Eversource Energy is a regulated utility holding company headquartered in Boston and Hartford that operates primarily through wholly-owned subsidiaries providing electric distribution, electric transmission, natural gas distribution, and water utility services across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The company's electric distribution segment, comprising Connecticut Light and Power, NSTAR Electric, and Public Service Company of New Hampshire, serves residential, commercial, and industrial customers through regulated rate structures that separate energy supply costs (passed through without markup), local delivery charges (which generate returns on infrastructure investments), public benefits charges, and transmission costs. The natural gas distribution segment includes NSTAR Gas, Eversource Gas Company of Massachusetts, and Yankee Gas, serving similar customer classes across Massachusetts and Connecticut, while the water distribution segment operates through Aquarion Company's five regulated water utility subsidiaries. Eversource does not own generation assets for its electric distribution business; instead, it procures power competitively for customers on standard service and supplier-of-last-resort rates, with approximately 50 percent of load served at these regulated rates and 50 percent served by competitive suppliers. The company's transmission business operates high-voltage infrastructure across New England under FERC regulation, and its business model is characterized by stable, regulated cost-recovery mechanisms with limited earnings volatility on pass-through components, though returns are earned on distribution, transmission, and water infrastructure investments. The company maintains a five-year capital investment plan focused on grid modernization, system resiliency, reliability improvements, and infrastructure replacement to support electrification and load growth across its service territories.
【Infrastructure-led earnings inflection】 Management expects meaningful acceleration in earnings growth beginning in 2027 and 2028, driven by recovery of deferred storm costs through securitization, completion of regulatory proceedings including the Connecticut Light and Power rate case, and continued distribution rate increases from performance-based regulation mechanisms in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The company anticipates that 2026 will reflect transitory headwinds from timing of regulatory outcomes, including potential Aquarion sale impacts and storm cost recovery delays, but views these as temporary obstacles to an otherwise strong underlying business trajectory. Capital investments totaling $26.5 billion over the five-year period through 2030 are expected to support system reliability, address growing electric demand driven by electrification and data center growth, and enable the clean energy transition, with particular emphasis on transmission infrastructure and grid modernization projects. Management remains confident in delivering earnings growth toward the upper half of its 5–7 percent long-term target by 2028, supported by disciplined operational execution, strict cost management, and constructive regulatory frameworks that enable timely recovery of infrastructure investments.
