TECO and Emera executives arrive in New Mexico for company meetings with team members and the New Mexico Public Regulatory Commission

New Mexico Gas Company was proud to welcome a number of TECO Energy and Emera executives at the Business Center headquarters and Service Center in Albuquerque on Sept. 9. NMGC President Ryan Shell, TECO Energy President and CEO John Ramil and Emera President and CEO Christopher Huskilson addressed NMGC team members about the exciting news of Emera’s definitive agreement to acquire TECO Energy, including Tampa Electric, Peoples Gas and New Mexico Gas Company.

Shell and Ramil started the meetings expressing how appreciative they are for the hard work team members have been putting in to further NMGC’s success.

“I’d like to recognize those people on the ERP project and thank them for their continuous hard work on this important initiative,” said Shell. He also thanked team members for representing the company well while interacting in the community.

Ramil added his praise for team members’ unflagging focus on achievement with a sense of urgency.

“Being able to continue to run operations on top of the integrations is outstanding,” said Ramil. “It’s going to be business as usual – only better.”

This was Huskilson’s second trip to New Mexico and he said he plans to come back, hopefully soon and with more time to spend at NMGC and in the Land of Enchantment. “TECO Energy and New Mexico Gas Company is a perfect match,” Huskilson expressed. “Our strategies align and we are very excited to be forming a greater-capacity team.”

On behalf of NMGC, Shell presented Huskilson with a southwestern pot from the Laguna Pueblo. This piece of New Mexico will be put on display at Emera’s headquarters in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Shell, Ramil and Huskilson also took time to meet with the New Mexico Public Regulatory Commission to brief them on the agreement and discuss the regulatory approval process.
