Item 8.01
Other Events.

On February 27, 2006, Green Mountain Power Corporation (the “Company”) received an order from the Vermont Public Service Board (“VPSB”) granting the Company’s request for an Accounting Order permitting the Company to defer certain revenues and expenses as follows:

 
1.
The Company is authorized to defer actual incremental power supply-related revenues incurred in the fourth quarter of 2005 in the amount of $1,245,444, incurred as a result of wholesale sales of electricity at unusually high prices resulting in part from 2005 hurricanes.
 
2.
The Company is authorized to defer and shall defer actual incremental power supply related costs incurred in 2006 up to a total of $3,716,634, which will be reduced by the revenues deferred and amortized pursuant to paragraph 1 above, incurred as a result of hurricane-related wholesale electricity price increases of power purchased to replace power recalled by Hydro Quebec under Green Mountain Power’s 9701 agreement with Hydro Quebec.

The Vermont Public Service Board Accounting Order is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
