Item  5.  Other  Events-Announcement  of  Union  Vote  to  End  Strike

COLCHESTER,  VT -- Green Mountain Power Corporation (NYSE: GMP) announced Friday
that  its  101  union  employees voted to ratify a new contract, thus ending the
strike  that  began  January  4,  2001.

     The  contract  ratification followed an agreement worked out Tuesday during
10  hours  of  negotiations  with  a  federal  mediator.

     "We  are very pleased that the union members accepted the contract and will
be  returning  to  work. The new agreement enhances benefits to employees, while
giving  us flexibility necessary to improve service to customers. We welcome our
101  employees  back  and  look  forward  to working together again to serve our
customers," said Christopher L. Dutton, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Green  Mountain  Power.

     The  contract ratified Friday by Local 300 of the International Brotherhood
of  Electrical Workers provides for wage increases of 3 percent, 3.5 percent and
4  percent  over  three  years; allows the Company to establish two second-shift
crews  to  provide  faster  service  in  the  late  afternoon and evening hours;
provides  the  opportunity for the Company to offer voluntary 10-hour/4-day work
weeks; and gives union employees healthcare benefits with at least 90 percent of
the  cost  paid  by  the  Company.

     The creation of the second-shift crews was one of the more difficult issues
in  contract  negotiations.  Under  the  provisions ratified by the members, the
second  shift  will work from 11:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. at an increased premium
pay  rate.  The positions would first be posted, but if there are no volunteers,
it  would  be  staffed  by  employees  who  are scheduled to be on-call for that
particular  week.

     "We  are  pleased  to  have found a way to operate a second shift crew that
accommodates  the  concerns  of  both  parties.  Improving  our response time to
trouble  calls  in  the  late  afternoon and early evening hours is an important
component  of  our overall focus on providing better customer service," said Mr.
Dutton.

     All  workers  are  expected  to  return  to  work  on  Monday.

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