CPCNH Announces Community Power Rates Effective February 1, 2026

On Thursday, December 18, 2025, the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) Board of Directors approved a rate adjustment that will go into effect starting February 1, 2026. Granite Basic rates will be between 14.0 and 14.9 ¢/kWh, depending on customer utility and rate classes. Rates are based upon CPCNH cost of service, including a community reserve adder sufficient to retire financing obligations in calendar year 2026. Retiring financing obligations and building community reserves will position local programs through CPCNH to advance their competitiveness for years to come.

“Community Power rates transparently reflect the organization's cost requirements to serve our communities,” said CPCNH Board Chair Kimberley Quirk. “Our commitment to enhancing community joint reserves will help position CPCNH to continue to realize the long-term value of community power, which is rooted in local decision-making and developing a more resilient energy future.”

“The vision of Community Power is a marathon, not a sprint, and CPCNH will continue to support our communities with the benefits that come from enhanced local control, customer choice, market innovation, project development, and public advocacy,” added Quirk.

Electric customers in NH have more choice today than ever before. Customers are free to choose between Community Power, third-party options, or their utility. To opt in, out, or to select cleaner power, customers can:
