Accelerating the Energy Transition in New Hampshire's Capital City

In 2024, the Concord City Council adopted the Concord Community Power Plan.

We are now putting that plan to action to create short- and long-term benefits for our energy users.

How Community Power Works

Concord Community Power combines the buying power of residents and businesses so that together we can achieve competitively priced electricity.

  • In Advance of the launch of Concord Community Power, all customers within the City will be mailed a notice containing information about their electricity rates and energy supply choice options.  

  • The City is hosting two public information sessions to answer questions about the program:

    • 6PM on September 4th at Concord Community Center Auditorium, 14 Canterbury Rd, Concord, NH 03301

    • 6PM on September 17th at City Council Chambers, 37 Green St, Concord NH 03301

  • All customers have until September 25th - when Concord Community Power launches! - to consider whether you opt-out, opt-in, or opt-up to choose a cleaner power option:

    • Most customers currently on Unitil or Eversource default supply service do not have to take any action to benefit from our lower electricity rates; unless they choose to opt-out of the program, Concord Community Power will begin serving them on the date that their utility reads their meter on or after October 1, 2024​

    • Select customer groups are not eligible for automatic enrollment (Exceptions to Automatic Enrollment list below) but may choose to opt-in.

  • After the launch of Concord Community Power, customers are always free to choose to buy power from their utility, or from another market option, by submitting notice in advance of their next utility meter read date. 

By accessing the power market, we can control price volatility and choose which energy sources to buy or build.

Delivery

Eversource and Unitil delivers the electricity using the same power line infrastructure and billing mechanisms.

Community

Concord Energy Customers save money and have the power to choose new rates and products, and how much electricity comes from renewable sources.

Electricity markets are changing. Customers are generating their own power and adopting new technologies that add value to our energy portfolio.

Concord Community Power will harness that value, and empower customers to create a more innovative and cost-effective energy future.
