How Community Power Works
Portsmouth Community Power combines the buying power of residents and businesses so that together we can achieve competitively priced electricity. Customers are always free to choose to buy power from Eversource, or from another supplier, by submitting notice in advance of their next utility meter read date. As part of the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire, we can control price volatility and choose which energy sources to buy or build.
Source
Portsmouth Community Power purchases electricity from the sources you choose.
Delivery
Eversource delivers the electricity using the same power line infrastructure and billing mechanisms.
Community
Portsmouth Energy Customers save money and have the power to choose new rates and products, and how much electricity comes from renewable sources.
Electricity markets are changing. Customers are generating their own power and adopting new technologies that add value to our energy portfolio. Portsmouth Community Power will harness that value, and empower customers to create a more innovative and cost-effective energy future.
