CONCORD, NH — The Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) Board of Directors has announced a 26% drop in the Community Power base electric rate to 8.1 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) beginning in February 2024. New rates are expected to generate $5.3 million in mem-ber community benefit.
Community Power Coalition will provide default energy service for more than 120,000 customers in a total of 28 cities and towns during the first half of 2024, with many more towns preparing to bring programs online.
“We are thrilled to once again offer cost-saving options and millions of dollars in savings to our cus-tomers,” said Brian Callnan, CEO of CPCNH. “We continue to strive toward offering greater commu-nity control, customer choice and the best electric rate possible for our growing list of member communities.”
The Coalition will again offer their customers the choice of 100%, 50%, and 33% renewable power at rates comparable to the Unitil, Eversource and Liberty base rates. The towns of Hanover, Peterborough and Plainfield are continuing to offer 33% renewable power as their default option.
