After more rate hike approvals from the Public Utilities Commission and a legislative session that slashed funding for cheap, clean energy and efficiency projects, community members are worried that this uphill price trend will only get worse. 

As elected officials begin to submit bills for the 2026 legislative session, volunteers with 350NH Action launch the first edition of their report card for the 2025 session. Making their stances on the human impacts of the climate crisis clear, legislators almost unanimously voted against the interests of Granite Staters, making New Hampshire a worse place to live, work, and enjoy the outdoors. 

“Governor Ayotte’s appointed Public Utilities Commission chair is more interested in lining the pockets of Eversource’s CEO than protecting ratepayers from price gouging,”

350NH Action Statement on the NH State Budget that Governor Ayotte signed into law.

Letters from NH Residents in response to the state’s awful budget proposals.

This Executive Order only serves the wealthy fossil fuel and utility corporations that poison our communities by drilling, fracking, and burning. Ignoring the climate crisis does not mean that it impacts us any less.

New Hampshire has no concrete greenhouse gas emission reduction goals or legislative-mandated climate action plans. That said, it’s in the best interest of the Department of Energy and the general public to ensure our energy policy meets the needs of Granite Staters in an affordable, safe, healthy way that also addresses the problems facing our current energy system.

Thanks to the No Coal No Gas campaign - supported by the Climate Disobedience Center and 350 New Hampshire - the last coal plant in the region is set to become a “renewable energy park.”

Climate Justice recommendations for a state Climate Action Plan.

Clean, renewable energy is more reliable and more affordable now than ever before - and it’s outpacing coal and fracked gas. To claim that taking environmental justice into account will cost ratepayers more is a false narrative. Flooding and tornadoes cost much more than climate solutions.
