Jim Judge, Eversource chairman, president and chief executive officer, stated the company was happy with its financial performance to date, but most thankful for the exceptionally difficult, about-the-clock work employees undertook in mid-October after a severe Nor’easter struck large sections of our electric service territory, particularly southeast Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut. Wind gusts near Cape Cod were clocked at over 90 miles per hour, causing extensive damage to tree cover and distribution lines. Another severe windstorm struck New England on Halloween night, causing extensive damage, particularly in Connecticut.
“We thank our employees for safely and promptly restoring service to our consumers and we thank our consumers for the patience they showed as we went about our work,” Judge stated. “Rising to the challenge posed by extreme weather is a key element of providing the top-tier service our nearly 4M consumers expect from us.”
