Already registered to generate RECs in New Hampshire but not selling them? Learn how to start selling your RECs through the Community Power Coalition of NH. Registered, but not Currently Selling If you have previously registered your system with the NH DOE to generate RECs but are not currently selling RECs, follow the steps described below. Step 1: Review, Fill Out, and Submit REC Sale and Purchase Agreement Review CPCNH's Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Sale and Purchase Agreement and the current REC purchase price for the applicable REC class as posted on https://www.communitypowernh.gov/rec . Sign and print your name and fill in the date on page 5 of the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Sale and Purchase Agreement (linked to above) Fill in all "Seller info" and "Facility info" in the Appendix (i.e., page 6). If needed, your installer should be able to help with the “Facility info” portion of the Appendix. Once you have finished, submit an electronic copy of the signed Agreement by uploading it here . CPCNH will retain the submitted Agreement with your signature until all other steps in this list have been completed, at which time CPCNH will fill in the remaining items in the Appendix (based on other information that you will have provided along the way), countersign the Agreement, and email you an electronic copy signed by both parties for your records. Step 2: Notify NEPOOL GIS of Transfer of Facility/Generator to CPCNH Aggregation If you fall into this scenario, this implies that you already have an account set up in NEPOOL GIS where your “facility” or “generator” currently resides. You will need to transfer your facility/generator to CPCNH’s aggregation. To do this, email the GIS Administrator (gis@apx.com ) to notify them of the transfer. Suggested email subject line: "notification of transfer of my generator to CPCNH's account." Suggested email body: "I am writing to advise you that I have agreed to allow the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) to aggregate RECs from my facility (INSERT YOUR GIS FACILITY CODE HERE—it likely starts with “NON”). As such, I will be transferring my generator (INSERT YOUR GIS FACILITY CODE) to CPCNH's account and am writing to notify you in advance of that transfer per GIS Operating Rule 2.6(b) and/or (c). Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions." Step 3: Login to NEPOOL GIS to Make Transfer Log into your NEPOOL GIS account to make the transfer. Once inside your account, you should see "Transfer" as one of the menu items across the top of the screen. If you click on "Transfer" and select "GIS Generators" it should bring up a list of your generators/facilities and their Unit IDs (aka GIS Facility Codes). Select the generator that you want to transfer (by clicking the box on the left side of the table), and then at the top of that box in the dropdown menu titled "Transfer to", select "Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire." Next, click the box at the bottom, which attests that you have emailed the GIS Administrator about this transfer in advance of executing the transfer. Finally, click the "Transfer Ownership" box at the bottom right of the screen. Once you have completed this step, CPCNH will receive an email notifying us that your facility/generator has been transferred to our account. Step 4: Notify NHDOE of Your Transfer to CPCNH Aggregation The final step is to notify NH DOE that your generator/facility is now part of CPCNH’s aggregation. Suggested email title: "notifying you that [INSERT YOUR GIS FACILITY CODE] is now part of CPCNH's REC aggregation." Suggested email body: "I am writing to advise you that I have agreed to allow the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) to aggregate RECs from my facility (INSERT GIS FACILITY CODE) . As such, I have transferred my generator (INSERT GIS FACILITY CODE) to CPCNH's account in NEPOOL GIS and am writing to let you know of this change so that you can adjust your records. Please let me know if you have any concerns or questions."

Follow CPCNH’s step-by-step guide to register your renewable energy system for REC eligibility and begin generating Renewable Energy Certificates in New Hampshire. New REC Registrations If you have never registered your system with the New Hampshire Department of Energy (NH DOE) to generate RECs, you must follow the 6-step process detailed below. Note: Registering your system to generate and sell RECs is a multi-step process. There are state and regional regulatory requirements that must be met. Even when everything goes smoothly, the process can still take a while. We have tried to make this process as easy as possible for you by (A) laying out these instructions, (B) making all required forms fillable and pre-filling the portions that we can, and (C) handling those steps in the process that we are able to take care of ourselves (e.g., registering your system with NEPOOL GIS). Even so, this process will require some work and attention to detail on your end. Before launching in, please review all steps listed below to make sure that you understand everything required . Step 1: Review, Fill Out, and Submit REC Sale and Purchase Agreement Review CPCNH's Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Sale and Purchase Agreement and the current REC purchase price for the applicable REC class as posted on https://www.communitypowernh.gov/rec . Sign and print your name and fill in the date on page 5 of the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Sale and Purchase Agreement (linked to above) Fill in all "Seller info" and "Facility info" in the Appendix (i.e., page 6). If needed, your installer should be able to help with the “Facility info” portion of the Appendix. Once you have finished, submit an electronic copy of the signed Agreement by uploading it here . CPCNH will retain the submitted Agreement with your signature until all other steps in this list have been completed, at which time CPCNH will fill in the remaining items in the Appendix (based on other information that you will have provided along the way), countersign the Agreement, and email you an electronic copy signed by both parties for your records. Step 2: Review, Fill Out, and Upload the REC Eligibility Application Review and fill out the NH DOE’s REC Eligibility Application that applies to your situation: If your system is 100 kW-AC or less, use our application below . If your system is over 100 kW-AC, use this application. To register a thermal facility to generate NH Class I Thermal RECs, contact the NH DOE at recapplicationgroup@energy.nh.gov to request the correct application. Upload a completed copy of the applicable REC Eligibility Application , along with the additional information that it requires (e.g., a copy of your interconnection agreement, including a certificate of completion). CPCNH will review your form and