Electric Supplier Options
What is a competitive supplier or third-party supplier?
A competitive supplier is a company licensed by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (NHPUC) to sell electric supply products to electricity consumers. Eversource customers have the option to choose a different supplier, so what does that mean?
Your Eversource electricity bill is broken into two categories:
Delivery: The cost of bringing energy to your home or business and maintaining a safe and reliable system. If your home is in Eversource territory, we will always provide this service. See electric delivery rates.
Supply: The cost of electricity itself. Your supplier purchases energy from a pool of producers. That can be Eversource, or you have the option to pick a competitive supplier. See electric supply rates.
What to Know About Switching Electric Suppliers
Your electricity bill will come from Eversource, but the amount you pay for your supply charge, as well as where the electricity you use is generated, can be changed by choosing to purchase your power from a competitive supplier. View your current supplier.
What to ask a potential supplier
- Is the chosen supplier licensed in my state?
- What is the length of the contract I'm entering?
- Will my rate of supply change over time, or stay the same?
- Are there early termination fees?
- What if I move or discontinue service in the region?
- Can I switch again to a different supplier?
What to avoid
- Eversource does not call or solicit door-to-door on behalf of any competitive energy supplier. Customers are urged to always decline any door-to-door offers or requests to discuss energy rates from someone claiming to be an Eversource employee.
- Never provide personal or financial information to anyone, in person, on the phone, or online, without verifying their credentials even if the individual seems legitimate or knows basic account information.
- All Eversource employees carry company-issued identification, and any contractors working with us carry documentation explaining the nature and location of their work.
Has a supplier solicited you?
