Energy Efficiency Programs

New Hampshire’s natural gas utilities offered energy efficiency programs from 1993 through 1999, at which time the programs were suspended in light of gas industry restructuring and investigation of the electric industry’s development of energy efficiency programs.

On January 1, 2003, the natural gas utilities again began offering energy efficiency programs for New Hampshire customers. The programs are designed to increase customer awareness of the benefits of energy efficiency products, services and practices, induce lasting market changes and realize energy efficiency savings that might not occur without the programs. The programs are approved for a three year period and the current programs, running through April 30, 2009, are expected to serve 13,000 customers (13% of total customers) and produce 45 million in therm savings over the life of the program measures. Customers served and projected savings are similar to those experienced over the initial three year programs which ended April 30, 2006.
