Company History
Establishing the Grid
New England's electric power industry, like that of the entire nation, changed dramatically during the past few decades. Until the 1970s, the industry was comprised of utilities that handled every aspect of providing electricity: generating it, transmitting it and then distributing it to homes and businesses. These utilities were regulated local monopolies that operated independently of each other.
