The New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (PUC) will soon consider a new rate proposal from PSNH.

PSNH has requested that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) extend by 90 days the public comment period regarding reissuance of a Draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for Merrimack Station.
A new Outage Restoration Callback System is now in place at PSNH Customer Experience, providing greater response efficiency to customers during a localized outage. The system dials customers who have called to report an outage, and delivers an automated message when the power has been restored.
