Provider notes
Community. The Vernon Selectboard chair says a data center is the least popular option among townspeople, citing electricity use, water use and noise. The planning chair warned of a 'serious drain' on local water and power.
What the source record says
Very preliminary. PowerTransitions, a Texas-based company backed by Partners Group, has floated battery storage, a small modular reactor and a data center for the decommissioned Vermont Yankee site. The company says it 'had not made any decision about which option to pursue'. The Selectboard chair thinks battery storage is most likely. Any project would trigger Act 250 review. No data center size, MW or investment has been disclosed. The 140 acres is the whole site, not a data center footprint. Coordinates are the former plant's.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
Status history supplied by the source
- 2026-06 · source-reported proposed
PowerTransitions leased redevelopment rights to the roughly 140-acre former Vermont Yankee site from NorthStar. A data center is one of the options it has floated, along with battery storage and an SMR. No decision has been made.
