margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Fair value measurement guidance is applied to derivative contracts that are not elected or designated as "normal purchases or normal sales" (normal) and to the marketable securities held in trusts.  Fair value measurement guidance is also applied to valuations of the investments used to calculate the funded status of pension and PBOP plans&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;, the&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; nonrecurring fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets such as goodwill and AROs, and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;the&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; estimate&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;d&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; fair value of preferred stock and long-term debt.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Fair Value Hierarchy:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;  In measuring fair value, Eversource uses observable market data when available in order to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  Inputs used in fair value measurements are categorized into three fair value hierarchy levels for disclosure purposes.  The entire fair value measurement is categorized based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Eversource evaluates the classification of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a quarterly basis, and Eversource's policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.&amp;#160; Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;Level 2 - Inputs are quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;Level 3 - Quoted market prices are not available.  Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or assumptions are unobservable.  Where possible, valuation techniques incorporate observable market inputs that can be validated to external sources such as industry exchanges, including prices of energy and energy-related products.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Determination of Fair Value:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;

In general, rates can only be changed through formal proceedings with the state regulatory commissions.  The Regulated companies' rates are designed to recover&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; the costs to provide service to their customers, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;and include&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; a return on investment&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;.  The Regulated companies also utilize regulatory commission-approved tracking mechanisms to recover certain costs on a fully-reconciling basis.  These tracking mechanisms require ra&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;tes to be changed periodically to ensure recovery of actual costs incurred&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;CL&amp;amp;P (&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;effective December 1, 2014), &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;WMECO&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; and NSTAR Gas (effective January 1, 2016)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;, &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;each have a &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;regulatory commission approv&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;ed revenue decoupling mechanism&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;.

CL&amp;amp;P and WMECO reconcile their annual base distribution rate recovery to pre-established levels of baseline distribution delivery service revenues.  Any difference between the allowed level of distribution revenue and the actual amount incurred during a 12-month period is adjusted through rates in the following period.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;A significant portion of the Regulated companies' retail revenues &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;relate to the recovery of costs incurred for the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;sale&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; of electricity and natural gas &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;purchased &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;on behalf of customers.

Actual amounts billed to customers when meter readings become available may vary from the estimated amount. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;The Regulated companies estimate unbilled sales monthly using the daily load cycle method.  The daily load cycle method allocates billed sales to the current calendar month based on the daily load for each billing cycle.  The billed sales are subtracted from &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;total month load, net of delivery losses, to estimate unbilled sales.  Unbilled revenues are estimated by first allocating unbilled sales to the respective customer classes, then applying an estimated rate by customer class to those sales. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;The estimate of unbilled revenues can significantly impact the amount of revenues recorded&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; at NSTAR Electric and PSNH because they do not have a revenue decoupling mechanism.

Inputs used in fair value measurements are categorized into three fair value hierarchy levels for disclosure purposes.  The entire fair value measurement is categorized based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  Eversource evaluates the classification of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a quarterly basis, and Eversource's policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.&amp;#160; Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;Level 2 - Inputs are quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:36px;"&gt;Level 3 - Quoted market prices are not available.  Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or assumptions are unobservable.  Where possible, valuation techniques incorporate observable market inputs that can be validated to external sources such as industry exchanges, including prices of energy and energy-related products.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-style:italic;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Determination of Fair Value:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;

included in Property, Plant and Equipment, Net on the balance sheets.  The ARO assets are depreciated, and the ARO liabilities are accreted over the estimated life of the obligation with corresponding credits recorded as accumulated depreciation and ARO liabilities, respectively.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;As the Regulated companies are rate-regulated on a cost-of-service basis, these companies apply regulatory accounting guidance and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;both &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;the &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;depreciation and accretion &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;costs associated with the Regulated companies' AROs are &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;recorded as&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;increases to Regulatory Assets on the balance sheets&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;'&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;The Company values assets based on observable inputs when available.

Commingled funds included in Level 2 equity securities are recorded at the net asset value provided by the asset manager, which is based on the market prices of the underlying equity securities.  Swaps are valued using pricing models that incorporate interest rates and equity and fixed income index closing prices to determine a net present value of the cash flows.  Fixed income securities&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;, such as government issued securities, corporate bonds&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;high yield bond funds&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; are&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; included in Level 2&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; and&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; are valued using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.  The pricing models utilize observable inputs such as recent trades for the same or similar instruments, yield curves, discount margins and bond structures.  Hedge funds and investments in &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;opportunistic fixed income funds &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;are recorded at net asset value based on the values of the underlying assets.

