Electricity prices in New Hampshire are set to increase starting Aug. 1, bringing higher monthly bills for most households across the state. On average, customers are expected to pay roughly $6 to $18 more per month, depending on which utility serves them.
The change follows approval by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission of new rates requested by the state’s three investor-owned electric utilities. That means the impact will be felt broadly by Granite State customers as updated charges take effect.
For residents, the increase adds to ongoing pressure from household energy costs and may be especially noticeable during periods of heavier electricity use. While the exact amount will vary by utility and customer usage, the overall result is a higher power bill for many homes beginning in August.
The coming rate hike highlights how utility decisions and regulatory approvals can directly affect everyday expenses in New Hampshire. As the new rates begin, customers across the state can expect electricity costs to move higher than they have been in recent months.
