How to switch your Lebanon electricity provider

Since New Hampshire deregulated its electricity market in 1996, residents have gained the power to choose their electricity suppliers and potentially reduce their energy costs.

The switching process is straightforward and won't disrupt your power service.

To switch providers:

• Compare rates from different suppliers like SmartEnergy, Direct Energy, and North American Power
• Select a supplier offering rates and terms that match your needs
• Review contract details, including term length and cancellation fees
• Complete the enrollment form with your chosen supplier

Your new supplier will handle the changeover with your utility company, and you'll maintain continuous service throughout the process.

Best time to switch electric companies in Lebanon, New Hampshire?

Understanding when to switch energy providers in Lebanon requires careful attention to the state's biannual rate changes and market conditions. The ideal times to reflect on switching are near February 1 and August 1, when utilities adjust their rates.

You'll want to evaluate these key timing factors:

• Compare your current rate with upcoming changes
• Check for contract end dates to avoid termination fees
• Monitor seasonal price trends
• Watch for significant rate reductions
• Review market conditions affecting energy costs

For the best deals, use comparison tools like ours and time your switch during the confirmed rate decreases.

Lebanon's deregulated electricity market

New Hampshire's deregulated electricity market empowers you to choose your energy supplier while your utility company manages power delivery. This system, implemented in 2001, creates a competitive marketplace where multiple suppliers compete for your business.

Your utility company maintains the power lines and infrastructure but doesn't generate electricity. Instead, they procure power through competitive auctions held twice yearly.

The New England Independent System Operator (ISO) oversees the wholesale market, selecting the lowest-cost electricity bids from merchant plants to meet demand.

Under this structure, you can compare rates from different suppliers and switch providers to secure better prices, typically through contracts ranging from 3 to 30 months.

Types of electricity plans in Lebanon, NH

You have four primary options that cater to different needs and preferences: fixed-rate, variable-rate, prepaid/no-deposit, and renewable energy plans.

Fixed-rate plans offer rate stability with contracts ranging from 6 to 36 months, though they include early termination fees.

Variable-rate plans provide flexibility without contracts but expose you to market fluctuations.

If you're concerned about deposits, prepaid plans let you pay upfront and maintain control through balance alerts.

For environmentally conscious consumers, renewable energy plans support green power sources while remaining competitively priced.
