“We’re honored to receive this prestigious recognition from USA TODAY, which is a crowning testament to our leadership in sustainability and being responsible stewards of the environment across the communities we serve,” said Eversource Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Joe Nolan. “These core values are integrated into all that we do for our customers and this recognition demonstrates the strong progress we’re making in reducing our own companywide carbon footprint as we also work to support New England’s clean energy transition with a focus on affordability. We’re proud to do our part to address climate change, and to be recognized as a national industry leader is a gratifying confirmation of how we’re setting the standard for sustainable business practices.”
Eversource’s commitment to sustainability has resulted in landmark clean energy accomplishments, including its first-in-the-nation networked geothermal pilot project in Framingham, Massachusetts and award-winning Outer Cape Battery Energy Storage System in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The energy company has also received numerous independent national recognitions, such as its ranking as the #1 energy efficiency provider in the country, according to the most recent American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) Utility Energy Efficiency Scorecard. Additionally, as part of Massachusetts’ strategic approach to the clean energy transition, Eversource is moving forward with its comprehensive Electric Sector Modernization Plan – a transformative roadmap that paves the way for a modernized electric system that strengthens the grid’s resiliency and reliability for customers while helping to advance the commonwealth’s ambitious decarbonization goals.
