Abstract
Like with many other utilities throughout the United States, and around the globe the future is in clean energy. At Eversource Energy, our company's vision is to lead our industry in sustainability, which is a critical element of our business today and into the future. To accomplish our target of being an industry leader in clean energy, Eversource has committed to making our operations carbon neutral by 2030. Many factors impact this, including the reliance on sulfur-hexafluoride (SF6) gas as an electric insulator. Specific to this area, a focus needed to be placed on establishing aggressive emission reduction goals and the integration of SF6-free high voltage equipment across our service territory. This paper will focus on the latter as Eversource will provide details on its carbon neutrality efforts, and its collaboration with Hitachi Energy to install the first of its kind, eco-efficient, 420kV EconiQ circuit breaker.
