Again? New Hampshire Electricity Bills Could Increase As of August 1, 2025

Just in time for the high electric bills expected because of the upcoming scorching Summer, this isn't great news.

Are you waiting for your bills to go down?  We have seen everything go up and up and up.  I keep waiting for it to stop, but it's looking like we may have to endure even more inflating electric bills.

Eversource is proposing a rate hike that would cost NH customers about $260 more per year.

The Public Utilities Commission has a proposal in their hands from Eversource, according to WMUR, asking for a rate increase.

Eversource is saying they need the increase for maintenance and repairs of the infrastructure.

Eversource Asking for 17% Increase

Another reason for the ask is the same reason that everyone is raising prices, inflation.

Last year, the Public Utilities Commission approved a "temporary" increase of about $7 per month.  If approved, this increase for the average customer would be about $12 per month.

The PUC will hear testimony today, but it's doubtful that they will reach an agreement, but if they do, rate hikes could take affect as early as August 1, 2025.

We'll Be Happy When the Power Goes Out

You know that sometime this Summer, we will be getting a storm that knocks out our power.  At that time, Eversource will hopefully have the staff and the resources to come out and restore power if they have the resources to do so.
