- Registered, Not Currently Selling | CPCNH – Community Power NH
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."
- Switching Aggregators | CPCNH – Community Power NH
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”.
- New REC Registrations | CPCNH – Community Power NH
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!

A Community Power local rate is an electricity supply rate established by a participating community that includes a small additional charge per kilowatt-hour. The additional revenue remains with the community and is placed in a dedicated fund to support locally determined energy projects and programs. Depending on the community, the funds may support initiatives such as energy-efficiency improvements, weatherization, clean energy rebates, public facility upgrades, or other projects that strengthen local energy resilience and generate long-term savings. Decisions about how the funds are used are made through the community’s local governance process. A community may offer its local rate as an optional product or designate it as the default rate for its Community Power program. How and why can members support a Refresh policy? 1. Your Community Power Program is the Default Provider Maintain your municipality’s status as the default electricity supplier. The refresh process ensures that eligible customers, those who recently opened electric accounts, are automatically enrolled in the Community Power program, unless they’ve previously opted out. 2. Higher Participation Supports Cost Savings for All Increased enrollment spreads fixed costs, strengthens group purchasing power, and helps provide rate relief. This is one of the key ways in which CPCNH delivers long-term value and stability to member communities. 3. Customers Retain Full Choice and Flexibility Notices sent to customers explain their options clearly. The mailer provides them with information that they might not be aware of otherwise. Member Representatives Can Support the Process Help share accurate information locally Utilize the Member Services team for support Include CPCNH resources/talking points on municipal websites and newsletters How often is a refresh done? In 2025, CPCNH adopted a New Customer Refresh Noticing & Enrollment Policy, which you can find in our Board Policies and Procedures folder . The Policy states that… the CEO or their designee, in consultation with the Portfolio Manager and Risk Management Committee, is responsible for determining the timing and cadence of new customer refresh noticing… The policy includes local control options by which CPCNH members may provide criteria to CPCNH to guide periodic customer refreshes of their Community Power program. Are all customers automatically enrolled? No. Mailers will only be sent to new customers on Utility default. They will only be enrolled if they take no action before their meter read date. Customers who have recently returned to their utility default energy service from a third-party supply option will receive similar notices. Customers who have previously opted out of Community Power will not be notified or enrolled. Customers who have opted out on one account but opened a new one for some reason will not be excluded. Customers with existing third-party contracts or net metering systems are not automatically enrolled. However, they can choose to opt in through the CPCNH portal or by contacting customer service if they wish to participate. Can mailers be customized? There is currently one template that is utilized for all mailers. This is the most efficient and streamlined approach operationally, and we strive to maintain consistent messaging. How do we prepare for a refresh? We contact the Utility and receive updated customer lists. We create mailers, customized for each Member City, Town or County that explain clearly what is happening and what options customers have. We send these out at least 30 days before automatic enrollment. From a customer perspective, the experience is the same as initial enrollment. Why is a Refresh necessary? A Community Power Program is classified under RSA 53-E as replacing the Utility default supply service, but it is not administered that way by the Utilities. When a home or place of business is vacated, the new occupants must sign up for an electric service account with their Distribution Utility. They will be issued a new account number and will be enrolled in the Utility’s supply program. Unless they take action to sign up for Community Power or contract with another third-party supplier, they will remain on Utility supply. So, over time, the total number of customers participating in the Community Power Program will go down, unless a “refresh” is conducted. We call this “customer attrition” and it has a significant impact upon participation rates. Without regular refreshes, a Program can see upwards of 10% reduction annually. What is a Refresh? A periodic enrollment of new electric accounts into an active Community Power Program. How is POR changing and why does it matter? Utilities are proposing significant reductions to their discount rates for POR in 2026, driven by lower bad debt, reduced capital costs, and reconciliation since POR began in 2025. Eversource proposed reducing the POR discount rate from 1.285% to 0.399% (residential) and from 0.370% to 0.274% (non-residential) Unitil (UES) proposed reducing the POR discount rate from 1.63% to 1.01% (residential) and from 0.43% to 0.22% (general) Liberty Utilities proposed reducing the POR discount rate from 1.439% to 0.000% due to over-collection as initial implementation costs and bad debt proved to be less than previously estimated. These downward adjustments will provide marginal rate relief for customers with third-party