New Hampshire Electricity Prices

New Hampshire's average residential electricity rate stood at 27.24¢/kWh in April 2026. The state pays more than the country as a whole — 41.0% above the 19.32¢ average. Prices have risen 15.1% year over year. A typical 10,500-kWh household would pay around $2,860 a year at this rate, and that spend is the starting point for any solar-payback estimate.

What we measure: Average residential retail price of electricity published by the EIA for the state, in cents per kilowatt-hour — a statewide monthly average, not a personalized utility tariff or the rate any single household pays. EIA publishes state retail-price data on a lag of roughly two to three months; the latest period shown reflects that lag.
