Select Board authorizes conditional Canterbury Community Power default rate tied to CPCNH decision
After extended discussion, the Select Board authorized Canterbury Community Power to adopt Canterbury basic as the default rate if the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire sets its granite basic below utilities; the measure creates a 1–7‑mil sliding adder (up to $3.50/month on a 500 kWh bill) to fund local projects and was approved unanimously.
The full story
The Select Board voted unanimously to authorize Canterbury Community Power to adopt the Canterbury basic rate as the default only if the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire’s granite basic rate, set at its upcoming 06/26/2026 meeting, is below the default utility supply rate. The motion, read into the record by the Chair, lays out an ‘‘if‑then’’ approach so that the town’s default rate will be the community power granite basic plus an adder between 0.1¢ and 0.7¢ (1–7 mils) but will remain below the utility default supply rate.