suppliers, including with CPCNH. What is Purchase of Receivables (POR)? Under Purchase of Receivables (POR) , utilities buy the supply portion of customer bills from third-party energy suppliers, including CPCNH, at a small discount to account for bad debt or customer non-payment. Utilities file a discount rate with regulators; a percentage of total receivables estimated to be uncollectible along with amortization of costs to implement POR and assume the responsibility for trying to collect customer non-payments. Do utility proxy rates reflect the full cost of energy supply? The PUC largely prescribed the methodology that utilities are to use to set “proxy rates.” CPCNH filed testimony last spring in cases involving Eversource and Unitil under-recoveries of their default service costs demonstrating that the PUC proxy rate methodology was very likely to underestimate costs most of the time and that the potential for under estimation was much greater than the potential for over estimation. Since then two representatives of investor-owned utilities in NH have acknowledged that the method for setting proxy rates is more likely than not to underprice actual market costs. For example, see transcript of Unitil 12/10/25 hearing at page 28. In March 2026, Liberty Utilities proposed a rate increase for May through July 2026 to achieve more complete recovery of $4.15 million in under-recoveries through July 2025 that the PUC approved for recovery last June. This was only half of a total of $8.3 million under-recovery of default service costs through July 2025 much of which is attributable to the proxy price being lower than the actual market costs for that period. Eversource initially sought to recover approximately $6.5 million in under-collections from 2022-2024 through its Stranded Cost Recovery Charge in June 2024, which the PUC first encouraged but ultimately denied last spring after CPCNH demonstrated that these under-collections were not due to customer migration and the launch of community power programs as Eversource originally suggested but turned out to be due to billing, load settlement, and human errors on Eversource’s part. In its 2025 default service docket (DE 25-017), the company proposed recovering $4.012 million of the original amount from their residential and small business customers on utility default service. The PUC ended up approving recovery of only $1.483 million and denied the remainder - $2.529 million, though that outcome remains uncertain pending an OCA rehearing request, with a hearing scheduled for April 16. The full extent of any under-collection from the current period (August 2025-July 2026) will not be known until the company’s next rate filing for the August – January period, expected no later than June. How are policy makers responding to the proxy rate question? HB 1733 establishes clearer guardrails around how electric utilities procure default service and how any under- or over-collections are recovered (i.e., when rates do not reflect the cost of supply). The legislation ensures that costs associated with utility default service are borne only by the customers receiving that service. The bill also requires utilities to return to use of fixed-price contracts and cease spot market purchases for residential and small commercial customers. HB1733 passed the NH House with a unanimous ought-to-pass recommendation from the Science, Technology, and Energy Committee and will move into consideration by the Senate. What are utility “proxy rates” for energy supply? Utilities now set “proxy rates” for energy supply by estimating what the spot market will cost over the coming rate period. Spot market purchasing can create volatility and potential financial losses when rates underestimate costs. Conversely, when market prices are lower than projects, spot market procurements can yield savings and efficiencies for customers. This highlights that the risks and benefits of this approach can cut both ways, though the potential for price spikes and under-recovery often presents greater exposure[DD1] [DD2] . If those losses are excluded from default service supply rates, deferred to the future, or moved into distribution charges paid by all customers, The utility default service supply rate may not fully reflect the true cost of service. That can distort competitive comparisons in the market. How has utility default supply changed in recent years? Starting in 2024, regulators directed utilities (Eversource, Liberty Utilities, Unitil) to transition to buying increasing amounts of energy directly from the ISO New England spot market as opposed to the traditional practice of securing fixed-price contracts. Who does DASI affect? DASI affects all suppliers and ultimately all customers in the New England market. In March, Governor Kelly Ayotte called on ISO New England to address this significant cost overrun (see WMUR coverage ). Suppliers, Community Power providers, and utilities across the region have been reacting and notifying customers of associated rate increases (see here and here ). Is DASI driving up electricity costs in New England? During its first eleven months, DASI added about $921 million in cost to New England’s electricity, representing roughly 9% of total wholesale energy and ancillary service costs, equivalent to about $8.58/MWh of load served. This is significantly higher than ISO New England’s original estimate of roughly $140 million. What is DASI? The Day-Ahead Ancillary Services Initiative (DASI) is a new ISO New England ancillary market that launched in March 2025. DASI allows the grid operator to secure reliability services one day in advance instead of only reacting in real time with the intent of improving reliability and resilience. What happens if there are