ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS-Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation ("Vermont Yankee")
has  confirmed  that it plans to shutdown on May 11, 2002 for a mid cycle outage
to  repair  several leaking fuel rods. Vermont Yankee reduced power on March 21,
2002 to 91% for increased fuel management, to provide core wide suppression, and
reduce  the  likelihood of additional fuel leaks. Vermont Yankee plans to remain
at  91%  power  through  May 11, 2002 at which time the planned mid cycle outage
will  begin.  The  outage  is  anticipated  to  last ten to fourteen days. Green
Mountain  Power  Corporation's  (the  "Company")  share of the total cost of the
outage,  plus  its  replacement  power  cost  is  currently estimated to be $1.3
million,  pretax;  however,  the  actual  cost  to the Company could be greater,
depending  on  the  duration  of  the  outage.


     For further information, please contact Dorothy Schnure, Manager, Corporate
Communications  for  Green  Mountain  Power  at  802-655-8418.