  <us-gaap:DescriptionOfRegulatoryAssetsAndLiabilities id="ID_1639" contextRef="FROM_Jan01_2015_TO_Dec31_2015">Benefit Costs:  Eversource's Pension, SERP and PBOP Plans are accounted for in accordance with accounting guidance on defined benefit pension and other PBOP plans.  The liability recorded by the Regulated companies to recognize the funded status of their retiree benefit plans is offset by a regulatory asset in lieu of a charge to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss), reflecting ultimate recovery from customers through rates.  The regulatory asset is amortized as the actuarial gains and losses and prior service cost are amortized to net periodic benefit cost for the pension and PBOP plans. &amp;#160;All amounts are remeasured annually.  Regulatory accounting is also applied to the portions of Eversource's service company costs that support the Regulated companies, as these amounts are also recoverable.  As these regulatory assets do not represent a cash outlay for the Regulated companies, no carrying charge is recovered from customers.

CL&amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO recover benefit costs related to their distribution and transmission operations from customers in rates as allowed by their applicable regulatory commissions.  NSTAR Electric and WMECO each recover their qualified pension and PBOP expenses related to distribution operations through rate reconciling mechanisms that fully track the change in net pension and PBOP expenses each year.

Derivative Liabilities:  Regulatory assets are recorded as an offset to derivative liabilities and relate to the fair value of contracts used to purchase energy and energy-related products that will be recovered from customers in future rates.  These assets are excluded from rate base and are being recovered as the actual settlements occur over the duration of the contracts.  See Note&amp;#160;4, "Derivative Instruments," to the financial statements for further information on these contracts.

Income Taxes, Net:  The tax effect of temporary book-tax differences (differences between the periods in which transactions affect income in the financial statements and the periods in which they affect the determination of taxable income, including those differences relating to uncertain tax positions) is accounted for in accordance with the rate-making treatment of the applicable regulatory commissions and accounting guidance for income taxes.  Differences in income taxes between the accounting guidance and the rate-making treatment of the applicable regulatory commissions are recorded as regulatory assets.  As these assets are offset by deferred income tax liabilities, no carrying charge is collected.  The amortization period of these assets varies depending on the nature and/or remaining life of the underlying assets and liabilities.  &amp;#160;For further information regarding income taxes, see Note 10, "Income Taxes," to the financial statements.

Storm Restoration Costs:  The storm restoration cost deferrals relate to costs incurred for major storm events at CL&amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO that each company expects to recover from customers.  A storm must meet certain criteria to qualify as a major storm with the criteria specific to each state jurisdiction and utility company.  Once a storm qualifies as a major storm, all qualifying expenses incurred during storm restoration efforts are deferred and recovered from customers.  In addition to storm restoration costs, CL&amp;P and PSNH are each allowed to recover pre-staging storm costs.  Of the total deferred storm restoration costs, $197 million is pending regulatory approval (including $106 million at NSTAR Electric, $61 million at PSNH, and $30 million at WMECO).  Management believes the storm restoration costs were prudent and meet the criteria for specific cost recovery in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and that recovery from customers is probable through the applicable regulatory recovery process.  Each electric utility has sought, or is seeking, recovery of its deferred storm restoration costs through its applicable regulatory recovery process.    Each electric utility company earns a return on its deferred storm restoration cost regulatory asset balance.

Goodwill-related:  The goodwill regulatory asset originated from a 1999 merger transaction and the DPU allowed its recovery in NSTAR Electric and NSTAR Gas rates.  This regulatory asset is currently being amortized and recovered from customers in rates without a carrying charge over a 40-year period, and, as of December 31, 2015, there were 24 years of amortization remaining.

Regulatory Tracker Mechanisms:  The Regulated companies&amp;#8217; approved rates are designed to recover their costs incurred to provide service to customers.  The Regulated companies recover certain of their costs on a fully-reconciling basis through regulatory commission-approved tracking mechanisms.  The differences between the costs incurred (or the rate recovery allowed) and the actual revenues are recorded as regulatory assets (for undercollections) or as regulatory liabilities (for overcollections) to be included in future customer rates each year.  Carrying charges are recorded on all material regulatory tracker mechanisms.

CL&amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO each recover, on a fully reconciling basis, the costs associated with the procurement of energy, transmission related costs from FERC-approved transmission tariffs, energy efficiency programs (including LBR at NSTAR Electric), low income assistance programs, certain uncollectible accounts receivable for hardship customers, and restructuring and stranded costs as a result of deregulation.  Energy procurement costs at PSNH include the costs related to its generating stations and at WMECO include the costs related to its solar generation.

