Hey Bluesky!
If anybody here gives a hoot about NH continuing to make progress on decarbonization, consider supporting CENH today!
We're the only outfit that is doing real things, in my humble opinion.

We do need to think seriously about what new "clean firm" resources we can build, but the truth is that any new generation is likely to increase our bills. At every juncture, doing more with what we have now is the economically optimal move. www.linkedin.com/posts/philip...

And in 2025, building ANYTHING new is expensive, where as there remains an enormous amount of low-hanging efficiency measures that haven't been pursued in Quebec, because their rates are so low as to make the payback for the consumer difficult to justify. www.theenergymix.com/hydro%E2%80%...

Bravo, @hydroquebec.com! I've been observing this company's moves for over a decade now and I've been waiting for this particular move for that entire time.

This data is a preview of a report we commissioned with Ski New Hampshire that is yet to be released... sneak peak!
The impact of falling behind in EV infrastructure is likely to be more than a billion dollars in lost revenue to our tourism economy w/ North Country hardest hit.

Sure, other states will adopt EVs faster than NH, but we are not on an island! Those states send huge numbers of tourists to NH!

New Hampshire is dead last in New England for number of public charging stations. DFL.
For a small state, that is surrounded by states that will be first-movers on EV adoption this is a big problem. 3 million EVs expected to be on the road by 2033, New England wide!

The coming resource adequacy problem, witha glut of variable renewables, is a huge issue in search of a solution.
The coming surge of EV sales, without managed charging, is a problem in of itself!
It's a match made in heaven!

However, the PUC failed to address the central problem in the NEM program currently: certainty.
As it stands, NEM simply ENDS in 2040. What comes after? No one knows. This is a MASSIVE problem if you're trying to get a loan to build a something.
The PUC, confronted with that evidence said: "meh"

"What is the status quo?" you ask.
Well it's not full 1:1 net metering: we did away with that back in 2017. For large "community" scale renewables, it's just the default service rate.

Folks, my first "breaking news" blue sky post!
Today the NH PUC issued an order in the latest net metering docket in the Granite State. The order did.... nothing. It kept the status quo in place.

Yikes.
NH policymakers should really be asking how it is that our electricity rates are rising so fast if "it's because of renewables"?
Cuz the only state in New England that kept energy rate increases below CPU was ... Vermont.
