Energy costs affect nearly every household in New Hampshire from monthly utility bills to housing affordability and long-term economic security. As lawmakers debate proposals aimed at controlling rising energy costs, understanding who represents consumers and how energy policy decisions are made has never been more important. 

In the first episode of Season Two of New Hampshire Uncharted, host Gene Martin is joined by Donald M. Kreis, New Hampshire’s Consumer Advocate, to break down the role of the Consumer Advocate, what’s driving rising electricity costs, and what policy changes could help improve affordability and fairness.
