Natural Gas Competition

New Hampshire has restructured its natural gas industry to allow commercial and industrial (C&I) end-users in the state to choose between purchasing gas supply directly from third party suppliers (deregulated) or purchasing gas supply from the utility and using their local gas utility for “transportation” or delivery service only (regulated). In 1993, the Commission approved transportation-only rates, requiring daily metering. In 2001, the Commission approved non-daily-metered delivery service to C&I customers, providing the opportunity for both large and small C&I customers to choose bundled or unbundled service.

Due to the limited number of gas marketers serving New Hampshire and the failure of residential gas choice programs in other states to provide savings to residential customers, the Commission decided not to move forward with residential choice programs until after evaluating the results of the expanded C&I program and new choice initiatives being offered in other jurisdictions. Residential customers still purchase both gas commodity and delivery service from their local gas utility.

Natural gas suppliers and aggregators are required to file with the Commission for authority to operate in New Hampshire. The following suppliers and aggregators are licensed to market natural gas in the state:
