Yes. Last year he got paid around $14MM, and they have 4.4 M customers.

$14,000,000 yearly salary / 4,400,000 customers = $3.18 per customer per year. $3.18 / 12 months = $0.265 per customer per month.

He doesn't get paid separately for electric, gas and water customers in 3 states. It's his total salary to run the 358th largest company in the country.

Regulations just get politicized and called red tape in 20 years to a new demo with promises of things getting better if only we can cut that red tape. Then once it's cut it's harder to get back. It should be nationalized and that should be the end of it. Good luck convincing people later that "No I should be able to own that and charge more and make money off something you all need to live." We would look at them like Nestle CEO trying to privatize fresh water in it's entirety.

>You don't want your power company struggling to pay their bills

Oof, someone believes in the tooth fairy of corporate benevolence a little too much.

Much better that the consumer struggles to pay their bill to support the shareholders and feather the nests of the board of directors, right?

Christ.

>there need to be regulations in place that cap the profits these companies can make

There is. There are. Ever notice that their net profits are almost exactly 12% of revenue every single year? Companies that are raking it in are above 20%, and struggling companies are around 5%. They're a nice, happy medium. You don't want your power company struggling to pay their bills, it's how people get killed like with PG&E or Columbia Gas.

Revenue is almost exclusively tied to usage (they have some investments that are outside rates). When you use more, they make more. What direction are all consumer goods going? Electric cars instead of gas, electric lawnmowers instead of gas, electric heat pumps instead of propane or oil, the entire economy is becoming electrified. What did you think was going to happen?

Everyone, please take several seats, calm down and show some respect for Eversource. it's only fair to recognize what Eversource has achieved. In like, the last two months no less.

  1. On Jan 10th 2023, Eversource Again Nationally Recognized among America’s “Most JUST” Companies by JUST Capital and CNBC - This is a little-known, hardly publicized honor that Eversource has received for 4 YEARS IN A ROW!
  • But wait, there's more
  1. JAN 31st 2023 - Eversource Recognized Again for Commitment to Gender Equality
  • and in a double whammy to cement the workplace equality streak of honor
  1. JAN 10th 2023 - Eversource Recognized for Ongoing Commitment to Racial Justice and Workplace Equity -
  • Workplace Equality people! CEO deserves his compensation to double, just the same way everyone on payroll at Eversource saw their compensation double - no doubt.
  1. And last but certainly not least --- ON DEC 7th 2022 - you know what's coming! Eversource Again Ranks as the #1 Utility for Corporate Responsibility by Newsweek

I have no problem paying my parents Eversource Bill, in fact, I actually look forward to it. So again show some respect. In fact, let's start a GoFundMe for the executives, C-suite, and board members for their achievements.

Okay guys, gotta go turn off the lights/get my lamps and candles going before peak usage!
