What This Means for Your Business
- It changes on Eversource NH's schedule, not yours. A fixed price from a licensed supplier locks the number for the term you choose.
- What it's worth: Every 1¢ per kWh a supplier can beat the default price by is worth about $50 a month, or $600 a year, for a business using 5,000 kWh a month.
- It's a benchmark, not a quote. Licensed suppliers price your actual account. Whether an offer beats it depends on your usage, start date, and term.
- Capacity matters for bigger accounts. Eversource NH is in ISO New England, where capacity costs are part of what you pay. Check how any contract handles them.
- All variable charges on a typical residential bill total 25.762¢ per kWh; supply is the part you can shop.
- Business accounts have different prices; check your latest bill.