CL&amp;P (effective December 1, 2014) and WMECO each have a regulatory commission approved revenue decoupling mechanism.  Distribution revenues are decoupled from customer sales volumes, which breaks the relationship between sales volumes and revenues recognized.  CL&amp;P and WMECO reconcile their annual base distribution rate recovery to pre-established levels of baseline distribution delivery service revenues.  Any difference between the allowed level of distribution revenue and the actual amount received during a 12-month period is adjusted through rates in the following period.  CL&amp;P and WMECO's revenue decoupling mechanisms permit recovery of an annual base amount of distribution revenues of $1.059 billion and $132.4 million, respectively.

Contractual Obligations - Yankee Companies:  CL&amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO are responsible for their proportionate share of the remaining costs of the CYAPC, YAEC and MYAPC nuclear facilities, including nuclear fuel storage.  A portion of these costs was recorded as a regulatory asset.  Amounts for CL&amp;P are earning a return and are being recovered through the CTA.  Amounts for NSTAR Electric and WMECO are being recovered without a return through the transition charge.  Amounts for PSNH were fully recovered in 2006.  As a result of Eversource's consolidation of CYAPC and YAEC, Eversource's regulatory asset balance also includes the regulatory assets of CYAPC and YAEC, which totaled $110.9 million and $97.8 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Intercompany transactions between CL&amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO and the CYAPC and YAEC companies have been eliminated in consolidation of the Eversource financial statements.

Other Regulatory Assets:  Other Regulatory Assets primarily include asset retirement obligations, environmental remediation costs, losses associated with the reacquisition or redemption of long-term debt, purchase power contract termination costs and various other items.

Regulatory Costs in Other Long-Term Assets:  The Regulated companies had $75.3 million (including $3.1 million for CL&amp;P, $35.4 million for NSTAR Electric, $4.8 million for PSNH and $16.7 million for WMECO) and $60.5 million (including $1.3 million for CL&amp;P, $33.2 million for NSTAR Electric, $0.9 million for PSNH, and $11 million for WMECO) of additional regulatory costs as of December&amp;#160;31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, that were included in Other Long-Term Assets on the balance sheets.  These amounts represent incurred costs for which recovery has not yet been specifically approved by the applicable regulatory agency.  However, based on regulatory policies or past precedent on similar costs, management believes it is probable that these costs will ultimately be approved and recovered from customers in rates.  The NSTAR Electric balance as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 primarily related to the deferral of certain bad debt costs expected to be recovered in future rates.

Equity Return on Regulatory Assets:  For rate-making purposes, the Regulated companies recover the carrying costs related to their regulatory assets.  For certain regulatory assets, the carrying cost recovered includes an equity return component.  This equity return, which is not recorded on the balance sheets, totaled $1.5 million and $1.7 million for CL&amp;P as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  These carrying costs will be recovered from customers in future rates.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, this equity return, which is not recorded on the balance sheets, totaled $48.3 million and $43.3 million, respectively, for PSNH.  These amounts include $25 million of equity return on the Clean Air Project costs that PSNH has agreed not to bill customers pending NHPUC approval of a generation divestiture settlement agreement.  For further information on the divestiture, see Note 11H, "Commitments and Contingencies &amp;#8211; PSNH Generation Restructuring."

Regulatory Liabilities:  The components of regulatory liabilities were as follows:
Cost of Removal:  Eversource's Regulated companies currently recover amounts in rates for future costs of removal of plant assets over the lives of the assets.  The estimated cost to remove utility assets from service is recognized as a component of depreciation expense and the cumulative amount collected from customers but not yet expended is recognized as a regulatory liability.  Expended costs that exceed amounts collected from customers are recognized as regulatory assets, as they are probable of recovery in future rates.

