New Hampshire went through a state-wide restructuring of its utilities in 1996. The Public Utilities Commission deregulated the state and established the electric choice program.

Deregulation drives competition among suppliers by giving consumers the freedom to choose their supplier. This keeps the cost of energy down and removes the monopolies that come with a regulated market.

Energy market prices change daily, just like the stock market. From economic shifts to weather events and basic supply/demand changes, the rates can change from one day to the next. These shifts can be in your favor as a consumer because you can review your supply costs and pursue the lowest rate on the market. No matter if your commercial agreement expires next month or two years from now, you can lock in a future start date and take advantage of the current market.
