The New Hampshire PUC has reiterated that a new docket shall be opened to consider appropriate processes for future default service solicitations.

The PUC first stated such an intention in September, prompted by a lack of bidder participation in several New England default service procurements.

"The new docket shall include stakeholder discussions on various approaches to default service solicitations and shall consider options such as those proposed by OCA, as well as options suggested by other stakeholders. Staff shall conduct a stakeholder process to reach recommendations prior to a hearing to be held by June 2015, on alternative approaches to the current solicitation process," the PUC said.

The PUC will separately examine contingency default service proposals from Granite State Electric and Unitil for cases where procurements do not attract sufficient bidders.

Dockets DE 14-211, DE 14-031 and DE 14-061
