Cash Receipts Policy 20190826.pdf9. Municipal Energy Aggregation Pricing - Request Permission to enter into agreement with NRPC/ Standard Power
Pricing and contract would be finalized this week.
Eversource is a 6.75% increase, approved rates will go into effect on Aug. 1
Default Service rate for residential customers in New Hampshire would change from the current 8.9 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to 11.2 cents per kWh.
Sample pricing:
Goal of the Nashua Region Electricity Supply Aggregation is to purchase electricity as a group from a competitive supplier at a lower rate than each member could receive on its own. By purchasing as an aggregation, municipalities and school districts can offer electricity suppliers a larger demand than if they each tried to purchase electricity individually. The larger demand, in turn, allows suppliers to offer a better rate to the aggregation than it could to individual members.
The Nashua Regional Planning Commission serves as an aggregator to facilitate a bid process among competitive electricity suppliers licensed with the NH Public Utilities Commission. Each aggregation member signs their own contract with the supplier for a fixed electricity supply rate. Rates and contracts are identical for each member within a given electric distribution territory.
History
In 2011, NRPC utilized funding from the Energy Technical Assistance and Planning (ETAP) program to work with 9 towns and 6 school districts to form an aggregation to procure electricity from a competitive supplier. Since that time, the aggregation has completed the following contract rounds:

Mosquito Testing Reports - populations have been quite active due to the high humidity, staying in flight. On a positive note, *Culiseta melanura* have been almost non-existent this season so far, and we hope this trend continues. Culiseta melanura is primarily known for the disease that it has the potential of transmitting, Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEv). The virus has detrimental affects for young children and the elderly, as well as horses and select bird species. In most birds, which are the preferred blood meal, there are no apparent signs or symptoms.
