- Services | CPCNH – Community Power NH
Discover the shared services CPCNH offers to Community Power members—including program operations, local project support, vendor opportunities, and policy advocacy. Projects & Programs The Coalition’s business model has been designed to provide Member Community Power programs with: Local program options to offer innovative rates and services to customers; Joint contracting opportunities for the construction of local renewable and battery storage projects; and Expert guidance on energy risk management, rate setting, and financial reserves — sufficient to ensure that Community Power programs remain operational and stable as technologies, market dynamics and consumer preferences evolve in future. The Coalition's strategy to modernize market rules and policies, develop local programs and projects — while managing a cost-effective portfolio of energy contracts — reinforce and enable one another, and are intended to ensure that Community Power programs achieve the full range of their local policy objectives over the long-term. Learn More Annual Solicitation Program to Increase Renewable Energy (ASPIRE) Details Group Net Metering & Poverty Plains Project Details Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) Details Vendors & Developers: Register for Project Information Details About CPCNH Projects & Programs Innovative Local Programs & Customer Services Facilitating the design and deployment of innovative, cost-effective local programs is a strategic and financial priority for the Coalition. These offerings will help our Members' Community Power programs: Lower electricity supply costs and risk in aggregate, along with the electricity bills of participating customers; Strengthen customer relationships and local brand recognition; and Protect against customer attrition (the risk that customers opt-out of the program over time by choosing an alternative supplier). Cost-effective local programs are designed to offer new retail products and services that enable customers to: Intelligently moderate their use of electricity from the grid during times of high wholesale power prices and when the physical grid is constrained (at-risk of not being able to deliver enough power to meet all customers’ usage requirements during the hours of “peak demand”); and Increase their use of electricity from the grid when wholesale prices are depressed and the physical grid is not constrained. Examples of innovative retail products and services that enable customers to do so include time-based rate options, individual and group net metering, distributed generation and energy storage programs, electric vehicle charging rates, and other services that leverage third-party aggregators and directly empower customers with new technologies. Intelligent use of electricity simultaneously lower costs for both individual customers (from a “total bill” perspective, inclusive of transmission and distribution charges) and each Member’s Community Power program in aggregate (from a supply cost perspective) — provided that the local programs are properly designed to achieve these over-lapping objectives. Energy Risk Management & Financial Reserve Policies To guide the long-term stability of Member Community Power programs, the Coalition assists Members in adopting the Coalition's Energy Portfolio Risk Management, Retail Rates, and Financial Reserve policies . The purpose of these policies is to: Guide each Member’s Community Power program to allocate their customer revenues in ways that balance their community’s goals and objectives over the short-to-long term; and Define how the Coalition will conduct energy procurement risk management, ratesetting, and financial reserve fund management on behalf of each Member (e.g., to remain in compliance with the policies). The Coalition manages a single power portfolio on behalf of Member Community Power programs, and our policies help ensure that the Coalition adequately analyzes and plans for contingencies (such as power supply shocks, economic downturns and regulatory changes) and remains able to draw on capital reserves or credit support sufficient to maintain (1) rate stability for customers and (2) adequate cash flow for program operations in these situations. As Members accrue financial reserves, the Coalition will be able to facilitate additional ways to lower costs and create new value for our Members — and further enhance the financial stability of participating Community Power programs in the process. As one example, the accrual of sufficient reserves will allow the Coalition to begin self-providing the collateral required for wholesale power market transactions and power purchase agreements. This will lower the capital costs and risk premiums otherwise embedded into the price of power for Members. Development of Renewable and Battery Storage Projects As Members demonstrate the ability to accrue reserves sufficient to ensure their financial stability — and maintain or grow their customer base by offering competitive rates and innovative services over time — the Coalition will be able to facilitate new local project developments for Members that elect to jointly participate in long-term contracting solicitations. As context: Project developers and financiers require long-term power purchase agreements (e.g., 10 years) to justify the upfront cost of constructing renewables and battery storage facilities; Consequently, project financiers will not execute long-term contracts with a Community Power program if they do not believe that the program will remain a stable, credit-worthy counterparty — and able to meet its payment obligations over the length of the contract. Achieving the ability to execute long-term contracts and build new renewables and battery storage projects is a priority for the Coalition. This objective is a common policy goal for many of our Member communities and will additionally diversify the Coalition’s energy supply portfolio — helping stabilize our operating margins by intelligently hedging our Members’ collective exposure to wholesale market dynamics and price fluctuations over time.

- CPA Rulemaking | CPCNH – Community Power NH
Track New Hampshire rulemaking for Community Power Aggregation (CPA) and learn how CPCNH is shaping energy policy through regulatory engagement. Rulemaking for Community Power Aggregations Adopted Puc 2200 MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY AGGREGATION RULES (pdf ) (word ) Transcript of Commissioner Carleton Simpson's remarks endorsing CPA rules as "landmark" and "transformative" On December 1, a coalition of public stakeholders led by CPCNH filed a petition with the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission for rulemaking to implement RSA 53-E. See below for documents related to the rulemaking for Community Power Aggregations (CPA). 2021-12-01_Public Stakeholders Petition for Rulemaking cvr letter.pdf 2021-12-01_Public Stakeholders Petition for Rulemaking.pdf 12-1-21_Public Stakeholders Initial Proposal for Puc 2200 CPA rules.pdf 12-1-21_Public Stakeholders Proposal for PUC 2200 CPA rules vs DOE proposal.pdf 2021-10-25_Dept. of Energy Petition for Rulemaking.pdf 2021-10-25_Dept. of Energy Petition for Rulemaking_draft amendments.pdf RSA 53-E as amended by HB 315 off 10-25-21.pdf RSA 53-E first authorized the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to adopt administrative rules governing CPAs on 10/1/19. In the winter of 2020 City of Lebanon Assistant Mayor Clifton Below, who now also serves as Vice Chair of CPCNH, prepared a first draft of proposal rules for CPAs, based on his 4 years experience as Chair or Vice Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules when he was a State Senator, and his 6 years as a NH PUC Commissioner. That first draft became the working basis for a series of stakeholder meetings convened by PUC staff to further refine the proposed rules. Consensus among stakeholders was reached on large portions of the proposed rules and PUC staff prepared an initial rules proposal for consideration by the PUC Commissioners in late 2020. However, the PUC apparently put consideration of rules on hold once HB 315 was introduced that would have substantially changed and weakened RSA 53-E. Over the winter of 2021 the Community Power Coalition informal organizing group focused its efforts on securing amendments to HB 315 that actually improved the statute rather than weakening it, including a requirement for the PUC to adopt rules to implement the statute and for electric distribution utilities to propose purchase of receivables programs. After this successful negotiation , in the spring of 2021 Asst. Mayor Below modified the PUC staff draft initial proposal to reflect the anticipated changes in RSA 53-E from the consensus version of HB 315 and met with PUC staff and representatives of Eversource, the largest and lead utility in the HB 315 negotiations, to refine the draft and try to find common ground. In the state budget trailer bill passed in late June, 2021, the PUC was split off from most of its former staff that were transferred over to a new NH Department of Energy (DoE) as of 7/1/21. On the day that HB 315 revisions to RSA 53-E went into effect the DoE staff petitioned the PUC to undertake rulemaking and offered proposed text based on our collaboration in the spring.
