Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court approves Eversource's electric substation construction in East Boston despite resistance.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has approved Eversource's construction of an electric substation in East Boston, despite significant opposition from residents and environmental activists. Critics argue the site poses flood risks and is contaminated. Construction began in January 2023, following a non-binding ballot where 84% of voters opposed the project. Eversource commits to enhancing community engagement in future projects amid ongoing legal challenges.
