Community power is the NH way
I believe that New Hampshire municipalities should be free to choose where they purchase their electricity. Right now, every municipality in the state is essentially limited to purchasing electricity from a public utility monopoly.
RSA 53-E, signed into law by Gov. Chris Sununu, makes it possible for New Hampshire towns to aggregate their residential, municipal and business accounts, thereby creating a new buying entity with greater purchasing power and granting them access to a wide range of energy suppliers.
The Environmental Protection Agency states that community choice is “an attractive option for communities that want more local control over their electricity sources, more green power than is offered by the default utility, and/or lower electricity prices.”
