Clean Energy NH

We’re thrilled to share some big news: U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen has secured $3 million in the FY 2026 Appropriations bill for a new national Energy Circuit Rider pilot program — bringing a proven model from rural New Hampshire to communities across the country.

This is a huge win for small towns and rural communities, and it wouldn’t be possible without the tireless work of organizations on the ground.

At Clean Energy NH, we’ve spent years serving as the “on-the-ground experts” for clean energy and energy efficiency in the Granite State — helping local governments, municipalities and communities navigate grants, plan projects, and deploy clean energy solutions. We’re proud to have served as an advisor for this program, and look forward to seeing our model being scaled up at the national level.
