additional responsibilities –
Chris Huskilson, President and CEO of Emera Inc. (EMA:TSX) today
announced two important changes to Emera’s executive team.
Greg Blunden has been appointed Chief Financial Officer, Emera

President, Corporate Strategy and Planning, has been with Emera
since 2000. Prior to assuming his current role, he served as
Executive Vice President, Customer, Business & Financial
Services at Nova Scotia Power. He has held a number financial
leadership roles at Emera Inc., Emera Maine and Nova Scotia Power.
Mr. Blunden is a Chartered Professional Accountant and a graduate

provide senior executive leadership for Emera’s existing
operations, including Nova Scotia Power, Emera Energy, Emera Maine,
Emera Caribbean, Emera Brunswick Pipeline and Emera Utility
Services. Mr. Balfour’s appointment flows from the announcement
early last year of a realignment of Emera’s executive team, and the
more recent appointment of Rob Bennett as President of Emera US
Inc., responsible for the integration of TECO Energy.
“Emera is undergoing a significant strategic expansion,” said
Mr. Huskilson. “These changes will strengthen our capacity to
