In addition to last month's rate drop, the NHEC has just announced in the
February member newsletter that they will be holding steady on both their transmission charges and the membership fee (aka meter fee) for the coming year. This is significant because increases in the meter fees and/or transmission fees are a method often used by the utility companies in lieu of rate increases. Utility costs increase by roughly 2-3% a year on average but are sometimes reflected by the meter fees rather than rate increases and thus go unnoticed. To get the last two months news from the Co-op is truly a treat.
The internet rates shown in the newsletter look good too and I'll be looking forward to the day they run service my way...
