Number of Awards
Size of Award	New Hampshire requires all utilities selling electricity in the state to offer net metering to homeowners and small businesses that generate electricity using renewable-energy systems up to 100 kilowatts (kW) in capacity. The aggregate capacity of all net-metered systems in a utility's service territory is limited to 1 percent of the utility's annual peak energy demand. Any customer net excess generation (NEG) during a billing cycle is credited to the customer "over subsequent billing periods."
Start Date	1/12/2001
End Date
Minimum Efficiency(%)	65 %
Additional Information	Legislation enacted in 2011 (H.B. 381) includes combined heat and power as eligible for net metering. Certain efficiencies must be met. A combined heat and power system of at least 1 kW but less than 30 kW must have a fuel system efficiency of at least 80 percent. A system greater than 30 kW but less than 1 megawatt (MW) - the state net metering limit - must have a fuel system efficiency of at least 65 percent. In addition, combined heat and power net metered systems can only contribute up to 2 MW under the aggregate capacity limit of 50 MW.
