Small Renewable Energy Systems Incentive Bill To Become Law

Thanks to the hard work, patience and support of the NHSEA membership and volunteer Board, HB1628 has passed! Now New Hampshire has a financial incentive for small renewable energy systems! Some final tweaking through the senate has clarified some of the language, and we thank you for all of your input, as well as the consistent support from the Public Utilities Commission and Office of Consumer Advocate, and so many of the legislators that supported this effort. Mostly, however, we thank Representative Mike Kaelin (D-Lyndeborough), prime sponsor of this bill, for his focus and courage on securing this important program. Drop a line to Rep. Kaelin at mike@kaelin.net. We do anticipate that Governor Lynch will sign this bill into law.

NHSEA’s Mission

"To educate NH citizens and organizations about sustainable energy and to advocate in NH for favorable sustainable energy policies."

NHSEA wants to reach everyone in the state, from those who are recently interested in energy, to legislators, to professionals, to homeowners who wants to reduce their energy foot print.

NHSEA activities include exhibiting at events, hosting house parties, in-depth topic-specific workshops, the annual Green Buildings Open House in October, legislative alerts on energy-related bills in the NH House, and much more.

The NHSEA website is a work in progress, and we invite you to submit your ideas as we develop a resource to answer questions, stimulate discussion and provide a forum for energy-conscious residents and NHSEA members.
