The electric rate in NH has been low and for a good reason. In 2000, less than 5% of the fuel used to produce electricity was natural gas. Today that figure rose to 50%. Elecricity is produced in NH by three main fuels, Natural Gas, nuclear and coal. Gas, diesel and oil plants are replaced by natural gas.
Natural gas prices are almost the same as it was in the 1980's. Natural gas futures remain low, but that may change due to demand. Natural gas demands have been on a steady uprise since gas deposits in the US became known to the public. 54% of commercial and residential buildings today uses natural gas.

If you have a natural gas pipeline nearby, the gas campany will work with you in getting the line to your house. If there is a street with no gas line, if homeowners signed up for gas, the gas company ran a pipeline up the street at no cost to the owners. the gas company will work with a subcontractor to run individual gas lines to the homes at reduced cost.
