HB 266 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

relative to structural changes to the department of energy.

HB 266 restructures the Department of Energy's role in utility commission proceedings. It grants the department automatic party status in all Public Utilities Commission cases, requiring it to be included in filings and confidential information exchanges. This ensures the department has full participation rights without needing to separately petition for involvement. The bill directly affects the Department of Energy, the Public Utilities Commission, and utility companies or parties involved in commission proceedings.
