Nova Scotia Utility Changes Name to Emera

LCG, July 17, 2000--NSP Power Holdings Inc. has changed its name to Emera Inc., which holds a lot more meaning for the holding company than for anyone else. The utilitys customers will continue to write "Nova Scotia Power Co." on their monthly cheques.

"Our new name reflects the diversity of our energy business," said David Mann, president and chief executive of the holding company.

"We have expanded our energy product line to include heavy and light fuel oil, diesel and industriallubricants," Mann pointed out. "Our investment in the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline and the acquisition of Bangor Hydro-Electric Co. extend Emera's business and customer base into New Brunswick and the northeastern United States."

Taking all those things together, someone decided the new name should combine energy, sea and era. Somehow, that suggested Emera.

The new name, said Mann, "will be the umbrella identity for our customers, employees and operations of our growing energy related interests."