AFUDC - Transmission:  Regulatory liabilities were recorded by CL&amp;P and WMECO for AFUDC accrued on certain reliability-related transmission projects to reflect local rate base recovery as a result of a FERC-approved transmission tariff.  A regulatory liability was recorded by NSTAR Electric for AFUDC accrued on certain reliability-related transmission projects through December 31, 2015 to reflect local rate base recovery.  These regulatory liabilities for CL&amp;P, NSTAR Electric and WMECO will be amortized over the depreciable life of the related transmission assets.</us-gaap:DescriptionOfRegulatoryAssetsAndLiabilities>

  <us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureOfRegulatoryMattersPending id="ID_1691" contextRef="FROM_Jan01_2015_TO_Dec31_2015">2015 Regulatory Developments:
FERC ROE Complaints:  As a result of the actions taken by the FERC and other developments in the pending ROE complaint proceedings described in Note 11E, "Commitments and Contingencies &amp;#8211; FERC ROE Complaints," Eversource recorded reserves for the first and second ROE complaints, which were recorded as a regulatory liability and as a reduction to operating revenues.  The cumulative pre-tax reserves (excluding interest) as of December 31, 2015, which include the impact of refunds given to customers, totaled $39.1 million for Eversource (including $21.4 million for CL&amp;P, $8.5 million for NSTAR Electric, $3.1 million for PSNH, and $6.1 million for WMECO).

NSTAR Electric and NSTAR Gas Comprehensive Settlement Agreement:  On March 2, 2015, the DPU approved the comprehensive settlement agreement between NSTAR Electric, NSTAR Gas and the Massachusetts Attorney General (the "Settlement") as filed with the DPU on December&amp;#160;31, 2014.  The Settlement resolved the outstanding NSTAR Electric CPSL program filings for 2006 through 2011, the NSTAR Electric and NSTAR Gas PAM and energy efficiency-related customer billing adjustments reported in 2012, and the recovery of LBR related to NSTAR Electric's energy efficiency programs for 2009 through 2011 (11 dockets in total).  In 2015, as a result of the DPU order, NSTAR Electric and NSTAR Gas commenced refunding a combined $44.7 million to customers, which was recorded as a regulatory liability.  Refunds to customers will continue through December 2016.  As a result of the Settlement, NSTAR Electric increased its operating revenues and decreased its amortization expense in 2015, resulting in the recognition of a $21.7 million pre-tax benefit in 2015.

NSTAR Electric Basic Service Bad Debt Adder:  On January 7, 2015, the DPU issued an order concluding that NSTAR Electric had removed energy-related bad debt costs from base distribution rates effective January 1, 2006.  As a result of the DPU order, in the first quarter of 2015, NSTAR Electric increased its regulatory assets and reduced its operations and maintenance expense by an under recovered amount of $24.2 million for energy-related bad debt costs through 2014, resulting in a pre-tax benefit in 2015.  NSTAR Electric filed for recovery of the energy-related bad debt costs regulatory asset from customers and on November 20, 2015 the DPU approved NSTAR Electric&amp;#8217;s proposed rate increase to recover these costs over a 12-month period, effective January 1, 2016.

CL&amp;P Distribution Rates:  On July 2, 2015, PURA issued a final order that approved a settlement agreement filed on May 19, 2015, which allows for an increase to rate base of approximately $163 million associated with ADIT, including a regulatory asset to recover the incremental revenue requirement for the period December 1, 2014 through November&amp;#160;30, 2015 over a subsequent 24-month period.  The rate base increase provided an increase to total allowed annual revenue requirements of $18.4 million beginning December 1, 2014.  As part of the settlement agreement, the $18.4 million for the period December 1, 2014 through November 30, 2015 was recorded as a regulatory asset with a corresponding increase in Operating Revenues, and is being collected from customers in rates over a 24-month period beginning December 1, 2015.

NSTAR Gas Distribution Rates:  On October 30, 2015, the DPU issued its order in the NSTAR Gas distribution rate case, which approved an annualized base rate increase of $15.8 million, plus other increases of approximately $11.5 million, mostly relating to recovery of pension and PBOP expenses and the Hopkinton GSA, effective January 1, 2016.  In the order, the DPU also approved an authorized regulatory ROE of 9.8 percent, the establishment of a revenue decoupling mechanism, the recovery of certain bad debt expenses, and a 52.1 percent equity component of its capital structure.  On November 19, 2015, NSTAR Gas filed a motion for reconsideration of the order with the DPU seeking the correction of mathematical errors and other plant and cost of service items.

