Fiber-to-the-premises in rural New Hampshire
Fiber-to-the-premises in rural New Hampshire
We advised the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative on the development of a $150M+ fiber-to-the-premises network under a partnership model in rural parts of New Hampshire.
Challenge
A rural electric cooperative sought ways to leverage its existing infrastructure to bring high-quality future-proofed broadband internet service to residents in its service area, while minimizing its financial exposure and transferring substantial commercial risk to a private partner.
The Approach
We advised a rural electric cooperative in the Northeast region of the United States on the potential construction and operation of a $150M+ fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) network in their service territory. We, along with our partner, CTC Technology & Energy, helped the cooperative develop, evaluate, and compare marketable partnership options.
We were responsible for developing and executing a competitive procurement process, guiding the cooperative through key decisions on the funding and financing of the network, and structuring the transaction to achieve optimal risk transfer.
Impact
A replicable model for rural fiber partnerships.
