EVERSOURCE ENERGY (NYSE:ES) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 1, 2018, the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee (“SEC”) voted to deny Northern Pass’ siting application. Consistent with Eversource Energy’s and Hydro-Québec’s long-term relationship to bring clean energy into New England, Eversource and Hydro-Québec continue to support Northern Pass and the many benefits this project will bring to our customers and region. Eversource intends to seek reconsideration of the SEC’s decision and to review all options for moving this critical clean energy project forward.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by Eversource Energy, The Connecticut Light and Power Company, NSTAR Electric Company or Public Service Company of New Hampshire under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specified otherwise.
