Eversource recently announced that it is investing $4 million in electric distribution system upgrades in Western Massachusetts including in the towns of Plainfield, Cummington, Chesterfield, Worthington, Windsor, Savoy, and Dalton.
The projects include replacing more than 130 utility poles and installing more than 21,000 feet of more resilient power lines.
“Our job is to ensure customers have the reliable energy they need to run their businesses and power their lives,” Eversource President of Regional Electric Operations Craig Hallstrom said. “By making these strategic investments, like the ones in Western Massachusetts, we’re building a more robust and resilient electric grid that will serve our customers well into the future.”
The company is also installing smart switches, which help restore power outages more quickly and limit the number of customers affected by outages. They enable the company to restore power using computer-assisted technology from its operations center.
