About electricity rates in New Hampshire
New Hampshire restructured its electricity market, so households can buy supply from a competitive supplier or take default service from their local utility, which still owns the wires and bills for delivery. Eversource serves most of the state, with Unitil, Liberty Utilities and the New Hampshire Electric Co-op covering other areas. Many towns have also formed community power programs that purchase supply on behalf of residents. The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission oversees rates.
The Seabrook nuclear plant provides a large share of in-state generation, supplemented by natural gas, hydro, biomass and wind within the shared New England grid. Winters are long and cold, but most homes heat with oil, propane or wood rather than electricity, although heat pumps have become more common. Net metering is available for rooftop solar.
