Utility data · NH · Cooperative

New Hampshire Elec Coop Inc

74,144 residential customers. A household here uses 6,937 kWh a year and pays about $1,638 for it. A standard rooftop array at this latitude would offset $1,638 of that bill.

Every figure on this page is marked with the source that produced it; the marks resolve in Sources.

What the numbers say

An array here covers the whole household load

The modelled array out-produces what a household in this territory consumes, even in a weak production year. Savings are capped by the bill rather than by the roof, which is why no range is shown.

What is particular to this territory

Cooperative, serving 74,144 residential accounts.
A household here uses about 578 kWh a month and pays $137 for it, at 23.6¢.
That rate is 39% above the 16.9¢ national customer-weighted mean.
Households here use 31% less than the 10,121 kWh national average.
The annual bill of $1,638 is 4% above the $1,568 national average, or $70 a year more.
Modelled output varies by about 2.8% year to year, from the PVGIS-NSRDB radiation record.
The reference array is modelled at 10,058 kWh here, worth $137 a month against this rate.
The modelled array covers 145% of that use, out-producing the household by 3,121 kWh in a typical year, so the offset is capped by the bill.

The figures behind that

Customers, use, rate, and bill are filed with the EIA or computed from filed figures. Array output is modelled by PVGIS, and the offset and ranks combine the two. Every row names the source it rests on and the date of the event that source describes. Nothing here is a quote or an offer.

Month by month

The series starts in August 2026. One row is not a trend, and this page will not claim one until there are enough rows to show a direction.

Appended once per source event, bound to solar-savings-history-v1. Each row carries the date of the event its figures describe.

What the EIA publishes about this utility

Beyond sales and revenue, EIA-861 collects separate files that not every utility appears in. For New Hampshire Elec Coop Inc our ledger records no usable interruption metrics, an entry in the net metering file, and a declared service territory. Those files are not summarised on this page; this states only whether the agency has data to summarise.

The interruption side of that data does have a page. How long the power stays off in New Hampshire covers an ordinary year and a year with major storms, which is the half of the decision an array cannot answer: a grid-tied system shuts down during an outage.

When this data is from

Customers, sales, and revenue are EIA-861 2024 final release, bulk XLSX (f8612024.zip), data year 2024, published here as GS-SOURCE-EIA861-RESIDENTIAL-2024 with source event 2024-12-31. Modelled array output is PVGIS v5.2 PVcalc, European Commission Joint Research Centre, retrieved 2026-08-20 from PVGIS-ERA5 and PVGIS-NSRDB, published as GS-SOURCE-PVGIS-PVCALC-V5-2. Which territories the index covers comes from GS-SOURCE-GEOSTELLAR-UTILITY-PAGE-PRIORITY-V2, source event 2026-08-19; the comparisons on this page are taken against every utility the EIA reports with residential detail, not against the subset that has a page. The dates differ because the filings are annual and the production model is not. The monthly series on this page begins in August 2026.

What this page is not

It is a territory average, not an estimate for your house. The rate is a full-year average across every residential customer this utility serves, not a tariff and not the rate on your bill. The array is a standard one modelled at your state’s population centre, not your roof. Net metering terms, installation cost, incentives, and financing are not modelled at all. The methodology page states the formula and the limits we know of.