not enough subscribers for the project? If CPCNH cannot initially find enough group members to fully subscribe to the project's annual output, then CPCNH will not move forward with the project. If CPCNH is able to fully subscribe the project initially but then one or more group members desire to leave the group at some point during the operational phase, then those departing group members are required to provide 12 months' notice of their impending departure (or otherwise pay an early termination fee that is roughly equivalent to one full year of their group net metering credits). This 12-month window will provide CPCNH with time to find replacement group members. If CPCNH is unable to find sufficient replacement group members, then it is possible that a portion of the project's annual generation will be unsubscribed. Any unsubscribed portion of the project's annual generation will be compensated by the local distribution utility at its "avoided cost" rate, which is less than its default supply rate (to which the net metering credit is pegged). In a worst-case scenario, where CPCNH fully subscribes the project initially but then a significant number of group members depart and CPCNH is unable to find sufficient replacement group members, CPCNH has the right to terminate the group net metering arrangement with 90 days' notice and treat the project as a pure Load Reducer or instead ask the project owner to register the project with ISO-NE as a generator. Either of those two alternatives—pure Load Reducer or registered ISO-NE generator—will provide value to CPCNH (exactly how much value depends on timing and the then-current regulatory and market landscape). Are there any tradeoffs for group members to consider? Substantial reductions to a group member’s energy usage (e.g., from installing on-site generation or implementing deep energy efficiency retrofits) may affect the Poverty Plains group, as the project must balance group members’ usage with power production. A group member may exit the Poverty Plains group with 12 months' notice. What is the value to the “group members” from participating? Participating group members will receive electric bill credits equal to 12.5% of the Eversource supply rate (i.e., net metering credit). For example, if the Eversource supply rate is 10 cents/kWh, then group member accounts would be compensated as shown in this illustrative table: Illustrative Compensation for Group Members @ 12.5% of a 10 cent/kWh Eversource supply rate (net metering credit) Example Account / Group Member Size Annual Usage (kWh) Value Small Account (e.g., small town office) Medium Account (e.g., municipal complex) 10,000 $125 Large Account (e.g., wastewater treatment facility) 100,000 $1,250 1,000,000 $12,500 Do “group members” buy electricity from Poverty Plains? No, subscribed accounts can both participate in Poverty Plains as group members and continue to purchase their electricity supply from Community Power, their utility, or another third-party option. Poverty Plains allows the group members to support the development of a new community solar project in New Hampshire. Who is the group administrator? CPCNH is the group administrator. For Poverty Plains to proceed under Group Net Metering, CPCNH must develop and maintain a group of accounts with a usage roughly equivalent to the project's power output. Who can be a “group member” of Poverty Plains? What is their commitment? Qualifying public accounts—such as municipal office buildings, wastewater treatment plants, county courthouses and correctional facilities, school districts (SAUs), etc.—are eligible to participate in Poverty Plains as group members, as long as they are located in Eversource service territory. There is no cost to subscribe as a group member, and the commitment is effectively 12 months (see below). What, if any, is the financial risk to CPCNH? CPCNH currently pays ~$41/REC. CPCNH Monte Carlo analysis suggests that in a conservative future scenario, the expected P95 (near-worst case) price for Poverty Plains RECs would be ~$41/REC on average. Within that same conservative scenario, a morelikely P50 outcome yields a price of $34/REC on average, and hence savings relative to current market prices. The quantity of RECs generated by Poverty Plains would have amounted to ~6% of CPCNH’s Class I REC obligations in 2024. Are CPCNH Members obligated for the full 20-year PPA term? No. Under the Cost Sharing Agreement, a CPCNH Member has a capped obligation to participate with CPCNH of no more than 36 months from their notice to exit, with avenues for early termination within that timeframe. The RECs that CPCNH purchases from Poverty Plains are allocated to cover a proportional share of the needs of CPCNH’s active Member Community Power Aggregations. Is this a “Project Contract” under the Joint Powers Agreement or part of the “Complete Service Bundle” under the Cost Sharing Agreement? Poverty Plains falls within the Complete Service Bundle of CPCNH’s Cost Sharing Agreement. It is not designed to be apportioned to Members via “Project Contracts” under CPCNH Joint Powers Agreement Article X. How is the Power Purchase Agreement structured? If approved and executed, the PPA will require CPCNH to pay a fixed price for 20 years in exchange for all of the products generated by Poverty Plains over that period (e.g., any and all energy, RECs, capacity, etc.). By structuring the project’s output as a Group Net Metering arrangement, subscribers (i.e., group members) will get significant bill discounts and CPCNH will recoup much of the PPA price, with the net effect being that CPCNH will end up paying a competitive price for Poverty Plains’ RECs. The contract has the flexibility to accommodate potential future changes to state law