“The Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence Award reflects Eversource’s commitment to being a catalyst for a clean energy future and increasing access to these critical energy-saving programs for all customers across our entire service territory in New England,” said Eversource Executive Vice President of Customer Experience and Energy Strategy Penni Conner. “Our partnership with ENERGY STAR combines high-efficiency products with effective incentive programs to help lower energy bills, reduce energy use and improve environmental impacts to the benefit of all customers.
