I'm honored and privileged to lead our talented and diverse team of 9,200 employees.
They delivered electricity, natural gas and water safely and reliably to our 4.4 million customers while navigating challenges beyond our control that affected our company, our industry and our society — ranging from major storms and increasing energy costs to international political turbulence and the ongoing COVID pandemic.
Through this period, Eversource's commitments to the environment, racial and social justice, ethical and responsible business practices, community support and customer service have not wavered.
- Joe Nolan, Eversource President and CEO
