People Over Energy Profits​
​
Our Campaign
We're a group of local advocacy, environmental, and faith organizations that have banded together in the face of spiking energy bills, dirty corporate utility lobbying, and rising impacts of climate change.
For-profit utility corporations have unfairly saddled families with the burden of increasingly volatile and expensive energy bills. Meanwhile, these corporations are raking in record-high profits and charging us for lobbying, advertising, luxury expenses, and unnecessary polluting fossil fuel projects.
For example, in 2024, Eversource's profits grew by 29% to $291 million, driven by its gas business alone. That same year, Eversource spent over a billion dollars on unnecessary gas pipes and related facilities and charged us for their lobbying, advertising, and luxury expenses. Now, they’re trying to blame energy efficiency and clean energy for high bills!
​
We have the power to hold for-profit utilities accountable while we move towards real solutions that bring our bills down and move us rapidly toward efficient, clean, safe energy to heat and cool our homes. We can push our legislators to prevent the construction of unnecessary and polluting gas infrastructure, close loopholes and increase transparency in utility spending, and make utility corporations’ return on equity just and reasonable.
