Just in time for maple sugaring! There’s over 200 sugarhouses in NH and they should all be boiling. Drop in for a demonstration. Go home with maple syrup and sugar candy.

Choose the darker syrup for more punch.

The 1.5oz maple leaf shaped candy are perfection. Consume as single serving (may contain diabetes).

Delivery etc. are still provided by Eversource at their standard rate.

I think Direct Energy puts you directly into one of the contracts they bought, so if they buy from a supplier for XX years at a certain price then they sign up as many customers as the numbers allow for that price and term. They’ll find you a new contract when that one ends if you haven’t switched yourself already. Any leftovers they sell to Eversource.

Still no penalties for switching mostly I think because no one has been switching so Eversource still has near 90% of the customers by default. If the freedom ever starts costing them money then maybe there will be fees.

Ultimately, you get to pay less for the exact same 60Hz performance you’ve been enjoying. Nothing changes but your cost.

But also, your electricity producers are incentivized to produce power less expensively while also creating more overall profit through a free market system.

The cons: Only the people willing to shop around get to pay a lower rate.

Almost every town has a unique noise ordinance. It’s a zoning or planning issue. Talk to your Town Clerk to file a complaint. Town can then arrange for inspections and hearings.

NH is deregulated. You can buy your power from many supply exchanges. The smaller they are the cheaper they tend to be because they can grab contracts for tiny amounts of supply that cost near nothing. Contracts EVERSOURCE would never touch because they have millions of customers not hundreds.

Still, over 85% of EVERSOURCE customers don’t bother shopping around and just pay them what they ask.
