New Hampshire commercial electricity averaged about 20.55¢/kWh in April 2026 (EIA) — roughly 52% above the U.S. average of 13.51¢. New Hampshire has an active electricity choice market, and with rates this elevated, shopping competitive supply is a meaningful cost lever.

Why New Hampshire Rates Are High
New Hampshire sits in ISO New England (ISO-NE), where winter natural gas pipeline constraints elevate wholesale power prices across the region. Limited in-region generation and transmission costs add to the total. The good news: NH's competitive market lets businesses lock fixed rates that insulate against the region's sharp seasonal swings. See why prices vary by region and the New Hampshire commercial energy deregulation guide.
How New Hampshire Energy Choice Works
Your utility delivers electricity and handles outages; you choose a competitive supplier for the supply portion. If you don't shop, you're served by Default Service, a utility default supply rate that resets periodically and can move sharply with the market. A competitive fixed rate provides budget certainty.
