Informational session on Community Power to be held Monday at City Hall

posted on 9/22/2023

The Community Power Coalition of New Hampshire is now enrolling residents and businesses into the Dover Community Program.

To help inform the public about the program, the City of Dover is hosting an informational session on Monday, Sept. 25, at 6 p.m. in City Hall's Council Conference Room.

This week, informational mailers about the Dover Community Power Program were sent to city residents and businesses.

Residents with the default supplier service from Eversource will be automatically enrolled in the program, which will begin in November. Residents not wanting to enroll must contact Community Power to opt out. The current Community Power default rate is 10.9 cents per kilowatt hour; the default Eversource rate is 12.582 cents per kWh.

Residents utilizing a competitive supplier will not be automatically enrolled; however, these customers may opt-in anytime.

Those who receive the Electric Assistance Program discount will continue to receive these benefits. Those who have elected Budget Billing can remain on it, but the budget will restart when enrolled in Community Power, which may cause a credit or charge. Call 1-866-603-POWR (7697) for more information.

For net-metered customers, please note that Eversource cannot share net-metering export data with Dover Community Power and provide credit for such exported power, so Dover Community Power can’t properly serve most net-metered customers.

The roll-out of the Community Power initiative in Dover is the topic of this week's Dover Download podcast, available here or wherever you get your podcasts.
