Tampa Electric CEO announces retirement
September 24, 2020 - Nancy Tower, president and CEO of Tampa Electric, plans to retire in mid 2021. Tower has been head of Tampa Electric since 2017, a year after the utility company was acquired by Emera (TSX: EMA), a Canadian-based energy firm. She will continue to lead Tampa Electric until her retirement. The company will begin a search for her replacement this fall, a news release said. “Tampa Electric is a growing and dynamic utility that we believe will attract the highest caliber candidates both internally and externally. The successful candidate will work with the strong leadership team to continue to advance Tampa Electric’s strategy, as the utility works to deliver cleaner, affordable and reliable energy to its customers," Scott Balfour, president and CEO of Emera, said in the release.
