HARTFORD, Conn. & BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–For a second consecutive year, Eversource Energy (NYSE: ES) has been recognized by USA TODAY and Statista Inc. as one of America’s Climate Leaders for 2024.

“We’re deeply honored to receive this prestigious award from USA TODAY affirming our companywide commitment to being responsible stewards of the environment and doing our part to address climate change,” said Eversource Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Nolan. “In support of New England’s goal to realize a decarbonized future, we’re proud to serve as a catalyst for clean energy projects that will lower emissions from the electric, heating and transportation sectors and we play a crucial role in advancing the climate objectives in the states that we operate.
