Having previously worked for a large electric utility for eleven years, I can confirm that electric utilities are slow to change compared to most companies.
Customers of the NH Electric Coop recently received a ballot to elect new board members to steer our electric utility into the future. I urge you to reelect current board members Leo Dywer and Bill Darcy for another term. These two gentlemen are helping to bring the Coop into the 21st century with their NH Broadband Initiative and their forward-thinking approach to managing the electric side of the business.
Dywer and Darcy led the effort to get a major $50 million grant to expand high speed internet into rural areas of the service area currently without broadband. This initial effort has been very successful but there is more work to do. There is substantial additional federal money coming to NH to help expand broadband further and also to provided need competition to high priced broadband service of cable providers.
Dwyer and Darcy are also working to keep electric rates affordable. We need their leadership to achieve positive change for our Coop. Please vote on the ballot received in the mail or in your email box.
