Environmental Stewardship

Right-of-wayOwning and operating New England’s largest energy delivery system carries with it responsibilities beyond meeting the energy needs of our customers.

This responsibility includes oversight of thousands of acres of rights of way and minimizing our emissions.

The operational activities of our company are conducted with an awareness of the potential environmental impacts created by our infrastructure and regulated generation. 

NU's Environmental Footprint

Acreage:

36,359 acres of transmission rights of way
5,000 acres of reservoirs, lakes and other water bodies
3,000 acres dedicated to wildlife habitat enhancement  
70 acres of land under conservation easements
