Summary

Community Power Coalition NH hired Henry Herndon as executive director and says hedging 100% of purchases helped members avoid high winter spot-market prices; CPCNH expects to remain competitive despite wider utility rate increases.

In its update, the Community Power Coalition NH reported that Henry Herndon was formally hired as executive director after serving in an acting capacity. The coalition said it hedged 100% of its energy purchases, which shielded its members from the high winter spot-market prices that affected other utilities.

CPCNH expects to remain competitive as all utilities prepare to raise rates in the next posting period (announced in June and taking effect in August). The coalition also reported that roughly 600 new accounts are receiving opt-out letters in March, attrition has been minimal with one town (Bow) exiting, and a Unitil net-metering pilot will start using smart meters for improved data access and management.
