“We are thrilled to officially launch our fourth wave of communities, all of whom have decided to adopt Community Power to increase their local control of energy decision-making while expanding customer choice,” said Brian Callnan, CEO of CPCNH. “CPCNH continues to offer competitive rates and millions in savings and community benefits to our membership across the state,” continued Callnan.
CPCNH has also announced that Sullivan County has become the third county, joining both Merrimack and Cheshire, to join the Coalition’s Membership.
Sullivan County has been coordinating with several municipalities in the development of its Community Power program and anticipates bringing the program online in 2025.
