relative to the department of energy's 10-year state energy strategy and removing references to the energy efficiency and sustainable energy board.

HB 189 amends New Hampshire's energy strategy framework by removing references to the Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Energy Board from the Department of Energy's 10-year state energy strategy. The bill inserts a new definition stating "clean energy" includes nuclear and renewable sources with minimal or no greenhouse gas emissions. This change streamlines the strategy document by eliminating a specific board oversight reference while establishing a clear definition for "clean energy" in state policy. The bill passed both chambers, was signed by the governor, and takes effect September 13, 2025.
