Statement from Governor Hassan on PUC Approval of Eversource Divestiture Agreement

Statement

Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement on the order issued today by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission authorizing the Eversource divestiture agreement:

"As we work to provide our businesses and families with the reliable and affordable energy that they need to grow and prosper, we know that we must continue to work to reduce energy costs while also diversifying our energy sources and protecting our natural resources. Last year, we worked together across party lines to pass bipartisan legislation that facilitated the divestiture agreement with Eversource. I welcome today's order by the Public Utilities Commission to approve the settlement, as it reduces costs to ratepayers and helps avoid costly litigation."
