Electricity rates to change in August for NH customers
New Hampshire’s utility companies are expected to change their rates for electricity starting on August 1. Energy costs could go up for some and down for others.
The state’s three investor-owned utilities – Eversource, Unitil, and Liberty – are expected to adopt similar rates, roughly 10.5 cents per kilowatt hour. Those are known as “supply” rates, and make up around half of a monthly energy bill.
That rate is largely determined by the price utility companies are paying generators for power and companies don’t profit off of those costs. The supply rate changes twice a year, in August and February.
For Eversource and Liberty customers, the change will be a hike from current rates. Average Eversource customers could pay about $14 more per month, and Liberty customers could pay about $8more each month. Eversource’s rates are not final, with state regulators asking for more information by July 10th.
For Unitil customers, the new rate is lower than the utility’s current rate, a drop of about a dollar per month.
The New Hampshire Electric Cooperative’s rate is about two cents lower than the other utilities, at 8.6 cents per kilowatt hour. That’s down from their current rate, a decrease they say will save customers roughly between $8 and $16 a month.
For customers with the Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire, who now make up more than 15% of active accounts in the state, according to that organization, rates are going up slightly. But their basic rate will be lower than the investor-owned utilities and the same as the Cooperative’s. Their rate for power with 50% renewable content is also lower than the three investor-owned utilities.
Eversource customers will also see an increase on their distribution charge, which represents the cost of delivering electricity. That could be about an extra $9 a month.
In 2025, customers would see an additional increase of about $13.
The company says that increase is due to the costs of more frequent and unpredictable storms, upgrades for reliability, and efforts to strengthen the energy system as it ages and new technology comes online.
A man was killed Monday in an exchange of gunfire with police in Ashland, New Hampshire, authorities said.
The office of New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella said Ashland police stopped a vehicle Monday evening on Main Street. A man in the vehicle, whose name has not been released, allegedly pulled a gun.
Officials said the man shot and wounded one police officer. The man was shot during the confrontation and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The officer is being treated at a hospital for a gunshot injury. No one else was hurt, authorities said.
Formella’s office is investigating the shooting alongside New Hampshire State Police.
The names of the officers involved in the incident will not be shared until interviews are completed, authorities said. The man killed in the shooting will be publicly identified after next of kin are notified and an autopsy is conducted.
No further information was immediately available.
Dover, New Hampshire is finally going to see something go into the old Ames Building, (same plaza as Hannaford) at 833 Central Avenue. It’s not just “something,” it’s a Community space we didn’t know we wanted.
Justin Grondahl is the owner of TRAENE Fitness & Pickleball and he’s opening one here in Dover. He has 63,000 square feet to make beautiful. Justin is the son of the co-founder of Planet Fitness that started right here in Dover, New Hampshire.
Justin spent some time with me here in the Townsquare Studios and told me everything we can expect.
You will not believe what he has in store for this place. It makes me want to move to Dover. (although it’s like my 2nd home – I’m here all. the. time.) Check out what his plans are:
- 10 indoor pickleball courts
- 3,000 Square Foot Classroom for Megaformer Pilates Classes
- 20,000 square feet of just gym equipment
- 2 Cold Plunges
- 3 Saunas, with three floors. Lots of people can fit into them
- Big Locker Rooms
- Red Light Beds
- Massage Chairs
- Massage Beds
- Tanning Booths
TRAENE Recently Added a Peptide Clinic to their Plans
If you are unfamiliar with peptides, they are chains of amino acids that help you heal injuries, build muscles and in some cases, lose weight.
After Justin told me all this, I asked if they will have food and drinks too because it was the only thing I could think of that they didn’t mention! He said, “yes, we’ll have something.”
What’s Up With the Penguin?
When Justin came into the studio, he had a TRAENE branded shirt that included a penguin. When I asked him why a Penguin, he said that it has always been his favorite animal because they are very tied to their Community. They never really leave and they are always together.

Justin is already under construction of TRAENE. He said they should be open in the Fall of 2026.
Another incredible perk of being part of the TRAENE community is they are going to pick between 10 – 15 Members of the Month who are going to get rewards like:
- Renting out a race track
- Limo service to Bruins or Celtics games, whichever the member chooses
These trips will be all paid for, all free, Justin said.
