Closure of Eversource Work Center Delayed

The closing of an Eversource work center in Simsbury has been delayed, reports the Hartford Courant.

In the decision, the state Public Utilities Regulatory Authority postponed the closure until more information is known about the effects of past service center closures.

A report on how the closures have affected service quality is due in October, and following that report, regulators will review whether Eversource should be allowed to close the Simsbury work center.

The company had planned to close the Simsbury center on July 31, but regulators cited limited road access and congested roads as reasons to postpone the closure.

Simsbury town officials previously voiced their concerns about public safety, potentially longer response times, and a negative impact on the town’s economy if the work center closed.
