“We’re proud of our history and our future as New England's energy provider,” said Tom May, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Eversource Energy. “Our new brand represents the commitment of these six historic institutions, and our more than 8,000 employees, who make sure the energy that powers our corner of the world is always there. We are a single, united company with the mission of delivering reliable energy and superior customer service.”
The Eversource brand stands for the company’s resolute commitment to always work to improve and to always make the right energy investments and innovations for customers.

“Energy is what brings us all together and as Eversource, we will proudly continue to meet our promises to our customers,” added May. “Whether it’s heading out in the storm while others head home, or taking care of problems before they arise, with a new name our focus remains the same - powering our region’s homes, businesses, offices, families, neighbors and friends.”

All web log-in information will continue to work and customers will be automatically redirected to Eversource.com if they visit the former operating companies’ websites.
