good people serving
the people of our region
Our commitment to supporting the region’s growth requires an equally strong commitment to the
communities we serve. And the communities we serve are more than our places of work — they are
where we live. We can thus never lose sight of the fact that the daily work done by our more than 6,000
employees, some of whom routinely take on dangerous assignments working with live power lines, is done
as a service to the region. And giving back to communities is second nature for NU and its employees.
In these troubling economic times, we at NU are mindful of the need to balance energy, environmental
and other initiatives with the cost realities that face our customers, particularly those with limited incomes.
Each of our operating subsidiaries oers innovative programs and services to help customers with
their energy needs by working in partnership with social service agencies to deliver energy assistance,
conservation strategies and aordable payment plans. Furthermore, in 2008, we contributed over
$200,000 to not-for-profit organizations that provide emergency assistance to the elderly, disabled and
limited-income working families in need of help paying their energy bills.
