New Hampshire Elec Coop Inc
Average price is revenue divided by sales for the sector and year; it is not a tariff rate. Reliability figures are as reported by utilities to EIA on Form 861 and may use different calculation methods. Annual figures: Form EIA-861 for 2024, final release. Monthly state figures run to July 2026.
New Hampshire Elec Coop Inc serves 74,144 residential customers in New Hampshire as an electric cooperative, according to its 2024 Form EIA-861 filing, with a service territory that touches 9 counties.
Its average residential price that year was 23.83¢ per kilowatthour, about the same as the New Hampshire average of 23.40¢ and 45% above the US average of 16.48¢. The figure is residential revenue divided by residential sales, so it folds in fixed charges, riders and every rate schedule the utility bills under.
That works out to an average residential bill of $137.42 a month on average use of 577 kWh a month. Across New Hampshire the average bill was $144.87 on 619 kWh, so a bill gap reflects how much power households use as well as what each kilowatthour costs.
The price covers the 72,772 residential customers on bundled service. A further 1,372 take delivery only and buy their energy from another supplier; EIA collects just part of their bill from this respondent, so they are left out of the average.
For reliability it reported a SAIDI of 2,410.2 minutes per customer with major event days included and 514.9 minutes with them excluded, calculated under another method. The median among New Hampshire utilities reporting was 689.8 minutes with major event days; this utility's figure is 249% above that median.
The average price is up 13.7% on 2019, against up 16.7% for New Hampshire as a whole, and down 10.4% on 2023.

Customers, sales and revenue count every service type the utility reported (bundled, energy-only and delivery-only). The price column uses bundled service alone, because part-bill revenue would understate it. Sources of energy: 696.8 GWh in total, of which 0% was its own net generation and 696.8 GWh was bought wholesale; summer peak demand 181 MW.
Reliability
Minutes of sustained interruption per customer in 2024, as the utility reported them under another method. SAIFI: 5.24 interruptions per customer with major event days, 2.65 without; CAIDI 460.0 minutes per interruption. EIA's New Hampshire total across all reporting utilities was 922.7 minutes with major event days and 132.3 without. Major event days are storms and similar events that a utility's chosen method sets apart; methods differ, so treat comparisons as approximate. What SAIDI and SAIFI mean.