and regulation. For example, changes in state policy could someday enable CPCNH to realize the full value of distributed generation from Load Reducers (e.g., the value of avoided wholesale energy and capacity costs, avoided transmission costs, etc.). In this event, CPCNH could elect to convert the project from “Group Net Metering” to “Load Reducer” in order to realize those greater benefits on behalf of its Members. The PPA and its Group Net Metering Rider are structured to enable the developer to earn the total price needed to develop the project through a combination of (1) an 87.5% share of the Eversource supply rate (net metering credit) + (2) the sale of RECs to CPCNH. Meanwhile, participating group members earn bill credits equal to 12.5% of the Eversource supply rate. What is the value to CPCNH of participating? Poverty Plains is an opportunity for CPCNH to support the deployment of a new local renewable energy generator in New Hampshire – an objective shared by many of our Member communities. The project will provide CPCNH with competitively priced Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to support our Renewable Portfolio Standard compliance obligations and our voluntary energy products (Grante Plus, Clean 50, and Clean 100). In addition, municipal and other public accounts of CPCNH Members can realize value in the form of bill credits or payments by subscribing their load to the project via New Hampshire’s Group Net Metering program. What is Poverty Plains? Poverty Plains is a shovel-ready 4.999-MegaWattAC photovoltaic generation project located on a near-ideal site in Warner, NH. The project is expected to commence operations in mid-2026. Poverty Plains expects to generate 8,800,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar power in year one – i.e., less than 1% of CPCNH’s projected 2025 load. How can I get involved with advancing policy reforms? The Coalition represents your community’s interests before state policymakers and regulatory agencies, including the Public Utilities Commission (a quasi-judicial board that supervises Eversource, Liberty Utilities, and Unitil Corporation). Our ability to advance reforms to energy policy depends on your support. Over the last several years, communities in the Coalition have worked to achieve important victories at the Legislature and Public Utilities Commission, including to implement Community Power, enable customer battery storage systems, create a statewide electricity and natural gas data platform for customers, extend net metering credits for low and moderate income customers, and authorize pilot programs to compensate local renewables and battery storage systems for the financial benefits they create using market-based mechanisms. The Coalition is a community-governed power agency that can facilitate new local projects on behalf of Community Power programs. We estimate that building new community-scale renewables and battery storage systems in New Hampshire costs up to ~30% less than continuing to purchase and import power from the New England regional electricity market. Doing so would also enhance community energy resilience and invest money back into NH communities instead of continuing to pay so much for imported power. Unlocking this opportunity to lower electricity rates requires the political will to put in place new market mechanisms that appropriately compensate local projects for the benefits they create for our customers and communities. The Coalition has been successful in advancing public policy reforms because of the widespread support of volunteers and interested members of the public at the community level across the state. If you would like to learn more — and sign up to receive the Coalition’s ‘Action Alerts’ to join our campaigns to advance energy reforms — you can go to www.cpcnh.org and click on the “Action Alerts” button at the bottom of the page. This will bring you to the sign-up form, along with additional links to read more about the Coalition’s public advocacy victories. Will I still be able to use the Budget Billing option I have been using with my electric distribution utility? Yes, however, when you join Community Power, your budget billing program may reset. In the event of your budget billing resetting, if you have an outstanding balance with your utility, it would come due. If you have an outstanding credit with your utility, you would receive that credit. How does Community Power comply with New Hampshire's Renewable Portfolio Standard? And what are customers buying when they choose to opt-up to Granite Plus, Clean 50 or Clean 100? To meet state law, and to verify the increased renewable content for customers who "opt-up" the Coalition purchases Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). New Hampshire’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires all electricity providers to acquire specific percentages of RECs sourced from five different categories of renewable resources: Class I (new renewable resources), Class I thermal (useful thermal energy), Class II (new solar), Class III (existing biomass / methane), and Class IV (existing small hydroelectric). One REC represents the renewable attributes of one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity, or the equivalent amount of useful thermal energy generated, and each REC is issued and tracked through the New England Power Pool Generation Information System (NEPOOL GIS). Electricity providers are required to submit annual reports (by July 1st) demonstrating that they’ve secured the legally required number of RECs for the prior year reporting period and make alternative compliance payments for any RPS component for which RECs are not secured and retired. For 2023 the minimum renewable