Liberty Utilities filed a base rate case for its New Hampshire natural gas customers on July 30, 2026, Docket DG 26-037, seeking over 16 percent more on distribution rates, about 26 dollars a month for a typical customer, citing system modernization costs. A temporary rate increase could take effect as soon as November 1, 2026, with the full review expected to take about 12 months from filing; U.S. Representative Maggie Goodlander has been granted intervention in the case.
What it means for your bill: If approved as filed, this would add about 26 dollars a month to a typical Liberty Utilities natural gas bill in New Hampshire; nothing has been decided yet.
