Electric Assistance Program (EAP)
The statewide Electric Assistance Program
(EAP) provides qualifying customers with a discount
on their monthly electric bill. The New Hampshire Legislature
authorized funding for this statewide program as part
of electric utility deregulation. All electric utility
ratepayers support the statewide EAP through the System
Benefits Charge (SBC) portion of their electric
bill. The utilities are working with six Community
Action Agencies (CAAs) located throughout the state
to identify and enroll eligible customers for the statewide
EAP.
The discount is based on the gross household income and the household size. Eligibility for the program is also determined by gross household income and household size.
