Allowing energy storage systems, like batteries, to qualify for net metering compensation and ensuring they can be included in future regulations is a crucial part in New Hampshire's transition to a clean energy future. This means consumers can store extra energy produced during the day and use it at night or during peak demand times. This helps balance energy supply and demand, strengthens grid stability, and reduces reliance on fossil-fuel backup generators. Encouraging battery storage also benefits New Hampshire residents during power outages caused by winter storms and extreme weather. I strongly support HB761.
