Eversource Energy (ES)

Electric and gas utility with a service company. Read October 19, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 17, 2026. Ranked 2 of the 27 Utilities companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

Eversource states 10,731 employees at December 31, 2025, 1,554 at CL&P, 2,164 at NSTAR Electric, 802 at PSNH and 4,495 at Eversource Service, the service company, so the electric companies take their counts, the stated service company count goes to management of companies under rule 6, and the remaining 1,716 at the gas and water companies are read by subtraction (a).

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 24% now, 42% at the end of 2027, 51% at the end of 2028, 54% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 54% desk work, 18% people work and 27% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 43% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 46% becomes checking a model's work and 7% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
