What's important ⁠this week

The Bradford Energy Committee examined $50 million in utility underbilling tied to PUC-encouraged spot-market purchases, with Unitel seeking recovery at 21 cents per kWh. New Hampshire law limits such shifts, and members argued Community Power participants should remain exempt. ⁠Any move to distribution rates could raise costs for residents.

Members noted Bradford's NextEra contract continues delivering power below 10 cents per kWh through November, well under Eversource defaults near 12 cents. The group stressed legal protections for participants amid the broader utility dispute. ⁠These savings remain a key advantage for local households.

No action was taken, but the committee will track August rate filings and CPCNH proposals as the contract nears its end. ⁠Residents should monitor PUC developments to safeguard current exemptions.
