Inside this Edition
Discover how Freedom Energy is empowering municipalities in New Hampshire to partner with local renewable energy generators through Group Net Metering (GNM). By acting as proxy off-takers, municipalities align their energy usage with production, earning revenue while contributing to a greener future. GNM requires no behavioral change—simply sign up and continue normal electricity usage. With flexible commitment options and no impact on supply agreements, GNM offers a tangible way to support local renewable energy projects.
Skeptical? We understand that there may be questions about the program; however, GNM is a legitimate program that benefits both participants and the environment. Hear from current Group Net Metering members, read our FAQs about the program, and more by clicking here.
