COMMUNITY BENEFITS
Reliability and Affordability
The Worcester Resiliency Upgrade will ensure both reliability and affordability of energy supply for future generations.
With the new capacity, customers will be protected from future weather-related supply disruptions. Further, the project will enhance energy availability to a growing customer base of residents and local businesses. Once the project is completed, residents will benefit from increased accessibility to this energy commodity and are likely to be protected from price spikes associated with severe winter storms.