send it back to you if it is not complete, or if something looks amiss. CPCNH has pre-filled as much of this information as we can; you are responsible for providing the remaining information and affirming the various attestations. If you need help with this task, ask the contractor who installed your system, as they should have all this information handy. If you are working with an Independent Monitor**, they may be able to help you answer the various check boxes. Until you fill out this form and submit it to CPCNH for review, we have very little information about your system; as such, we are not able to help with this task. **NH DOE maintains a list of approved Independent Monitors . If your system’s inverters/meters meet the NEPOOL GIS requirements for meter accuracy and reporting capabilities, you can forego hiring an Independent Monitor. For example, SolarEdge has a number of products that meet this threshold; other manufacturers may as well. Talk to your installer early in the process to see whether they can provide the necessary approved equipment. application Step 3: CPCNH Registers Your System with NEPOOL GIS & Obtains “GIS Facility Code” Once CPCNH is satisfied that your REC Eligibility Application form is complete, we will use the information supplied on that form to register your system within the New England Power Pool’s Generation Information System (NEPOOL GIS) . NEPOOL GIS is New England’s official REC registry and is where the RECs generated by your system will be created. Registering your system with NEPOOL GIS will result in the creation of the “GIS Facility Code” that is requested on the NH DOE application. CPCNH will add this GIS Facility Code to your NH DOE application and then send the application back to you to submit to the NH DOE (see next step). Note that your NEPOOL GIS facility status will be listed as “Pending” until the NH DOE approves your application and notifies NEPOOL GIS that it has certified your system as eligible to generate RECs. Step 4: Email Completed Application to NH DOE Once you have received the NH DOE’s REC Eligibility Application back from CPCNH with the GIS Facility Code filled in, you must email the completed form to NH DOE at recapplicationgroup@energy.nh.gov . For the email subject line, we suggest “REC Eligibility Application attached.” For the body of the email, we suggest “Attached, please find a completed REC Eligibility Application for my PV system. I own this system and grant CPCNH permission to aggregate the RECs generated by this system.” Include your contact info as well. After submitting the completed form via email, please monitor your email for potential responses from NH DOE, in case they have any questions on your application. Step 5: Receive NH DOE Approval and Countersigned Agreement from CPCNH Once NH DOE approves your REC Eligibility Application and issues a certificate of eligibility for your facility, CPCNH will (A) fill in the remaining items in the Appendix of the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Sale and Purchase Agreement that you signed back in Step 1, (B) countersign that same Agreement, and (C) email you an electronic copy of the Agreement containing both signatures for your records. Step 6: NEPOOL GIS Process Certification – REC Generation Begins! The final step involves NH DOE informing NEPOOL GIS that they have certified your facility. Depending on the certification date, this step could take a few weeks as NH DOE informs NEPOOL GIS of new certifications only once a month. Once NEPOOL GIS receives this news, it will switch your account status from “Pending” to “Approved,” at which point your system will be ready to generate RECs!

Want to switch REC aggregators? Follow our step-by-step guide to move your NH-registered renewable system to CPCNH for Renewable Energy Certificate sales. Switching Aggregators If you have previously registered your system with the NH DOE to generate RECs and are currently selling your RECs to a different aggregator, but would like to switch to CPCNH, follow the steps described below. Step 1: Review Your Current Aggregator Contract Look through your current aggregator's contract to understand what their terms and conditions are around contract cancelation. If, after doing this and considering any potential early termination fees, you’d still like to switch, then proceed to Step 2. Step 2: Review, Fill Out, and Submit REC Sale and Purchase Agreement Review CPCNH's Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Sale and Purchase Agreement and the current REC purchase price for the applicable REC class as posted on https://www.communitypowernh.gov/rec . Sign and print your name and fill in the date on page 5 of the Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Sale and Purchase Agreement (linked to above) Fill in all "Seller info" and "Facility info" in the Appendix (i.e., page 6). If needed, your installer should be able to help with the “Facility info” portion of the Appendix. Once you have finished, submit an electronic copy of the signed Agreement by uploading it here . CPCNH will retain the submitted Agreement with your signature until all other steps in this list have been completed, at which time CPCNH will fill in the remaining items in the Appendix (based on other information that you will have provided along the way), countersign the Agreement, and email you an electronic copy signed by both parties for your records. Step 3: Cancel Your Current Aggregator Contract Cancel your contract with your current aggregator, ideally abiding by their terms and conditions (to avoid any early termination fees), and ask them to transfer your "generator" to the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) account within NEPOOL GIS. Your current aggregator should know how to make this transfer (if they don’t, email us for instructions). CPCNH will receive notification once the transfer has been made, at which point your generator will become part of CPCNH’s aggregation. Note that only your generator (i.e., PV system) will transfer to CPCNH; any RECs that have already been created by your PV system but not yet paid for by your current aggregator will not transfer (but presumably your current aggregator will pay you for all RECs created up to the date of termination — check your contract with them). Step 4: Notify NH DOE After the switch is complete in NEPOOL GIS, notify NH DOE that your RECs are now being aggregated by CPCNH rather than by your current aggregator. This requires an email from you addressed to "recapplicationgroup@energy.nh.gov " alerting DOE that you are switching aggregators and henceforth will allow CPCNH to aggregate your RECs. Include sufficient information in your email to allow NH DOE to identify your system(s) in their records — e.g., your name, the facility name (if different), and ideally also your NEPOOL GIS facility code(s), which likely starts with “NON”.

