New energy law deregulates off-grid energy providers
Regarding the "Consumer Regulated Electricity" (CRE) law in New Hampshire:
- "“This [bill] injects competition into the [energy] marketplace, which will help create lower rates,” [State Sen. Dan Innis, R-Bradford] said."
- "[Dartmouth] Engineering professor Junbo Zhao, who researches energy grids, said he agreed that the law could lower prices."
- "[Dartmouth] Economics professor John Welborn wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth that he is “thrilled” about H.B. 672 because it “opens the door” for “innovative” energy providers that “can power high-demand industries,” like data centers and crypto mining, without “burdening” the public grid."
- "Zhao said he is “not worried” about providers causing “environmental issues” because the centers would not be exempt from environmental regulations, only public utility ones."
