Electric Assistance ProgramThe Electric Assistance Program (EAP) is a statewide program that helps reduce the amount you owe on your electric bill. If you qualify, discounts ranging from 5% to 70% on the basic electric service are available.
To apply, you must contact your local Community Action Agency (see below) and complete the Electric Assistance Program application. Your local Community Action Agency will determine your eligibility based on your annual household income. We cannot determine your eligibility.
| County | Contact Numbers |
| Cheshire & Sullivan | 603-352-7512 or 1-800-529-0005 |
| Coos, Carroll & Grafton | 603-752-7105 or 1-800-552-4617 |

| Rockingham | 603-436-3896 or 1-800-639-3896 |

You are responsible for paying the remainder of the bill shown on the 'Amount Now Due' line. Learn more by reading our

Third Party Notification
If you have a friend or relative who occasionally neglects
bills, we can help you help them with our Third Party Notification program. Any
customer can designate a relative, trusted friend or agency to be a caregiver
and receive copies of notices should the account become overdue. The caregiver
is in no way responsible for bill payment, but can alert the customer if there
is a problem. This service provides helpful protection during times of extended
absences from home or during illness. To sign up for this service, fill out the
Third Party Notification form (pdf) or call us at 1-800-322-3223.
