On May 4, 2021, the Commission issued an order of notice in this matter. The Commission issued a supplemental order of notice in this matter on June 4, 2021.

This supplemental order of notice updates the previous order of notice due to the expiration of the declared State of Emergency on June 11, 2021. With the expiration of the State of Emergency, the Commission must now comply with all requirements of RSA chapter 91-A, including the requirement that a quorum of a public body must be physically present at the location specified as the location of the public meeting in the meeting notice.  The Commission is aware that not all parties, including regulated utilities, have returned to full in-person work environments.

In order to facilitate the hybrid approach, all parties participating in the hearing room will continue to participate on the web-enabled platform. Parties and the public may continue to participate in hearings remotely using the Commission’s web-enabled platform.

Based upon the foregoing, it is hereby

ORDERED, that the Commission will hold a hearing in this matter at its offices located at 21 S.
