New Hampshire RPS

NH: On May 11, 2007, Governor John Lynch signed into law House Bill 873, the Renewable Energy Act, which establishes a renewable energy portfolio standard for the state. HB 873 mandates that 25 percent of the state’s electricity come from renewable sources by 2025, a goal Governor Lynch had previously set for New Hampshire.  Sources of energy that count toward the standard include wind, solar, geothermal, hydrogen derived from biomass fuels or methane gas, ocean thermal, wave, current, tidal energy, methane gas, eligible biomass technologies, and existing small hydroelectric sources.
