Ashland Electric Department

Ashland Electric Department serves customers in Ashland in New Hampshire with a residential electricity rate of $0.16 per kWh. This is 3% below the national average of $0.168/kWh, though solar still delivers strong returns with today’s lower installation prices.

At current rates, a typical Ashland Electric Department household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,753 per year on electricity. An 8 kW solar system can offset most or all of that usage, saving an estimated $1,558 annually and $56,806 over the 25-year life of the system. The estimated payback period is 16 years.

As a municipal utility, Ashland Electric Department sets its own rates and policies independently. Ashland Electric Department offers net metering, allowing solar customers to receive credits for excess energy sent back to the grid.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. State and utility-level incentives are now the primary financial benefits for homeowners going solar. NuWatt Energy handles the entire process from system design through permits and Ashland Electric Department interconnection, ensuring you receive every available rebate.
