PSNH Customers to Pay More for Electricity

The average customer's bill will go up about $6 a month.

Public Service of New Hampshire's request for a rate hike was approved by the Public Utilities Commission on Friday, according to the Union Leader.

This means that PSNH's electric customers – including those in the Portsmouth area – will see an average rate hike of about $6 a month. The power company says the rate hike was needed because of the anticipated higher price of power and a loss of customers to other electric providers.
