How It Works
Swanzey Community Power is a municipal electricity aggregation operated by the Town of Swanzey, and authorized by NH RSA 53-E.
There are two parts to your Eversource electricity bill, Supply and Delivery.
If you participate in Swanzey Community Power, your Eversource bill will be impacted as follows:
- The Supplier portion of the bill will change to reflect your participation in Swanzey’s program.
- Eversource will continue to provide all Delivery Services, including responding to power outages, and will continue to send you your electricity bill.
- Customers that receive a discount on their electricity bill through the Electric Assistance Program (EAP) will continue to receive their benefits.
- Budget billing customers will continue to receive budget billing for the Delivery Services portion of the bill.
- Net metering: For Net Energy Metering 1.0 customers (i.e. those systems built before September 1, 2017), joining Swanzey Community Power results in no loss of solar financial benefits. However, due to limitations from Eversource’s billing system, for most Net Energy Metering 2.0 customers (i.e. those systems built September 1, 2017 and later), joining Swanzey Community Power will reduce your solar financial benefits. Please see our FAQ for help determining which Net Energy Metering program you are on, and how NEM 2.0 solar benefits are affected. For further questions, please call the program’s consultant, Good Energy, at (833) 316-5460.
- You may leave the Program, or switch to a different program option, at any time, and without penalty.
