the Company&rsquo;s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company&rsquo;s Board of Trustees (the &ldquo;Board&rdquo;)
for use at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled to be held at the offices of Ropes &amp; Gray LLP, 800 Boylston Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02199 on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at 10:30 AM Eastern Time (the &ldquo;Annual Meeting&rdquo;). This Amendment is being

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The New York Stock Exchange has ruled that Item 5 in the 2023 Proxy
Statement, entitled &ldquo;Approve the increase to the number of Eversource Energy common shares authorized for issuance by the Board
of Trustees in accordance with Section 19 of the Eversource Energy Declaration of Trust from 380,000,000 common shares to 410,000,000
common shares&rdquo; (&ldquo;Item&nbsp;5&rdquo;), is a routine proposal. This Amendment updates the 2023 Proxy Statement to disclose that
brokers holding common shares on behalf of beneficial owners may vote those shares on Item 5 if the broker does not receive voting instructions
from such beneficial owners. The Amendment also makes related minor clarifying changes.</P>

the item, or you may abstain from voting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the item.&rdquo;</P>

the Company&rsquo;s Registrar and Transfer Agent, will count the votes. In determining whether we have a quorum, Computershare counts
all properly submitted proxies and ballots as present and entitled to vote. Because the election of each Trustee requires the affirmative
vote of at least a majority of the common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, broker non-votes and abstentions
with respect to a particular Trustee nominee will have the same effect as a vote against such Trustee nominee. Broker non-votes, abstentions
and votes against are not considered votes cast and will not affect the advisory Say-on-Pay and Say-on-Frequency items or the First Amendment
to the 2018 Incentive Plan item. Because the item to increase the number of authorized common shares requires the affirmative vote of
at least a majority of the common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, abstentions will have the same effect
as a vote against such item. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and will not be counted for or against the item to ratify the selection
of Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP.</P>

of beneficial owners do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial holders. If a broker does not have instructions and is barred
by law or applicable rules from exercising its discretionary voting authority in the particular matter, then the shares will not be voted
on the matter, resulting in a &ldquo;broker non-vote.&rdquo; For our Annual Meeting, this means that absent voting instructions, brokers
are not permitted to vote on the election of Trustees, the non-binding advisory &ldquo;Say-on-Pay&rdquo; and &ldquo;Say-on- Frequency&rdquo;
items, and the First Amendment to the 2018 Incentive Plan item. If your shares are held by a broker and you wish to vote on those items,
you should complete the voting instruction card you receive from the broker or request one from the broker as necessary. You will also
be able to vote these shares by Internet or telephone. A broker may vote on the items to increase the number of authorized common shares
and to ratify the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm if the shareholder does not give instructions.</TD>
