Committee flags risks of removing Kensington from Community Power program
Summary
Committee members heard that CPCNH has completed financial recovery and may offer more competitive rates. A presenter asked the Board of Selectmen to consider withdrawing the town; the Energy Committee cautioned that removal now could limit residents' supply options and recommended updating a resident FAQ.
The Kensington Energy Committee discussed recent presentations about the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire (CPCNH) and a request to the Board of Selectmen to consider withdrawing the town from CPCNH membership.
Committee members noted CPCNH is completing its financial recovery and that representatives said this should enable more competitive rates. At the Aug. 10 BoS meeting, Steve Greenland asked the Board to consider removing the town from CPCNH membership. The committee’s chair expressed concern that "removing the town from CPCNH would prevent residents from obtaining the full range of energy supply options," and urged caution while the BoS reviews submitted documents.
The Board of Selectmen encouraged outreach to residents about rate changes and the opt-out process. Committee member Joni Praded agreed to review and update the FAQ that was mailed to residents when the town first joined CPCNH.
