Eversource News Release
Preferences ensure customers will receive convenient, on-the-go updates

New customer communications initiative

MANCHESTER, N.H. (December 20, 2016) – Just as Eversource works to improve and modernize the electric system, the company is always exploring new ways to enhance its communications with customers. This month, the company is rolling out a new enhancement that ensures customers can personalize how they receive important outage information and updates by selecting their preferred method of contact.

“We live in the information age, with everyone balancing busy lives. We’re excited to offer the ability to choose the method of communication that’s most convenient and effective for each individual customer,” said Penni Conner, Chief Customer Officer and Senior Vice President at Eversource. “Our new options will help ensure customers receive on-the-go updates with timely information about outages in their community.”

To initiate the new process, Eversource used information on file to pre-enroll customers to receive updates by text message, email, or phone. To personalize which approach works best for customers, a one-step log-in to their account at Eversource.com allows everyone to select the method of communication that fits best with their lifestyle.

If there is an unplanned outage, Eversource will use a customer’s preferred method of communication to provide important updates throughout the restoration process, including when the outage began; what caused it; and an estimate of when power is expected to be restored. Customers will also receive notifications of impending storms or inclement weather that could impact the electric system, as well as helpful updates detailing the company’s efforts to prepare for potential power outages.