Our History The Coalition’s ad-hoc “Organizing Group” of municipal officials and staff led the formation of Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire beginning in late 2019 and concluding with the organization's incorporation on October 1, 2021. The Organizing Group was led in part by following municipal officials: Clifton Below City of Lebanon Assistant Mayor & City Councilor Doria Brown City of Nashua Energy Manager Rod Bouchard Cheshire County Assistant County Administrator for Special Projects & Strategic Initiatives Julia Griffin Town of Hanover Town Manager April Salas Town of Hanover Sustainability Director Early Stage Formation Beginning in 2019, an ad-hoc work group known as the “Coalition Organizing Group” met regularly to research national best practices and explore the viability of establishing a new public power nonprofit to share services across municipalities and counties. The Coalition Organizing Group has been led by the following municipal and county staff and officials: City of Lebanon: Clifton Below, Assistant Mayor; Tad Montgomery, Energy & Facilities Manager; Everett Hammond, Assistant Public Works Director Town of Hanover: Julia Griffin, Town Manager; April Salas, Sustainability Director; City of Nashua: Doria Brown, Energy Manager; Cheshire County: Christopher Coates, County Administrator; Rod Bouchard, Deputy County Administrator; Town of Harrisville: Andrea Hodson, Selectwoman and member of Electric Aggregation Committee; Ned Hulbert, member of Electric Aggregation Committee. The Coalition has been supported by technical and community advisors including: Henry Herndon, formerly Director of Local Energy Solutions, Clean Energy NH; Dori Drachman, Co-Founder, Monadnock Sustainability Network; Samuel Golding, President, Community Choice Partners; Dr. Amro Farid, Associate Professor, Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College; and Mary Day Mordecai, Growing Edge Partners. Members of the Coalition’s Organizing Group have: Participated and often led discussions in the Community Power informal rule drafting process hosted by the Public Utilities Commission; Intervened in regulatory proceedings and legislative hearings to represent the interests of communities and customers, such as by advocating for expanded data access in the Commission’s Statewide Data Platform docket (DE 19-197 ), and successfully negotiating the clarification and expansion of key Community Power authorities in House Bill 315 ; Assessed power agency design best practices — in terms of community governance and competitive operating models — by interviewing elected officials, senior staff and vendors operating Community Power programs in other states (such as the Redwood Coast Energy Authority and Silicon Valley Clean Energy in California), along with representatives from public power associations (such as the American Public Power Association and the Vermont Public Power Supply Authority ) and other industry experts; and Hosted a virtual summit on Community Power that was attended by over eighty representatives from thirty-one municipalities, collectively representing one-quarter of the state’s default electricity market. Execution of legal, community engagement and professional services contracts In the second half of 2020, the City of Lebanon and Town of Hanover, in collaboration with the Organizing Group, after reviewing six responses to a Request for Qualifications, retained the law firm of Duncan, Weinberg, Genzer & Pembroke and worked with firm president Michael Postar Esq. and subcontracted New Hampshire counsel to draft the Coalition’s Joint Power Agreement. Duncan Weinberg are national leaders with over 50 years of public power legal guidance. In January 2021, the New Hampshire Attorney General approved our governance agreement as conforming to state law. Hanover and Lebanon are the first two municipalities to have voted to approve the Joint Powers Agreement to create the Coalition. In February 2021, the City of Lebanon — using previously secured grant funding and in collaboration with the Coalition’s Organizing Group — contracted with Henry Herndon (formerly the Director of Local Energy Solutions at Clean Energy New Hampshire) and Samuel Golding of Community Choice Partners, Inc. , to provide implementation support services prior to launch. Services include supporting municipalities throughout the Community Power approval and formation process, conducting competitive solicitations for the services, credit support and electricity procurement required to launch and operate member Community Power programs, and supporting the early-stage launch of the Coalition's power supply services and enrollment of initial customers. The Coalition subsequently contracted with qualified vendors and credit-worthy suppliers to cover the upfront cost of implementing Community Power programs, the expense of which will be amortized and recovered in program rates and charges to participating customers for a specified term. Similar at-risk and performance-based contract structures have been used to successfully launch and operate programs in other Community Power markets.