requirement will be equivalent to 23.4% of customer electricity consumption, as reported by the distribution utilities. Refer to the NH Department of Energy’s website for additional information regarding RPS compliance requirements (online here ), and to the Coalition’s RPS overview page (online here ). Pursuant to the Coalition’s Retail Rates Policy (online here , listed under our “Key Documents”), opt-up products offered by Community Power programs may provide either (1) additional NH RPS compliant RECs, with a preference for sourcing in-state generation, or (2) carbon-free generation, which is also tracked and reported by NEPOOL GIS, to cover the following percentages of customer electricity usage: Granite Plus (33%), Clean 50 (50%), and Clean 100 (100%). For example, when a customer elects Clean 100, the Coalition would need to purchase RECs for complying with NH’s RPS standard, to cover 23.4% of the customer’s total electricity consumption for the year, and then the remaining 76.6% would be covered either by sourcing carbon-free power from specific generators (such as large hydro that doesn’t produce RECs) or by acquiring additional NH RPS compliant RECs, or a combination of the two. During the initial period of operations starting in 2023 the Coalition procures NH RPS-compliant RECs for any customer that has elected Granite Plus, Clean 50, or Clean 100 products. In the future, we may procure carbon-free power by contracting directly with clean energy generators. These arrangements will be documented in our Environmental Disclosure Labels. As the Coalition launches Community Power programs, and as customers make their product elections (for example, by selecting Clean 50 or Clean 100), the amount of renewable power that all customers are choosing to purchase will become known and the Coalition will purchase RECs through competitive solicitations — overseen by the Coalition’s Risk Management Committee — to satisfy the combined RPS and voluntary purchase obligations elected by customers taking service from Community Power programs. The Coalition’s Retail Rates Policy and products offered to customers are subject to change, and evolution, over time. For example, our policy provides that Community Power programs that have begun developing new projects in New Hampshire may offer the electricity generated for sale to customers under a “Local Power” product — and we are engaging at the Legislature to advance legislation supportive of local project development: During the current legislative session, the Coalition has been supporting legislation that would enable Community Power programs to contract for new local projects, which we estimate would lower electricity supply costs by 30%, on average, in comparison to continuing to source and pay for the delivery of electricity from the regional wholesale market. If you would like to stay informed, and/or support our public advocacy efforts on behalf of your community, refer to “How can I get involved with advancing policy reforms?” below. How does Community Power provide lower-cost electricity to customers? The Coalition was incorporated as a Joint Powers Agency to serve as a nonprofit wholesale energy supplier on behalf of Community Power programs. To do so, the Coalition purchases power from the New England regional wholesale electricity market (ISO-NE) and ladders contracts with counterparties over time in ways that support the least-cost provision of all-requirements electricity supply for Community Power customers. Under NH law, Community Power programs also have the option of hiring a broker, and then contracting with an existing for-profit power supplier for a fixed term (which is how Eversource, Unitil Corporation, and Liberty Utilities provide default supply service). The Coalition’s approach is comparable to how the NH Electric Cooperative manages the cost of electricity, which has historically achieved lower rates for customers — and has been endorsed by New Hampshire’s Consumer Advocate (online here ). To oversee and actively manage our power portfolio, the Coalition’s Risk Management Committee convenes regularly to review current and forecasted market conditions that may impact power prices and to evaluate opportunities to adjust our hedged positions (by authorizing new contracts or by liquidating existing positions). The Coalition is also responsible for (1) procuring Renewable Energy Certificates to satisfy New Hampshire's Renewable Portfolio Standard and higher renewable content supply options, (2) collecting revenues and accruing financial reserves to offset future market price increases and provide rate relief for customers, (3) developing energy programs and net metering rates for customers, and (4) facilitating competitive solicitations to contract for the construction of new, cost-effective local energy projects — which will lower our costs while diversifying our power portfolio over time, create local jobs in our communities, and strengthen our energy resilience. For additional information, please refer to our Energy Portfolio Risk Management Policy and Regulations (online here , listed under our “Key Documents”). Both documents have been approved by our Board of Directors and adopted by the governing bodies of each Community Power program prior to launch. Does Community Power offer monthly variable rates? Yes. Subject to certain limitations and considerations imposed by utility billing systems, Community Power offers customers a monthly variable rate if they are on a monthly variable rate provided by their distribution utility prior to being enrolled in Community Power. Customers in the following rate classes are eligible for monthly variable rates: Eversource Class GV customers, Liberty Utilities G1 and G2 Class customers, and