Eversource’s networked geothermal neighborhood in Framingham represents a groundbreaking approach to sustainable energy. The pilot project, which connects multiple homes and buildings to a shared geothermal network, aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide a more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly heating and cooling solution, and was made possible by extensive collaboration between state and local government, environmental advocates, and other private sector partners.

“We are thrilled and deeply honored to receive the Community Choice Award from the EBC,” said Nikki Bruno, Eversource Vice President of Clean Technologies. “This award showcases our commitment to decarbonization by pioneering sustainable energy solutions for our customers and highlights the crucial role of collaboration in achieving decarbonization goals as well as environmental excellence. We look forward to continuing our efforts to advance clean energy initiatives and working with partners across New England to make a positive impact on our communities while maximizing the benefits of an unprecedented energy transition for our customers.”

The APEX Awards, highlighting the advancement and promotion of environmental and energy excellence, are presented every June to celebrate leading accomplishments in the industry. From innovative climate change projects to technical excellence in brownfields management and outstanding collaborations to inspiring government leadership, the APEX Awards encourage companies, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and environmental professionals to serve as models for others to emulate, and in doing so, further the mission and objectives of the EBC.

The event gathered leaders from the environmental and energy sectors to celebrate outstanding contributions to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Eversource’s recognition at this event highlights the company's leadership in the energy industry and its commitment to innovative and sustainable practices.
