Public Service Company of New Hampshire has proposed removing the "selection" charge, or switching fee, from its tariff after conducting a cost of service study.

"PSNH found during the course of conducting the cost of service study that there are no incremental costs associated with customers switching from default service to a supplier, or from supplier to supplier electronically through EDI. Because there are no incremental costs associated, PSNH is proposing to remove the Selection Charge from its Tariff," PSNH told the PUC.

The switching fee had been $5, though temporarily reduced to $0.15 pending PSNH's study.

PSNH is requesting to continue to bill a $5 per customer charge when a supplier defaults and accounts must be transitioned to default service

Furthermore, PSNH proposes to reduce the Billing and Payment Service charge to $0.07 per bill rendered based on the cost of service study. The charge had initially been $0.50, and temporarily reduced to $0.26.

As the cost of service study was developed, PSNH found that taking into consideration only the incremental costs associated with supplier services, collections would not meet the requirements of the cost of service study, and thus PSNH is proposing to remove the Collection Services Charge from its tariff.

The Collection Service Charge had been 0.252% of total monthly bill receivables

Docket DE 12-295