Unitil Corporation Domestic and Non-G1 Class customers that are currently on Unitil’s default supply rate. Eversource and Liberty Utilities provide Community Power programs with the data necessary to identify customers who are currently on monthly variable rates. Consequently, these customers are eligible to be automatically enrolled in Community Power monthly variable rates. Unitil Corporation has been unresponsive to our requests to identify which default service Domestic and Non-G1 Class customers are currently on monthly variable rates. Consequently, Domestic and Non-G1 Class customers need to email info@CommunityPowerNH.gov to verify that they’re currently on a monthly variable rate provided by Unitil Corporation. (Absent verification, customers will be enrolled onto our fixed period rates.) We apologize for the inconvenience and are engaging with the Public Utilities Commission to resolve this situation. Community Power monthly variable rates change on the first day of each month. These rate changes are submitted to the customer’s utility each month, so that the utility can calculate customer supply charges to present on monthly bills. Unfortunately, however, Eversource and Unitil Corporation impose limitations on how supply charges are calculated for customers on monthly variable rates: While all three utilities currently “pro-rate” their own default supply rates that vary based on calendar month — such that a customer whose billing cycle begins on May 15th and ends on June 15th would be charged the May rate for usage in May, and the June rate for usage in June — only Liberty Utilities provides the same billing service to Community Power programs. Eversource and Unitil Corporation, in contrast, will calculate customer bills by applying the monthly rate applicable at the start of each customers billing period to all usage within that billing period. Consequently, a customer whose billing cycle begins on May 15th and ends on June 15th would be charged the May rate for all electricity used between May 15th and June 15th. The limitations imposed by Eversource and Unitil Corporation are non-compliant with regulatory rules. Utilities are supposed to provide the same billing services to customers regardless of whether they are served by the utility or a Community Power program. We are engaging with the Public Utilities to bring Eversource and Unitil Corporation into compliance to resolve this issue. Does Community Power offer Time-of-Use rates? Community Power programs can serve 2-part Time of Use customers in Liberty Utilities and Eversource territories. These customers’ current time-of-day rate only varies by time of day for the utility’s distribution charges. They pay a fixed rate for supply from the utility and will continue to pay a fixed rate for supply provided by Community Power programs. While the Coalition is fully capable of offering advanced time-varying supply rate structures for electric vehicle, battery storage, and customers that want electricity rates that vary by time of day — which we very much want to do! — unfortunately, the utilities do not currently provide the data and billing services necessary for Community Power programs to offer these rates to customers. There are two main barriers preventing Community Power programs from fully serving 3-part Time of Use customers: The first issue is that utilities will not allow Community Power programs to provide anything other than a flat, fixed supply for use in calculating customer bills (when the utility performs the calculations and issues the bill on behalf of Community Power programs, as they do for most customers). The second issue is that the utilities will only tell Community Power programs how much electricity Time of Use customers have used over the course of each month and will not tell us how much electricity they’ve used during the 3 different periods of the Time-of-Use rate. Without this data, Community Power programs have no ability to independently offer customers a 3-part Time-of-Use rate and bill the customer directly for their supply charges. Consequently, customers currently on a three-part Time-of-Use rate with a supply charge that varies by time of day will NOT be automatically enrolled in Community Power programs and do not need to opt-out at this time. Customers can still elect to opt-in but would have to accept a fixed rate at this time (a flat rate that does not vary by time of day). It therefore may or may not financially benefit Time of Use customers to take service from Community Power programs. The Coalition recommends that customers assess whether their Community Power program’s fixed rate is a better option for them as compared to their utility’s 3-part Time-of-Use rate before making their decision. If you are a 3-part Time-of-Use customer, please call us at 1-866-603-POWR to discuss your options. Does Community Power serve Net Metering customers? Please view Net Metering FAQs to learn more. How are my Community Power rates set? If your city, town or county program is an active Coalition member, rates are set through Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire, a public non-profit governed by our member cities, towns and counties. The Coalition ensures you’ll have a steady, predictable outlook on your rates. You’ll also have the satisfaction of working with a local provider, governed by local leaders whose interests are aligned with yours. The Coalition sets and adjusts rates with the objective of saving customers money and increasing power options. We offer at least one supply option at a discount relative to your utility supply rate along with cleaner ‘opt up’ choices. Most utility rates are set from February 1 to July 31 and from August 1 to January 31. The Coalition's