by Gintautas Dumcius, Statehouse News Service

Attorney General Maura Healey on Tuesday called a utility company executive’s compensation an “awful lot of money,” and said she is willing to investigate to ensure consumers aren’t affected.

Tom May, the president and CEO of Eversource Energy,received a compensation package valued at roughly $9 million in 2014.

“I’ll tell you, you know, the next time they come before the Department of Public Utilities asking for a rate hike, I’m going to make sure that we are there making sure that any excessive compensation isn’t being passed onto ratepayers as part of any proposed rate hike,” Healey said during an appearance on WGBH’s “Boston Public Radio” show.
