Eversource Energy (NYSE:ES) (NYSE: ES) is a publicly traded utility company primarily engaged in the delivery of electricity and natural gas to residential, commercial and industrial customers across the New England region of the United States. The company operates an extensive network of transmission and distribution lines, substations and gas pipelines, serving approximately four million electric customers and over one million natural gas customers in Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire. Eversource is also involved in the development and operation of clean energy generation assets, including solar, wind and energy storage projects, aiming to support grid reliability and reduce carbon emissions across its service territories.
Headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, Eversource traces its roots back more than a century through the consolidation of several regional utilities. In 1966, the company emerged as Northeast Utilities following the merger of multiple power companies serving New England, and in 2015 adopted the Eversource Energy name to reflect its expanded focus on sustainable energy solutions. Since then, Eversource has pursued strategic investments in renewable generation and grid modernization, deploying advanced metering infrastructure, automated grid controls and vegetation management programs to enhance service reliability and resiliency in the face of extreme weather events.
Beyond its core utility operations, Eversource provides a suite of energy efficiency and demand-side management services designed to help customers reduce consumption and lower bills. These offerings include home energy assessments, smart thermostat installations, weatherization rebates and commercial lighting retrofits. The company also partners with local municipalities and regional grid operators on energy resiliency projects, such as microgrid deployments at critical facilities and pilot programs for distributed energy resources like rooftop solar and battery storage.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy C. Cawley, Eversource Energy emphasizes safety, operational excellence and environmental stewardship. The company maintains a board of directors with diverse expertise in energy policy, finance and technology, guiding its long-term strategy to achieve clean energy goals while maintaining affordable and reliable service. Eversource’s executive team includes a Chief Operating Officer responsible for day-to-day utility functions and a Chief Sustainability Officer tasked with overseeing the company’s decarbonization roadmap, reinforcing its commitment to supporting New England’s transition to a low-carbon energy future.
