New Hampshire State Public Benefit Funds for Energy Efficiency

A 3.0 mills per kWh system benefits charge (SBC) paid by all electric customers is divided between energy assistance (1.2 mills) and energy efficiency programs (1.8 mills). The latter amount funds New Hampshire’s low-income energy efficiency program, called the Home Energy Assistance Program. It receives about $2 million annually through the SBC. Eligible households can receive up to $4,000 in energy efficiency measures and program services.