As a result of this order, Eversource recorded regulatory deferrals for costs that have been approved for recovery or are expected to be approved for recovery in future rate proceedings, which resulted in the recognition of a $17.2 million pre-tax benefit in 2015.  Included in this amount is a $10.5 million pre-tax benefit recorded at NSTAR Electric for certain uncollectible hardship accounts receivable that are expected to be recovered in future rates given the allowed recoveries of uncollectible hardship accounts receivable by WMECO and NSTAR Gas.</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureOfRegulatoryMattersPending>

  <us-gaap:PropertyPlantAndEquipmentDepreciationMethods id="ID_1693" contextRef="FROM_Jan01_2015_TO_Dec31_2015">Utility property, plant and equipment is recorded at original cost.  Original cost includes materials, labor, construction overhead and AFUDC for regulated property.  The cost of repairs and maintenance, including planned major maintenance activities, is charged to Operating Expenses as incurred.
As of December 31, 2015, PSNH had $1.2 billion in gross generation utility plant assets and related Accumulated Depreciation of $522.4 million.  These generation assets are the subject of a divestiture agreement entered into on June 10, 2015 between Eversource, PSNH and key New Hampshire officials whereby, among other resolutions, PSNH has agreed to divest these generation assets upon NHPUC approval.  Upon completion of the divestiture process, remaining costs not recovered by the sale of these assets (stranded costs) will be recovered via bonds that will be secured by a non-bypassable charge or other recovery mechanisms in rates billed to PSNH&amp;#8217;s customers.  See Note 11H, &amp;#8220;Commitments and Contingencies &amp;#8211; PSNH Generation Restructuring,&amp;#8221; for further information.

Depreciation of utility assets is calculated on a straight-line basis using composite rates based on the estimated remaining useful lives of the various classes of property (estimated useful life for PSNH distribution).  The composite rates, which are subject to approval by the appropriate state regulatory agency, include a cost of removal component (other than PSNH Generation), which is collected from customers over the lives of the plant assets and is recognized as a regulatory liability.  Depreciation rates are applied to property from the time it is placed in service.

Upon retirement from service, the cost of the utility asset is charged to the accumulated provision for depreciation.  The actual incurred removal costs are applied against the related regulatory liability.</us-gaap:PropertyPlantAndEquipmentDepreciationMethods>

Prices are obtained from broker quotes and are based on actual market activity.  The contracts are valued using NYMEX natural gas prices.  Valuations of these contracts also incorporate discount rates using the yield curve approach.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;The fair value of derivative contracts classified as Level 3 utilizes significant unobservable inputs.  The fair value is modeled using income techniques, such as discounted cash flow valuations adjusted for assumptions relating to exit price.  Significant observable inputs for valuations of these contracts include energy and energy-related product prices in future years for which quoted prices in an active market exist.  Fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are prepared by individuals with expertise in valuation techniques, pricing of energy and energy-related products, and accounting requirements.  The future power and capacity prices for periods that are not quoted in an active market or established at auction are based on available market data and are escalated based on estimates of inflation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; in order&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; to address the full time period of the contract.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Valuations of derivative contracts using a discounted cash flow methodology include assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of scheduled payments and also reflect non-performance risk, including credit, using the default probability approach based on the counterparty's credit rating for assets and the Company's credit rating for liabilities.  Valuations incorporate estimates of premiums or discounts that would be required by a market participant to arrive at an exit price, using historical market transactions adjusted for the terms of the contract.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt;

As a result of the NHPUC having jurisdiction over PSNH's short-term debt, PSNH is not currently required to obtain FERC approval for its short-term borrowings.

The impact of adopting the updated mortality tables on Eversource's liability as of December 31, 2014 was an increase of approximately $340 million.  In 2015, a revised scale for the mortality table was released having the effect of decreasing the estimate of benefits to be provided to plan participants.

The updated mortality tables released in 2014 increased the life expectancy of plan participants by three to five years and had the effect of increasing the estimated benefits to be provided to plan participants.  The impact of adopting the updated mortality tables on Eversource's liability as of December 31, 2014 was an increase of approximately $82 million.  In 2015, a revised scale for the mortality table was released having the effect of decreasing the estimate of benefits to be provided to plan participants.

This extended stimulus provides Eversource with cash flow benefits in 2016 of approximately $275 million (including approximately $105 million for CL&amp;P, $72 million for NSTAR Electric, $46 million for PSNH, and $25 million for WMECO) due to a refund of taxes paid in 2015 and lower expected tax payments in 2016 of approximately $300 million.

