This bill introduces a new legal framework for "off-grid electricity providers" in New Hampshire by amending RSA 374 to include a new section, 374:3-c. The bill defines an off-grid electricity provider as any entity that generates, transmits, distributes, or sells electricity independently of the regulated electric grid, meaning they are not connected to any existing electric transmission or distribution system for primary or backup supply. These providers are exempt from certain regulations under RSA Title XXXIV, provided they do not connect to the grid or cross any federal, state, or municipal roadways or boundaries. However, they must still comply with other applicable laws and regulations unless specifically exempted.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that if an off-grid electricity provider chooses to connect to the regulated electric grid or crosses any designated boundaries, they will lose their off-grid status and become subject to the regulations outlined in RSA Title XXXIV. The act is set to take effect upon its passage and is noted to have no fiscal impact on state, county, or local expenditures or revenue.
