HB 1617 New Hampshire House · 2024 Regular Session

relative to energy procurement agreements for default service.

This bill outlines how the state commission should manage energy procurement agreements for customers who do not choose their own electricity supplier. It requires the commission to oversee contracts between utilities and energy providers, ensuring a mix of short, medium, and long-term agreements to balance stable retail prices with wholesale market costs. The legislation also mandates that costs related to renewable energy standards and the administration of default service be paid by these customers, while allowing the commission to take steps to prevent misuse of the default service option.