2015 Connecticut Legislation: In 2015, the state of Connecticut enacted several changes to its corporate tax laws.  Among the changes, commencing as of January 1, 2015, is the reduction in the amount of tax credits that corporations can utilize against its tax liability in a year and a continuation of the corporate income tax surcharge through 2018, which effectively increases the state corporate tax rate to 9 percent for the years 2016 and 2017 and 8.25 percent for 2018.  Also, effective January 1, 2016, all Connecticut companies have a mandatory unitary tax filing requirement.  Management continues to review the tax law changes and their impact on the effective tax rates of Eversource and CL&amp;P.</us-gaap:OtherInformationPertainingToIncomeTaxes>

margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Three separate complaints have been filed at FERC by combinations of New England state attorneys general, state regulatory commissions, consumer advocates, consumer groups, municipal parties and other parties (the "Complainants").  In the first complaint, filed in 2011, the Complainants alleged that the NETOs' base ROE that had been utilized since 2006 was unjust and unreasonable, asserted that the rate was excessive due to changes in the capital markets, and sought an order to reduce it prospectively from the date of the final FERC order and for the 15-month period beginning October 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012.  In the second and third complaints, filed in 2012 and 2014, the Complainants challenged the NETOs' base ROE and sought refunds for the respective 15-month periods beginning December&amp;#160;27, 2012 and July&amp;#160;31, 2014. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;As a result of the actions taken by the FERC and &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;ot&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;her developments in the first complaint matter, the Company recorded additional reserves at its electric subsidiaries in 2015 and 2014.  In 2015, Eversource recognized a pre-tax charge to earnings (excluding interest) of $20 million, of which $12.5 million was recorded at CL&amp;amp;P, $2.4 million at NSTAR Electric, $1 million at PSNH, and $4.1 million at WMECO.  The pre-tax charge was recorded as a regulatory liability and as a reduction to Operating Revenues.

The Agreement was filed with the NHPUC on the same day.  Under the terms of the Agreement, PSNH has agreed to divest its generation assets upon NHPUC approval.  The Agreement is designed to provide a resolution of issues pertaining to PSNH's generation a&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;ssets in pending regulatory proceedings before the NHPUC.  The Agreement provided for the Clean Air Project prudence proceeding to be resolved and all remaining Clean Air Project costs to be included in rates effective January 1, 2016.  As part of the Agreement, PSNH has agreed to forego recovery of $25 million of the deferred equity return related to the Clean Air Project.  In addition, PSNH will not seek a general distribution rate increase effective before July&amp;#160;1, 2017 and will contribute $5 million to create a clean energy fund, which will not be recoverable from its customers.  In 2015, PSNH recorded the $5 million contribution as a long-term liability and an increase to Operations and Maintenance expense on the statements of income.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Upon completion of the divestiture process, all remaining stranded costs will be recovered via bonds that will be secured by a non-&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;bypassable&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; charge or through other recoveries in rates billed to PSNH customers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;On January 26, 2016, Advisory Staff of the NHPUC and the parties to the Agreement filed a stipulation with the NHPUC agreeing that near-term divestiture of PSNH's generation was in the public interest and that the Agreement should be approved.  Implementation of the Agreement is subject to NHPUC approval, which is expected in early 2016. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;If the NHPUC approves the settlements and the sale of the plants, then &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;management&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; expect&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;s&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt; to sell the plants in the first half of 2017.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;The sales price of the generating assets could be less than the carrying value, but we believe that full recovery of PSNH's generation assets is probable through a combination of cash flows during the remaining operating period, sales proceeds upon divestiture, and recovery of stranded costs in future rates. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0px;"&gt;I&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Litigation and Legal Proceedings &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Eversource&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;, including CL&amp;amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO, are involved in legal, tax and regulatory proceedings regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business, which involve management's assessment to determine the probability of whether a loss will occur and, if probable, its best estimate of probable loss.

  <us-gaap:SiteContingencyEnvironmentalRemediationCostsRecognized id="ID_3680" contextRef="FROM_Jan01_2015_TO_Dec31_2015">CERCLA:  Of the total environmental sites, nine sites (four for NSTAR Electric and three for PSNH) are superfund sites under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and its amendments or state equivalents for which the Company has been notified that it is a potentially responsible party but for which the site assessment and remediation are not being managed by the Company. &amp;#160;As of December 31, 2015, a liability of $0.8 million accrued on these sites represents management's best estimate of its potential remediation costs with respect to these superfund sites.
Included in the Eversource number of sites and reserve amounts above are former MGP sites that were operated several decades ago and manufactured gas from coal and other processes, which resulted in certain by-products remaining in the environment that may pose a potential risk to human health and the environment, for which Eversource may have potential liability. The reserve balances related to these former MGP sites were $45.5 million and $38.8 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and related primarily to the natural gas business segment.

