PLYMOUTH — The New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (Co-op) Board of Directors this week completed the two-month rate-setting process that will result in modest increases in member residential bills for 2025. Starting on Jan. 1, member bills will increase 1.7 percent (for 500 kWh a month) to support reliability and service improvements for electricity distribution to members. On Feb. 1, the new six-month default energy rate, which includes transmission costs, will increase member bills by another 1.6 percent.

The good news for members centers on the Co-op power rate. The new rate of 8.108 cents per kWh is a 6 percent decrease from the current rate, making this the fifth consecutive rate period to see a decline. These rates will be in effect through July 31, 2025.
