Relief for Your Electric Bill
Eversource and the State of NH recognize the significant financial burden of the high cost of energy. To help, the State of NH is providing assistance through two programs administered by the Department of Energy through the Community Action Agencies (CAAs):
- A one-time credit of $450 in heating assistance for households with incomes between 60% and 75% of the state median income.
- A one-time credit of $200 on the electric bills of households with incomes between 60% and 75% of the state median income.
In addition, the state has added funds to support the existing electric assistance program (EAP) for households with incomes below 60% of the state median income.
What you need to know
You must apply to receive the heating assistance and electric bill credit through your local Community Action Agency by April 30, 2023.
We encourage you to carefully manage your energy use, compare energy supply prices, and take advantage of programs to help pay or manage your bill. See programs, tips and tools available to you.