default rates will change for the next six-month utility rate period. The Coalition’s Board and Committee meetings are open to the public. Customers can always know about rate changes 30 days in advance, and rates are publicly posted on the NH Department of Energy’s website alongside the rates of other electricity supply options. Does Community Power serve customers in the New Hampshire Electric Co-op territory? Yes, however, in some communities, customers in New Hampshire Electric Co-op's territory will NOT be automatically enrolled but may choose to opt-in. If you'd like to discuss your options, please call us at 1-866-603-POWR . Will I continue to receive my Electric Assistance Program (EAP) discount? Yes. Electric Assistance Program discounts continue to be available to Community Power customers. Customers enrolled in Community Power continue to receive their Electric Assistance Program discount. There is no need to reapply. New Electric Assistance Program enrollments and renewals for Community Power customers are processed by local Community Action Agencies . Are Community Power customers still eligible to receive rebates from NHSaves for energy efficiency? Yes. The Public Utilities Commission authorizes Eversource, Liberty, and Unitil to collect fees (called Systems Benefits Charge) from all customers to fund NHSaves energy efficiency incentive programs. NH Electric Co-op, while not regulated by the Public Utilities Commission, similarly funds NHSaves programs. The utilities will continue to collect these fees and Community Power customers will remain eligible for these incentives and services. Visit NHSaves.com to learn more about saving money by saving energy. I buy power from a 3rd party electricity supplier – does this affect me? Customers who already shop for electricity using a third-party provider will not be automatically enrolled into a Community Power program. Unless you choose to enroll, nothing will change for you. If you're interested in signing up for Community Power, please call us at 1-866-603-POWR to discuss your options. (Don’t forget to check with your current provider to determine if there are any early termination fees or penalties for leaving their supply service.) Why is Community Power opt-out instead of opt-in? New Hampshire was the first state in the nation to pass Community Power legislation in 1996. However, our market lay dormant for more than twenty-five years because the original legislation only allowed for opt-in programs. Opt-in programs fail to realize benefits for customers because they are unable to achieve the required economy of scale to effectively lower costs. In 2019 and 2021, leaders from our Coalition worked with the New Hampshire legislature to pass bills to bring our Community Power Act up to date with national best practices, and to allow for opt-out programs. Community Power is voluntary. It is a way to add additional affordable choices for customers that are more aligned with local interests, while maintaining other existing choices such as utility default supply, and third-party options. Customers are free to opt-in and opt-out as they choose. Can I return to Community Power after I opt out? Customers who opt out of Community Power service may return at any time. Five days notice is required in advance of your next monthly billing period and meter read by the utility company. Do I have to participate in Community Power? Can I opt out? You get to decide! Any customer may opt out of their Community Power program without fee or cost. Just call 1-866-603-POWR (during normal business hours), use our self-service portal at CommunityPowerNH.gov, or email us at info@CommunityPowerNH.gov . Customers who have receive an enrollment notice in the mail and do not choose to opt out will be enrolled onto Community Power service at their next scheduled electricity meter reading date. Customers who already shop with a competitive supplier will not be automatically enrolled, but may choose to opt-in. Can I switch between the Granite Basic, Granite Plus, Clean 50 and Clean 100 power options? Yes, you can move between Granite Basic, Granite Plus, Clean 50 or Clean 100 at any time. And if you want to switch, just call and let us know or log-on to our website CommunityPowerNH.gov and make the change there. Have your utility account number from Eversource, Liberty, Unitil or NH Electric Cooperative handy so we can easily process your request. Who do I call with questions about my bill? If you ever have questions about Community Power or the electricity supply charges on your bill, email us at Info@CommunityPowerNH.gov or call us at 1-866-603-POWR. Please note, it is important that you dial 866, and not some other prefix like 800, 888, etc. Unfortunately, there can be scams that are associated with other prefixes. Our customer service representatives will never ask for a credit card number or need any payment from you. If you have questions about the rest of your utility bill, please contact your utility directly at: Eversource Liberty Utilities NH Electric Cooperative Unitil I'm a Liberty Utilities customer and I'm having trouble finding my account number. Can you help? Liberty Utilities implemented a new billing system recently. Consequently, all customers have been assigned different account numbers. You will need your new account number to opt-out or opt-in to Community Power service, or to opt-up to choose a different product. Apparently, a significant number of customers have not been told what their new Liberty account numbers are. Note that your old account number was a 16-digit string of numbers separated by a dash in the middle (for example, “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 — 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8”), whereas