RUTLAND, VT--(Marketwire - February 24, 2009) - Central Vermont Public Service (NYSE: [ CV ]) issued 2009 earnings guidance today, stating that for the year, the company anticipates earnings in the range of $1.40 to $1.60 per diluted share of common stock. As part of the alternative regulation plan base rate filing approved by the Vermont Public Service Board, the company's allowed rate of return will be 9.77 percent, down from 10.21 percent.

"We are giving a wider guidance range than in previous years due to expected continued market and price volatility," said CVPS Chief Financial Officer Pamela Keefe. "The power adjustment and earnings sharing mechanisms within our alternative regulation plan should keep us within this range."

"We have worked extremely hard to control costs for our customers and shareholders alike, and will continue to do so in the months ahead," President and CEO Bob Young said. "According to the Edison Electric Institute, we have the lowest rates in New England of any major utility, and we remain a solid value for investors."

CVPS will release its 2008 year-end earnings results before the market opens on Thursday, March 12. Mr. Young and Ms. Keefe will host an earnings conference call on Friday, March 13, at 11 a.m. At that time, they will discuss the company's financial results, as well as progress made toward achieving its long-term strategy.