As of December&amp;#160;31, 2015, for 9 environmental sites (3 for CL&amp;P, 1 for WMECO) that are included in the Company's reserve for environmental costs, the information known and the nature of the remediation options allow for the Company to estimate the range of losses for environmental costs.  As of December 31, 2015, $24.7 million (including $1.7 million for CL&amp;P and $0.3 million for WMECO) had been accrued as a liability for these sites, which represents the low end of the range of the liabilities for environmental costs.  Management believes that additional losses of up to approximately $33.9 million (approximately $1.4 million for CL&amp;P, and $0.1 million for WMECO) may be incurred in remediating these sites.

As of December 31, 2015, for 12 environmental sites (3 for CL&amp;P and 2 for NSTAR Electric) that are included in the Company&amp;#8217;s reserve for environmental costs, management cannot reasonably estimate the exposure to loss in excess of the reserve, or range of loss, as these sites are under investigation and/or there is significant uncertainty as to what remedial actions, if any, the Company may be required to undertake.  As of December 31, 2015, $13.7 million (including $2 million for CL&amp;P) had been accrued as a liability for these sites.  As of December 31, 2015, for the remaining 43 environmental sites (including 8 for CL&amp;P, 13 for NSTAR Electric, 12 for PSNH, and 3  for WMECO) that are included in the Company&amp;#8217;s reserve for environmental costs, the $12.7 million accrual (including $0.9 million for CL&amp;P, $2.4 million for NSTAR Electric, $4.5 million for PSNH, and $0.3 million for WMECO) represents management&amp;#8217;s best estimate of the potential liability and no additional loss is anticipated at this time.</us-gaap:SiteContingencyEnvironmentalRemediationCostsRecognized>

E. &amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;FERC ROE Complaints
Three separate complaints have been filed at FERC by combinations of New England state attorneys general, state regulatory commissions, consumer advocates, consumer groups, municipal parties and other parties (the "Complainants").  In the first complaint, filed in 2011, the Complainants alleged that the NETOs' base ROE that had been utilized since 2006 was unjust and unreasonable, asserted that the rate was excessive due to changes in the capital markets, and sought an order to reduce it prospectively from the date of the final FERC order and for the 15-month period beginning October 1, 2011 to December 31, 2012.  In the second and third complaints, filed in 2012 and 2014, the Complainants challenged the NETOs' base ROE and sought refunds for the respective 15-month periods beginning December&amp;#160;27, 2012 and July&amp;#160;31, 2014.

As a result of the actions taken by the FERC and other developments in the first complaint matter, the Company recorded additional reserves at its electric subsidiaries in 2015 and 2014.  In 2015, Eversource recognized a pre-tax charge to earnings (excluding interest) of $20 million, of which $12.5 million was recorded at CL&amp;P, $2.4 million at NSTAR Electric, $1 million at PSNH, and $4.1 million at WMECO.  The pre-tax charge was recorded as a regulatory liability and as a reduction to Operating Revenues.  In 2014, the net aggregate pre-tax charge to earnings (excluding interest) totaled $37 million, of which $20.7 million was recorded at CL&amp;P, $7.9 million at NSTAR Electric, $2.8 million at PSNH and $5.6 million at WMECO.  In 2013, the net aggregate pre-tax charge to earnings (excluding interest) totaled $23.7 million, of which $12.8 million was recorded at CL&amp;P, $5.7 million at NSTAR Electric, $2.3 million at PSNH and $2.9 million at WMECO.

The second and third complaint proceedings are ongoing and a final FERC order is expected in late 2016 or early 2017.  Although management is uncertain on the final outcome of the second and third complaints regarding the ROE, management believes the current reserves established are appropriate to reflect probable and reasonably estimable refunds.
F.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;NSTAR Electric and NSTAR Gas Comprehensive Settlement Agreement
On March 2, 2015, the DPU approved the comprehensive settlement agreement between NSTAR Electric, NSTAR Gas and the Massachusetts Attorney General (the "Settlement") as filed with the DPU on December&amp;#160;31, 2014.  The Settlement resolved the outstanding NSTAR Electric CPSL program filings for 2006 through 2011, the NSTAR Electric and NSTAR Gas PAM and energy efficiency-related customer billing adjustments reported in 2012, and the recovery of LBR related to NSTAR Electric's energy efficiency programs for 2009 through 2011 (11 dockets in total).  In the first quarter of 2015, as a result of the DPU order, NSTAR Electric and NSTAR Gas commenced refunding a combined $44.7 million to customers, which was recorded as a regulatory liability.  Refunds to customers will continue through December 2016.  As a result of the Settlement, NSTAR Electric increased its operating revenues and decreased its amortization expense in 2015, resulting in the recognition of a $21.7 million pre-tax benefit in 2015.

