Financial Assistance

If you’re struggling to pay your electric bill, we want to help. We offer programs that may be of assistance. Additionally, we encourage you to contact your town hall or church to inquire about local assistance programs. You can also contact 211 New Hampshire, a statewide service that provides access to all the health and human services available to you. Dial 2-1-1 and be connected, at no charge, to a trained information and referral specialist who can provide you with the information you need to get help.

If you have fallen behind on your electric bill and would like to set up a payment arrangement, our Member Solutions Representatives are here to help!

Statewide Electric Assistance Program (EAP)

NHEC works with the six Community Action Agencies (CAA’s) throughout the state to qualify and enroll eligible Co-op members in the New Hampshire Electric Assistance Program (EAP). If you are having difficulty paying your bill, call your local Community Action Agency (CAA) to set up an appointment to discuss your energy assistance options.
