From your first response;

>Eversource does not make any profit off of delivery.

If you were educated and knew what you were talking about you would know that since generation and delivery were decoupled Eversource cannot mark up generation services they do not perform and ALL of their profit would come from delivery.
Eversource, however, has many subsidiaries which are involved in various aspects of natural gas supply, electricity generation and market pricing in addition to delivery of power and gas etc..
In the mid 2010's there was huge backlash when it was revealed that Eversource was still generating and selling power and at a substantial markup through some of their subsidiaries whom owned power plants. This forced Eversource to auction and sell off those plants (2018 I think but I do not recall exactly).
The whole industry, however, is like the cable industry, it is a protected oligopoly.
Do some research.
