New Hampshire’s electric rates will significantly increase on August 1, 2026, due to a $50 million undercollection issue from earlier pricing mistakes by regulators. Eversource’s rate will rise 24% to 14.009 cents per kilowatt-hour. Residents are urged to act quickly if they wish to switch suppliers before the new rates take effect.
New Hampshire’s bold funding for a study on leaving ISO-New England could reshape the state’s energy landscape. This isn’t just political theater; it’s a crucial decision that risks exposing ratepayers and municipalities to long-term costs. The $230,000 study marks a turning point where institutional backing transforms assumptions into policy justifications.
