New Hampshire’s Renewable Natural Gas Legislation

In June 2022, New Hampshire approved a bill allowing utilities to procure up to 5% of gas supplies from renewable natural gas and make upgrades to their distribution infrastructure to lower emissions. Under the plan, gas companies would have to go through a competitive bidding process to purchase RNG supplies. It is not a requirement, but “encourages” the procurement of renewable natural gas and investment in RNG infrastructure by gas utilities, “provided that the Public Utilities Commission finds utility proposals to be in the public interest.”
