Description: ES Eversource Energy

Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES) is a U.S. public utility holding company headquartered in Springfield, Massachusetts, that operates regulated energy delivery businesses through four segments: Electric Distribution, Electric Transmission, Natural Gas Distribution, and Water Distribution. In addition to transmitting and distributing electricity and natural gas, the company owns solar power facilities and operates regulated water utilities serving residential, commercial, industrial, municipal, and fire protection customers across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The company was incorporated in 1927 and was formerly known as Northeast Utilities before adopting its current name in April 2015.

As a multi-utility holding company in the GICS Utilities sector, Eversources operations are largely rate-regulated by state public utilities commissions, which approve the rates utilities charge customers and the returns they earn on infrastructure investments. The combination of electric, natural gas, and water service under one corporate structure is relatively uncommon in the U.S. utility sector and provides some diversification across customer classes and weather-related demand patterns within its New England footprint.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • Connecticut rate case approval boosts allowed return on equity
  • Transmission rate base expands with grid modernization investments
  • Higher interest expenses pressure utility capital project returns
