Massachusetts residents who get their electricity from Eversource can expect some good news this summer: their utility bills could go down by $40-$58 per month.

New Bedford's landmark 'cigarette' smokestack came down in a scheduled implosion on Friday morning, and Mayor Jon Mitchell caught the moment on video.

Two New Bedford roads will be briefly closed tomorrow afternoon as workers demolish the former Eversource/Sprague power plant on the waterfront.

An explosion caused by a squirrel shorting out an Eversource switch near Alden Road caused a brush fire and widespread power outages in Fairhaven.

Hundreds of households in Wareham lost power before 8 a.m. Wednesday in an outage that an Eversource spokesman said was caused by a nesting osprey.

Power outages caused by downed power lines from strong wind gusts early Tuesday morning are being reported across the SouthCoast.

Power outages in New Bedford early Monday morning saw thousands of residents in the city's South End and other areas lose electricity for reasons that Eversource attributed to equipment issues.

Many SouthCoast residents are still without power today after a nor'easter hammered the region Wednesday — and Eversource said that some could stay that way until Saturday.

The effects from Tropical Storm Henri are being felt in New Bedford and all around the SouthCoast since this morning.

New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell and state and local leaders have announced a massive redevelopment of the former Eversource/Sprague power plant into a staging site for offshore wind projects.
