The New Hampshire Department of Energy, under RSA 12-P:2, is tasked with representing the positions of the Department before the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (PUC or Commission), and is authorized to complete the record for consideration by the PUC when it must determine whether the services provided by electric and natural gas utilities through their distribution networks are adequate for their customers’ needs, and whether those services are provided at just and reasonable rates. The Department is seeking qualified consultant(s) able to provide cost of capital consulting services for assistance in various electric and gas distribution rate case dockets, which typically conclude within 12 months after petitions are filed with the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission. The Department will consider proposals in response to this RFP that propose a contract period of three years from the initial contract effective date, with payment disbursed based on assigned projects and negotiated hourly rates.
