once you sign up for electric delivery service from Eversource you can and should choose an an alternative electric supplier. Eversource's base rate is insane and you can get a much better deal.

Here's a current list of providers in NH.

I've never heard of this before, some of those rates are quite lower than the 20-22¢ I'm paying with Eversource. Do you know if there are drawbacks going with a different supplier?

No major drawbacks.

You'll want to keep track of when your locked-in rate expires and how it differs from the Eversource rate and the supplier's default rate.

If you don't, you may find your rate jumps significantly above even Eversource's rate once the promotional period ends.

Take advantage of the promotional periods and monitor options available at the time it expires? Seems worth it for the rate difference.
