LACONIA — The City of Laconia and Freedom Energy Logistics renewed Laconia’s Community Choice Aggregation program, extending access to a fixed electricity supply rate for eligible residents and small businesses on electric default service. The renewed program will offer a rate of $0.13699 per kWh from Nov. 1, through Oct. 31, 2027, with First Point Power serving as the electricity supplier.
Eversource's six-month default rate is $0.14009 per kWh from Aug. 1 to Jan. 31, 2027. Laconia’s CCA program offers savings of $0.0031 per kWh.
“Laconia’s CCA program allows the community to use its collective purchasing power to secure more stable, competitive electricity rates for residents and small businesses,” said Kirk Beattie, city manager for Laconia. “Following public hearings held by the City’s Aggregation Committee in Nov. 2024, the city council approved the plan on Feb. 10, 2025. The city launched the CCA program in April 2026 to help residents and small businesses manage ongoing volatility in energy prices, and we are pleased to extend the program for another year. This initiative strengthens affordability, transparency, and local control in energy decision-making for the Laconia community.”
Laconia residents who are new to the city since the program’s original launch will receive opt-out notices by mail beginning in October. They will have 30 days to opt-out of the CCA program before being transitioned from Eversource default service to the Laconia CCA program. Residents who do not opt-out may still leave the program at any time without fees or penalties. Customers who already receive electricity supply from a third-party supplier will not be affected. Laconia aggregation customers will continue to receive electricity delivery service from Eversource, and any issues related to metering, billing, or power outages should continue to be directed to Eversource. Customers will also continue to receive their electric bills from Eversource.
