Energy company tops ACEEE Energy Efficiency Scorecard for the third consecutive time

BOSTON and SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (August 29, 2023) – For the third time in-a-row, Eversource Energy was named the top energy efficiency provider in the country for its programs in Massachusetts according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy’s (ACEEE) Utility Energy Efficiency Scorecard, which every three years ranks the 53 largest energy efficiency providers. The energy company also topped the ACEEE list for its efforts in advancing energy equity—an area included in the scorecards for the first time this year.
 
“We consider it a privilege to be tasked with driving decarbonization of buildings, one of the largest sources of emissions in our region,” said Eversource Vice President for Energy Efficiency and Electric Mobility Tilak Subrahmanian. “Energy efficiency is the best way for our customers to get started on that journey and we appreciate the support from our Regulators in setting the framework and funding for this. We take our role seriously in educating our customers about the benefits, technology, rebates and resources available, and we look forward to connecting as many of our customers as possible with energy efficiency solutions.”

The ACEEE Utility Energy Scorecard is broken down into three main categories focused on program offerings, the performance of programs, and enabling mechanisms focused on equity. The total score awarded reflects both the utility itself and the legislative and regulatory environment where they operate. Eversource scored particularly high for its performance and available programs, as well as for committing to strategic partnerships focused on expanding equitable access to energy efficiency services.
 
In addition to taking the #1 spot for its energy efficiency programs in Massachusetts, Eversource was also recognized for its Connecticut programs, which ranked eighth among the ACEEE scorecards – up two spots from the last list in 2020. ACEEE only considered the 53 largest energy efficiency programs for this ranking, which does not include any energy efficiency programs in New Hampshire.
 

Eversource’s energy efficiency programs help customers across its service territory reduce their energy use through a variety of solutions ranging from rebates for efficient products to incentives for weatherization and heat pump installations to free home energy assessments, which provide customers with a customized list of recommendations to reduce their energy use.
