HB1775

Relative to utility ownership of natural gas and nuclear power generation facilities.

Final Passage·7/6/26

New Hampshire HB1775 allows electric utilities to invest in natural gas and nuclear power generation facilities, with certain limitations.

New Hampshire HB1775 amends existing law to allow electric public utilities to invest in or own natural gas or nuclear energy resources. These resources can be whole generation units or part of a generation unit, interconnected to the local electric distribution system. The bill specifies that no individual generation unit may exceed 5 megawatts in size. The Public Utilities Commission must determine that the utility's investment and its recovery in rates are in the public interest, considering various factors.
