Portsmouth Community Power customers will experience a higher electricity supply rate starting August 1st, with the new default rate increasing to 14.949 cents per kilowatt-hour, surpassing Eversource's default rate of 14.009 cents. This adjustment is attributed to higher energy supply costs driven by wholesale market conditions and increased electricity demand. Residents can choose to switch between Portsmouth Community Power and Eversource without penalty, and the Energy Advisory Committee continues to monitor the situation, emphasizing the program's long-term value for residents despite the current increase.
