Eversource Energy ES

Company Overview

Eversource Energy is a regulated electric and natural gas utility holding company operating in the electric transmission, electric distribution, and natural gas distribution industries. The company’s primary business is the delivery of electricity and natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers, with revenue largely derived from regulated rate structures approved by state utility commissions. Eversource serves approximately 4.4 million customers, making it one of the largest utility providers in New England.

The company traces its roots to several legacy utilities dating back more than a century and was formed in its current structure in 2015 through the rebranding and consolidation of Northeast Utilities and its operating companies. Eversource has positioned itself as a regional transmission leader, particularly through its ownership of high-voltage electric transmission assets, which provide relatively stable, rate-based earnings. Its strategic advantage lies in its scale within New England, long-lived regulated assets, and predictable cash flows supported by regulatory frameworks.
