Electric Vehicle Chargers

Level 3 EV chargers deliver a full charge in approximately 25 minutes. In 2015, Seabrook welcomed NH’s first Level 3 installation, a bank of eight chargers situated adjacent to Panera. Today, Seabrook continues to lead the state with a total of 25 Level 3 installations, and an untold number of Level 2 chargers. All are situated on private property, and all are owned and operated by private companies, at no cost to local taxpayers. 

Seabrook has evolved into a regional hub for the EV community. The fellow pictured above, for example, is a Portsmouth police officer who drives to Seabrook to charge his personal vehicle.

Seabrook Station Units 3 & 4

Unit 3 is a 4.5 MW solar farm that was approved by the Planning Board in February 2023. At the time, this solar array was the largest such facility in NH. Unit 3’s 15.7 acre site had been utilized in the 1980’s as a laydown area in support of the construction of the nearby nuclear plant.

Unit 4 is a 2.75 MW solar farm approved in April 2023. This facility will also occupy the site of an abandoned laydown area on 14.7 acres. The combined generating capacity of Units 3 & 4 (7.25 MW) will be sufficient to power 1,160 homes.

C & J Bus Terminal

In 2019, the Town facilitated a 2-lot subdivision at an abandoned big-box store that allowed C & J Bus Lines to establish a bus terminal in Seabrook, accompanied by 900 parking spaces. C & J offers non-stop service to Logan Airport, Boston’s South Station, and New York City. On a daily basis, the new terminal reduces greenhouse gas emissions by removing hundreds of private automobile trips within the I-95 corridor.

Seabrook Station Unit 1

This 1,244 MW nuclear plant has supplied electrical power to much of New England since 1990. Is this clean energy? There is no consensus on the answer to that question, however it is undebatable that the plant emits no greenhouse gas emissions.
