CONCORD, N.H. — The New Hampshire Department of Energy is hiring a consultant to assess whether it would be feasible for the state to cut itself off or step back from the regional power grid.

The Executive Council approved a $230,056 contract with Boston-based London Economics International, LLC, for the study at its meeting on Jan. 28. The payment will be assessed to New Hampshire’s utilities, which can petition the Public Utilities Commission to recover costs through rates.

New Hampshire Bulletin is part of States Newsroom, a nonprofit news network supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.
