Site Evaluation Committee Bill

House Bill 609 is legislation that would significantly change New Hampshire’s law for the siting of large-scale energy projects. The bill proposes to eliminate the Site Evaluation Committee (SEC) and move the decision-making authority for the siting large-scale energy facilities to the NH Public Utilities Commission. The Forest Society opposes HB 609 and testified against it. Stay updated on how you can speak up about this issue by subscribing to our Forest Advocate e-newsletter.
