Liberty Utilities (New Hampshire)'s current default service rate is 15.835¢ per kWh for homes. That's the price you pay for electricity supply if you haven't chosen a supplier, and it's the number any supplier offer has to beat.
I keep this page current from the official published figures, so you can check it before you shop.

What This Means for Your Business
- It changes on Liberty 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. Liberty 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 28.366¢ per kWh; supply is the part you can shop.
- Business accounts have different prices; check your latest bill.
