It is therefore in the public interest to stimulate investment in distributed energy resources in New Hampshire in diverse ways, including by encouraging New Hampshire electric public utilities to invest in renewable and clean distributed energy resources at the lowest reasonable cost to taxpayers benefiting the transmission and distribution system under state regulatory oversight. Reliable, dispatchable, and controllable power generation must also be available to provide all essential electric service when renewable distributed energy resources, including storage, are not sufficient. It is therefore in the public interest to stimulate investment in natural gas, hydrogen, and nuclear technologies, including battery storage, to ensure reliable and efficient energy in addition to renewable and clean distributed energy resources. Given the ability of nuclear technology to provide reactive power, it also ensures grid stability and supports voltage regulation.","path":["Title XXXIV: PUBLIC UTILITIES","Chapter 374-G: ELECTRIC UTILITY INVESTMENT IN DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES"],"source_url":"https://gc.nh.gov/rsa/html/XXXIV/374-G/374-G-1.htm","current_through":"2026 regular legislative session.
