Using our collective power to lower costs and

gain control of where our energy comes from.

In 2022, the Nashua Board of Aldermen adopted the Nashua 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

Nashua Community Power combines the buying power of residents and businesses so that together we can achieve competitively priced electricity. Customers are always free to choose to buy power from Eversource, 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.

Source

Nashua Community Power purchases electricity from the sources you choose.

Delivery

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

Community

Nashua 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.

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

Note that variable rates shown for Eversource are charged by the utility based on the amount of electricity you use within each calendar month, whereas variable rates for Community Power are charged starting on the date within each month when Eversource reads your electricity meter.

For example, you would be charged the Community Power rate shown for “July” for usage during the period between when Eversource reads your meter in July until the utility closes your billing cycle by reading your meter again about one month later. Refer to our FAQs for more details.
