment of up to $100 million.
• Tax payments from Grandpa's Knob would help reduce local taxes without putting a corresponding demand on municipal services. Read about how wind energy benefits the economy on our FAQ page.
• Lease payments to participating landowners and purchases from local vendors and service providers would significantly contribute to the local economy.
