Imagine what Plainfield would look like...
​
...powered completely by renewable energy
Plainfield Community Power is working towards that goal by expanding energy choices for our residents, while lowering costs.
​
In 2022, the Plainfield voters adopted the Plainfield Community Power Plan at Town Meeting.
​
We are now putting that plan to action to create short- and long-term benefits for our energy users.
How Community Power Works
Plainfield 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 their utility, or from another market option, by submitting notice in advance of their next utility meter read date.
​
By accessing the power market, we can control price volatility and choose which energy sources to buy or build.
Source
Plainfield Community Power purchases electricity from the sources you choose.
Delivery
Eversource, Liberty, and NH Electric Co-op deliver the electricity using the same power line infrastructure and billing mechanisms.
Community
Plainfield Energy Users 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.
​
Plainfield Community Power will harness that value, and empower customers to create a more innovative and cost-effective energy future.