your new account number will be a 12-digit string of numbers without any dashes. Please contact Liberty Utilities directly to obtain your new account number. Does Community Power replace my current utility company? No. Your utility company (Eversource, Liberty, Unitil, or NH Electric Co-op) continues to provide all electric delivery, consolidated billing, and power line maintenance services. Community Power only replaces the electric generation and supply services with your choice of energy product at competitive rates. How is Community Power funded? Are taxpayer funds used? Community Power is financed by the revenues received from our customers based on the electricity they consume. Community Power programs are self-funded and provide electricity supply and customer services without using any tax dollars, which ensures that any financial benefits directly serve the community. What is the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire? Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire, also known as “the Coalition,” is a public power agency, created by New Hampshire cities and towns as a non-profit on October 1, 2021. The Coalition is governed by a Board of Directors of elected officials, staff, and volunteers appointed by each of our local municipal and county members. The Coalition provides comprehensive services to launch and operate Community Power programs. Visit www.communitypowernh.gov to learn more. Why adopt Community Power? The New Hampshire Legislature found that allowing municipalities and counties the local control to aggregate retail electric customers for the purpose of accessing competitive markets for supplies of electricity and related energy services was beneficial for lowering costs and creating cost effective and innovative energy solutions with careful consideration of local conditions and opportunities. Community Power creates more choices for customers, the collective buying power to drive down cost, and the local control to allow New Hampshire communities to chart their own energy futures. What is Community Power? New Hampshire cities and towns that adopt Community Power by their local legislative body (e.g., Town Meeting or City/Town Council) can establish their own locally controlled electricity provider. Community Power provides the actual energy known as generation or energy supply, and replaces the energy supply charge from your utility company (Eversource, Unitil Corporation, Liberty Utilities, or New Hampshire Electric Co-op). The utility will continue to charge you for their transmission and delivery service. Community Power is enabled by New Hampshire RSA 53-E . Up

- Environmental Disclosure | CPCNH – Community Power NH
View CPCNH’s Environmental Disclosure showing renewable content and emissions for each electricity product. Updated annually. Environmental Disclosure Label 01/01/2025-12/31/2025 As part of our commitment to transparency and sustainability, CPCNH publishes an annual Environmental Disclosure Label. This page presents an overview of energy sources and environmental impacts—such as carbon emissions—associated with each CPCNH electricity product. It helps customers make informed, responsible decisions about their electricity supply. Interactive Table Interactive Graphs PDF Version of Environmental Disclosure Label Electric providers are required by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission to provide customers with an environmental disclosure label with information to evaluate services offered by competitive suppliers and electric utilities, and to provide information about the environmental and public health impacts of electric generation. Further information can be obtained by calling your electric utility or competitive electric supplier or by contacting the Public Utilities Commission . Additional information on disclosure labels is also available at https://www.puc.nh.gov or on your electric provider’s website. The electricity you consume comes from the New England power grid, which receives power from a variety of power plants and transmits the power as needed to meet the requirements of all customers in New England. When you choose a power supplier, that supplier is responsible for generating and purchasing power that is added to the power grid in an amount equivalent to your electricity use. “Known Resources” include resources that are owned by, or under contract to, the supplier. “System Power” represents power purchased in the regional electricity market. Electric suppliers are required to obtain a certain amount of renewable energy in accordance with RSA 362-F, the state’s renewable portfolio standard (RPS) law. They may also choose to obtain amounts of renewable energy above their legal obligation. The table below shows the total content (including “Known Resources” represented by renewable energy certificate (REC) purchases and “System Power” for the balance of product) and associated environmental characteristics of all four electricity products offered by CPCNH in 2025. For comparison, the table also shows the New England Power Pool’s average “System Mix” (i.e., the mix of all generation resources in New England) and “Residual Mix” (i.e., what remained of the “System Mix” after accounting for RECs used to meet RPS requirements and supply voluntary renewable purchases across New England) in 2025. The “Residual Mix”—not the “System Mix”—is what supplies “System Power” purchases. *The RPS for 2025 was set at 22.2%. Due to the unavailability of certain RECs in the market, CPCNH offset Granite Basic RECs via an Alternative Compliance Payment. graphs CPCNH Electricity Product Mix New England Power Pool Product Mix CPCNH Electricity Product Mix New England Power Pool Product Mix
