Bennington Community Power

Power Choices,
Made in Bennington

Bennington Community Power is the town’s electricity supply program, helping residents manage electricity costs while increasing renewable energy use and cutting carbon pollution. Bennington voters approved the program in March 2024; it launched in April 2025 and was renewed for 36 months in October 2025.

Electricity Options In Bennington

The Town of Bennington works with Priority Power to competitively bid for an electricity supplier, securing the best rates for residents. The program offers fixed-rate electricity with increased renewables for a 36-month term, and residents may opt out to the default utility rate at any time.

How the Process Works

Bennington Community Power is a municipal electricity aggregation operated by the Town of Bennington, and authorized by NH RSA 53-E.

Two parts make up your utility electricity bill: Supply and Delivery.

Supply Services

The town selects an electricity supplier to source power for the community

Delivery Services

Your utility continues to deliver the electricity from the town’s supplier

Your Bill

No change in service quality. Only the price in “Supplier” section of your bill changes

Your Utility Electricity Bill in Bennington

If you participate, your electrical bill will be impacted as follows:

Your bill’s Supplier line will change to reflect your participation in the program.
Your utilitywill continue to provide all Delivery Services, including responding to power outages, and will continue to send you your electricity bill.
Customers that receive a discount on their electricity bill through the Electric Assistance Program (EAP) will continue to receive their benefits.
Budget billing customers will continue to receive budget billing for the Delivery Services portion of the bill.
Net metering: We cannot yet offer the net metering value we would like for all net metering customers. For residential customers that participate, those on Net Energy Metering 1.0 (or “Standard”) would continue to receive the same value for their generation as today; however, those on Net Energy Metering 2.0 (or “Alternative”) would receive less value for their generation than today. There are additional factors to consider, and we highly encourage each net metering customer to make their own decision. If, after reading this document, you are still uncertain about the best decision for your household, please call our net metering support line.
You may leave the Program, or switch options, at any time, without penalty.
