Leaving regional grid would raise costs for New Hampshire ratepayers, report finds

A recent study reveals that if New Hampshire decides to leave the New England regional grid, ratepayers could face significantly higher costs. This potential move, which would make New Hampshire fully independent in its electricity supply, stems from a lengthy investigation into its feasibility. The report highlights the financial burden that such a transition would impose on consumers, suggesting a complex decision that balances regional cooperation against potential savings. This issue matters because energy costs directly affect everyday life and the state's economic landscape.
