“These scorecards help our customers understand how outages impact their area while highlighting some of the critical work we do every day to strengthen our electric system and make it more resilient,” Eversource Vice President of Electric Field Operations Don Scacco said. "Throughout the year, we use this comprehensive reliability data along with strategic cost-benefit analyses to identify where improvements to the system are needed and make targeted investments – like installing automated technology or conducting enhanced tree trimming – that help to reduce outages and restore power faster for customers.
"These scorecards are a clear demonstration of how our everyday efforts to bolster the grid make a tangible difference for customers while also providing real insight into the progress that still needs to be made so that we don’t leave any customer or community behind. That’s why it’s essential that we continue investing in the system and building on local successes so customers can continue experiencing the increased reliability they’ve benefitted from over the last decade, which is fundamental to the success of our communities, economy and state as a whole.”
