directing the department of energy to study the portion of electric distribution costs attributable to fixed versus usage-based charges.

HB 1475 requires New Hampshire's Department of Energy to study how electricity distribution costs are split between fixed fees (charged to all customers regardless of usage) and usage-based fees (based on kilowatt-hour consumption). The study must examine specific cost categories like storm recovery, infrastructure replacement (e.g., poles), and capacity upgrades tied to demand. The Department must report findings and recommendations to the legislature and governor by November 2026, with costs recovered through existing utility assessments that would have minimal impact on individual customer bills.
