Eversource's delivery rate slightly reduced for early 2026

MANCHESTER — As the new year approaches, Eversource is informing customers that they can expect to see lower costs on their electric bill during the first months of 2026. The energy company recently filed multiple rate adjustments, including energy supply, that will take effect early next year, leading to a slight overall decrease for customers if approved by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission.

“Customers will see the delivery side of their bill go down in January and February, and the supply portion of the bill, which is typically the largest and most volatile due to market forces, is fortunately remaining stable with costs similar to what we saw earlier this year,” said Eversource Executive Vice President of Customer Experience and Energy Strategy Penni Conner. “Even though bills will be slightly decreasing, usage can increase during the colder months as we all spend more time indoors using appliances and lighting for longer periods, so we want to remind customers of the payment plans, assistance programs and energy efficiency measures available that can help them manage energy usage and costs.”
