Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

New limits on electric bill adjustments

New Hampshire utilities must correct competitive-market supply overpayments or underpayments only through future default-service rates, their basic electricity supply rates. These corrections can raise or lower bills for customers using default service. Utilities cannot collect these adjustments through fees that customers must pay even after switching suppliers. The Public Utilities Commission can approve other ways to provide transition or default service when they serve the public interest. Those options must minimize customer risk, limit price swings, avoid undue harm to competitive markets, and create no new deferred costs. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
