Governor Chris Sununu Statement Following House Vote on HB 183

Statement

Today, Governor Chris Sununu issued the following statement after the House voted to sustain his veto of HB 183, establishing a committee to study the applications of microgrids in New Hampshire and changes in law necessary to allow for microgrids in electrical supply, and relative to baseload renewable generation credits for biomass energy facilities:

"I would like to thank the House for standing with ratepayers and sustaining my veto of HB 183," said Governor Chris Sununu. "This bill would have cost New Hampshire ratepayers approximately $20M a year over the next three years, picked winners and losers in a competitive energy market, and would have harmed our most vulnerable citizens for the benefit of a few."