G.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;NSTAR Electric Basic Service Bad Debt Adder
On January 7, 2015, the DPU issued an order concluding that NSTAR Electric had removed energy-related bad debt costs from base distribution rates effective January 1, 2006.  As a result of the DPU order, in the first quarter of 2015, NSTAR Electric increased its regulatory assets and reduced its operations and maintenance expense by an under recovered amount of $24.2 million for energy-related bad debt costs through 2014, resulting in a pre-tax benefit in 2015.  NSTAR Electric filed for recovery of the energy-related bad debt costs regulatory asset from customers and on November 20, 2015the DPU approved NSTAR Electric&amp;#8217;s proposed rate increase, to recover these costs over a 12-month period, effective January 1, 2016.

H.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;PSNH Generation Restructuring
On June 10, 2015, Eversource and PSNH entered into the 2015 Public Service Company of New Hampshire Restructuring and Rate Stabilization Agreement (the Agreement) with the New Hampshire Office of Energy and Planning, certain members of the NHPUC staff, the Office of Consumer Advocate, two State Senators, and several other parties.  The Agreement was filed with the NHPUC on the same day.  Under the terms of the Agreement, PSNH has agreed to divest its generation assets upon NHPUC approval.  The Agreement is designed to provide a resolution of issues pertaining to PSNH's generation assets in pending regulatory proceedings before the NHPUC.  The Agreement provided for the Clean Air Project prudence proceeding to be resolved and all remaining Clean Air Project costs to be included in rates effective January 1, 2016.  As part of the Agreement, PSNH has agreed to forego recovery of $25 million of the deferred equity return related to the Clean Air Project.  In addition, PSNH will not seek a general distribution rate increase effective before July&amp;#160;1, 2017 and will contribute $5 million to create a clean energy fund, which will not be recoverable from its customers.  In 2015, PSNH recorded the $5 million contribution as a long-term liability and an increase to Operations and Maintenance expense on the statements of income.

Upon completion of the divestiture process, all remaining stranded costs will be recovered via bonds that will be secured by a non-bypassable charge or through other recoveries in rates billed to PSNH customers.

On January 26, 2016, Advisory Staff of the NHPUC and the parties to the Agreement filed a stipulation with the NHPUC agreeing that near-term divestiture of PSNH&amp;#8217;s generation was in the public interest and that the Agreement should be approved.  Implementation of the Agreement is subject to NHPUC approval, which is expected in early 2016.

If the NHPUC approves the settlements and the sale of the plants, then management expects to sell the plants in the first half of 2017.  The sales price of the generating assets could be less than the carrying value, but we believe that full recovery of PSNH's generation assets is probable through a combination of cash flows during the remaining operating period, sales proceeds upon divestiture, and recovery of stranded costs in future rates.

Eversource, including CL&amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO, are involved in legal, tax and regulatory proceedings regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business, which involve management's assessment to determine the probability of whether a loss will occur and, if probable, its best estimate of probable loss.  The Company records and discloses losses when these losses are probable and reasonably estimable, and discloses matters when losses are probable but not estimable or when losses are reasonably possible.  Legal costs related to the defense of loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.</us-gaap:LossContingencyManagementsAssessmentAndProcess>

These reportable segments represent substantially all of Eversource's total consolidated revenues.  Revenues from the sale of electricity and natural gas primarily are derived from residential, commercial and industrial customers and are not dependent on any single customer.  The Electric Distribution reportable segment includes the generation activities of PSNH and WMECO.  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;The remainder of Eversource's operations is presented as Other in the tables below and primarily consists of 1) the equity in earnings of Eversource parent from its subsidiaries and intercompany interest income, both of which are eliminated in consolidation, and interest expense related to the debt of Eversource parent, 2) the revenues and expenses of Eversource Service, most of which are eliminated in consolidation, 3) the operations of CYAPC and YAEC, 4) the results of Eversource Gas Transmission LLC and 5) the results of other unregulated subsidiaries, which ar&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;"&gt;e not part of its core business.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Cash flows used for investments in plant included in the segment information below are cash capital expenditures that do not include amounts incurred but not paid, cost of removal, AFUDC related to equity funds, and the capitalized portions of pension expense.   &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:9pt;margin-left:0px;"&gt;Eversource's reportable segments are determined based upon the level at which Eversource's chief operating decision maker assesses performance and makes decisions about the allocation of company resources.  Each of Eversource's subsidiaries, including CL&amp;amp;P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO, has one reportable segment.  Eversource's operating segments and reporting units are consistent with its reportable business segments.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='margin-top:0pt;
