New Hampshire Clean Energy Guide
The Granite State is expanding clean energy through its RPS and net metering programs. As part of ISO New England, New Hampshire benefits from regional clean energy resources including offshore wind development.
Policy Overview
New Hampshire's RPS requires 25.2% renewable energy by 2025, with separate classes for different technologies. The state participates in RGGI (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative) to cap carbon emissions from power plants.
Net metering is available for systems up to 1 MW, and the state offers Renewable Energy Fund rebates for residential and commercial solar installations. The New Hampshire PUC oversees utility regulation.
Active Projects & Development
Distributed Solar Growth
Residential and commercial solar installations are growing across New Hampshire, supported by net metering and state rebate programs.
Community Solar
Group net metering enables community solar projects that allow customers to share renewable energy benefits without rooftop installations.
Regional Offshore Wind
New Hampshire can benefit from New England offshore wind through the ISO-NE regional market, helping meet RPS requirements.

Market Outlook
New Hampshire's clean energy market is growing through distributed solar and community solar development. The state will benefit from regional offshore wind through ISO-NE, helping meet RPS requirements.
Opportunities include rooftop solar, community solar, battery storage, and energy efficiency programs. RGGI participation supports continued clean energy investment.
Grid Operator: ISO New England
New Hampshire is served by ISO New England (ISO-NE), which manages the regional wholesale electricity market and grid operations for all six New England states. This enables New Hampshire to access regional clean energy resources.
