Exhibit 24
POWER OF ATTORNEY
KNOW ALL BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT I, James P. Torgerson, do hereby
appoint Scott R. Mahoney, Leonard Rodriguez and Susan Johnston, or either of
them, my true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:
(1) prepare, execute in my name and on my behalf, and submit to the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form ID,
including amendments thereto, and any other documents necessary
or appropriate to obtain codes and passwords enabling me to make
electronic filings with the SEC of reports required by Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or
regulation of the SEC;
(2) execute for me and on my behalf, in my capacity as an officer
and/or director of Avangrid, Inc. (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4,
and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder;
(3) do and perform any and all acts for me and on my behalf which
may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
Form 3, 4, or 5, complete and execute any amendment or
amendments thereto, and timely file such form with the SEC and
any stock exchange or similar authority; and
(4) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with
the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact,
may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally
required by, me, it being understood that the documents executed
by such attorney-in-fact on my behalf pursuant to this Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.
I hereby grant to such attorney-in-fact full power and authority to do
and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite, necessary, or
proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers herein
granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as I might or could do if
personally present, with full power of substitution or revocation, hereby
ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact, or such
attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes, shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and the rights and powers herein
granted. I acknowledge that the foregoing attorney-in-fact, in serving in such
capacity at my request, is not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of my
responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I am
no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to my holdings of and
transactions in securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by me
in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorney-in-fact.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this 1st day of March, 2016.
