General Payment Information for Eversource NH Users

Eversource NH used to be the Public Service of New Hampshire until it merged with other Eversource subsidiaries in the Granite State, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. Currently, Eversource Energy holds Eversource NH, Connecticut Light & Power, Western Massachusetts Electric, Yankee Gas, and NSTAR Electric & Gas.

According to the President of Transmission, Bill Quinlan, and President of NH operations, Joe Purington, Eversource NH operations are set to expand after the installation of new transmission systems and substations.

Eversource NH is an electric distribution company—they’re responsible for delivering your electricity, maintaining power lines, and handling outages. However, all business and residential customers are free to choose who supplies their electricity.

If you don’t choose an energy company, you will get the default supply plan from Eversource NH. The default plan is your ‘Price to Compare,’ and you can use it to compare supply rates and plans offered by other energy suppliers. You can learn more about choosing a supplier here.

The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission regulates and approves the rates offered by Eversource NH. You can learn more about their rates and tariffs here. If you want to learn more about your bill and how it works (such as net metering), you can go here.
