Keeping true to the State\u2019s motto, \u201cLive Free or Die,\u201d New Hampshire became the first state in the nation to deregulate its energy market. In 1996, the legislature passed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gencourt.state.nh.us\/rsa\/html\/XXXIV\/374-F\/374-F-1.htm\">RSA 374-F<\/a>, a law that required the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission to issue a restructuring plan of all its utilities. The law broke up the monopoly the utilities had over its customers and <a href=\"https:\/\/electricrateselect.com\/energy-choice\/\">energy choice<\/a> was born.<\/p><p>Before energy deregulation, business and residential customers could only go through the local utility company for energy services. The lack of competition gave the utility company a monopoly over the price of power. Thanks to energy choice, customers can now choose between energy suppliers that have to compete with each other to earn new business. The competition between energy suppliers has the effect of lowering prices just as we can expect from a free market system.<\/p><p>Eversource\u2019s residents now have the option between choosing different energy products along with term lengths for their electricity bill as opposed to one default rate from the utility company. Eversource will still deliver the power to its customers as its main responsibility is to maintain the lines and wires or the infrastructure of the utility lines. This means Eversource is responsible for fixing any issues dealing with a power outage. The quality of service will not change nor will there be any disruption in power during the switching period.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b078b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9b078b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\"><span id=\"What_to_Expect_during_and_after_the_Switch_Process\">What to Expect during and after the Switch Process<\/span><\/h2><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#What_to_Expect_during_and_after_the_Switch_Process\">1 What to Expect during and after the Switch Process<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Where_does_New_Hampshire_Generate_its_Power\">2 Where does New Hampshire Generate its Power?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Energy_Consumption_by_Sector\">3 Energy Consumption by Sector<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Energy_Efficiency_Tips_for_your_Home\">4 Energy Efficiency Tips for your Home<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Energy_Efficiency_Tips_for_the_Office\">5 Energy Efficiency Tips for the Office<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Make_the_Smart_Choice_and_Start_Saving_Today\">6 Make the Smart Choice and Start Saving Today<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-448f4ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"448f4ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p>The switching process from Eversource to the chosen energy supplier is seamless. An energy comparison site such as <a href=\"https:\/\/electricrateselect.com\/\">ElectricRateSelect<\/a> will handle all aspects of the switch so you can relax. Once you sign up, Eversource will be notified and the switch will take place on your next available meter read. The meter read date typically falls once every 30 days. This is known as the billing cycle. On average it will take two billing cycles before the new energy supplier will show up on your electric bill.<\/p><p>A few energy suppliers give customers the choice between single and dual billing. Single billing remains the most common method of billing. Since Eversource is responsible for maintaining the lines and wires, the company will continue to charge for delivery costs. The energy supplier will charge for the generation cost or the cost of supplying the energy. With single billing, Eversource will continue to send one bill that incorporates the delivery and supply costs. With dual billing, the customer will receive one electric bill from Eversource for the delivery cost, and one bill from the energy supplier for the supply cost.<\/p><p>Part of the process of choosing a competitive energy supplier is selecting the length of the term. Three of the most common terms include a 12, 24, and 36 months agreement. Once the term expires you will not automatically go back to Eversource. After the initial term, most energy suppliers will put you on a month-to-month variable rate that may sharply increase. To avoid the variable rate, you may cancel your agreement with the energy supplier at the end of the term or simply switch to another supplier. To avoid any cancellation fees, make sure you do not switch to another provider before the term expires.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-079d2db elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"079d2db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\"><span id=\"Where_does_New_Hampshire_Generate_its_Power\">Where does New Hampshire Generate its Power?<\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6872965 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6872965\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p>As you begin to shop for retail energy suppliers you may wonder where your power is being generated.
