Energy Security & Affordability for NH Businesses During War & PeaceNH businesses have zero control over supplies of oil, natural gas and gasoline because we have to import all fossil fuels from away. This makes us forever vulnerable to external price shocks, whether it's the Iran war, Ukraine war or LNG exports driving up local costs. In response, a growing number of businesses are investing in solar and battery storage to stabilize energy costs and increase their independence as volatile liquid fuels become less reliable and more expensive in a destabilizing world. Now that solar has become the cheapest form of energy in history, producing and storing energy locally has become a vital strategy for businesses to bypass global volatility and turn true energy independence into a massive, stable competitive advantage—shielding business operations from unpredictable price spikes and supply chain bottlenecks.

Join NHBSR and ReVision Energy co-founder Phil Coupe for a deep dive into the opportunity to harness hyper-efficient electrotech for an energy future that is cheaper, cleaner and better for the Granite State's economy and environment.

From Progress to Possibility: The Next Era of Energy in NHNew Hampshire is at a pivotal moment in its energy story. Costs are rising, the grid is changing, and communities across the state are stepping up with real solutions. This is your chance to hear from the people shaping what comes next - and to be part of the conversation yourself.

Join us for the signature event of NH Energy Week, featuring a fireside chat with U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and a look at what's happening on the ground.

> Fireside chat with US Senator Jeanne Shaheen: U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen has spent decades fighting for New Hampshire families - on energy costs, clean air, weatherization funding, and the transition to a more resilient grid. As she prepares to close this chapter of public service, she'll sit down for a candid fireside conversation to reflect on what's been won, what's unfinished, and what New Hampshire needs to hold onto in the years ahead. This is a conversation as much about legacy as it is about policy.
> Local voices - Community energy in action: Hear directly from communities putting energy solutions to work at the local level.

Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of where New Hampshire's energy system is headed, what opportunities exist right now, and concrete ways to get involved - whether at home, in your community, or at the Statehouse.

Love Your Earth DayWhat does a church roof, a farmer's freezer, and a middle schooler's garden have in common? They're all part of the clean energy revolution happening in the Lakes Region and on Saturday, May 10, you can see it all up close.

Join the free community celebration where local organizations are pulling back the curtain on the real, practical ways their neighbors are cutting energy costs, reducing emissions, and building a more sustainable New Hampshire.
Meet the innovators making it happen:
> See how a green roof is changing the way students (and their school's energy bill) think about sustainability.
> Get hands-on with a model home that shows exactly where your house is hemorrhaging heat - and what you can do about it.
> Find out how one local congregation is powering its building with sunshine.
> Learn how a local farmer is keeping his produce cold with solar energy — and how programs like this can work for your community too.
> Talk to advocates working at the state and national level to make clean energy faster, cheaper, and fairer for everyone.

Whether you're curious about solar panels, want to slash your heating bills, or just want to connect with people who care about this place they call home.
