PSNH Mass Market Default Service Rate to Rise 25%
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Public Service of New Hampshire (Eversource) has filed proposed default Energy Service (ES) rates for the period
August 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026.
For the Small customer group, the proposed fixed default Energy Service rate would be $0.11196 per kWh effective
August 1, 2025, representing a 25.4% increase over the current ES rate of $0.08929 per kWh.
While PSNH filed rates based on its procurements and proxy prices for the period August 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026, with the small customer rate typically fixed for the entire 6-month period, PSNH noted that a re-allocation of deferred default service costs, from large customers to small customers, remains pending at the PUC. Such potential re-allocation is not reflected in the proposed August 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026 rates listed in this story, as the PUC will further consider the deferred balance
PSNH said, "Consistent with the Commission’s directives in Order No. 28,147 (May 13, 2025) issued in Docket No. DE 24-112, Eversource plans to submit a filing later that proposes a re-allocation of the deferred approximately $6.5 million ES Large customer group reconciliation balance, as contemplated by Eversource’s rebuttal testimony filed in that other docket. The enclosed filing does not include that proposed re-allocation for effect on August 1, 2025, in view of the Commission’s expressed intention to schedule further adjudication regarding the deferred balance re-allocation beginning in July 2025."
For the Large customer group, the proposed monthly ES rates would be as follows:
PSNH reported that approximately 55% of residential customers, 17% of
commercial customers, and under 5% of industrial customers currently take default service
