Eversource Vegetation Management Scorecard
SCORECARD FOR TRIMMING AND OUTAGES
Trees are a beautiful and treasured feature of New Hampshire’s landscape, but they can also cause devastating damage when strong storms tear through the state. Because trees are the number one cause of power outages for our customers and public safety issues in our communities, it's critical that we balance the many benefits that trees provide with the need for safe and reliable power.
That's why we've developed a Vegetation Management Town Scorecard to measure the value of our proactive tree work across the state. Our goal is to provide a visual and accessible overview of reliability and the state of our vegetation management efforts in Newport.
The attached scorecard includes important data including reliability data for Eversource customers related to vegetation and the number of emergency calls/blocked roads caused by trees during 2021.
We understand the important role trees play in our communities. At the same time, we’re committed to meeting customer expectations on reliability. We need reliable power and appreciate the opportunity to ensure the safety of our communities.
