Vermont Business MagazineThe Energy Co-op of Vermont, a fuel oil and home efficiency services cooperative with headquarters in Colchester, Vermont, announced today that John Quinney will retire as General Manager at the end of 2017 following the selection of a new General Manager."Since I started with the Energy Co-op in 2001, our mission has been to help Vermonters make their homes more comfortable, healthy and energy-efficient," says Quinney. "I'm proud of our unique position as a full-service fuel oil dealer that uses our cooperative business model to help our members make their homes more energy efficient and cut their fossil fuel use."
"John has been a strong advocate for placing efficiency and renewables at the heart of the Energy Co-op's business," said Energy Co-op Board Chair, Richard Faesy.
