Emera Incorporated is a Canadian energy company that owns and operates electric and gas utilities. It delivers electricity and natural gas to homes and businesses, mainly in Atlantic Canada, Florida, and the Caribbean. Its largest subsidiary is Tampa Electric, which serves over 800,000 customers in Florida and is one of Emera's most important assets.

Emera makes money by charging customers regulated rates for electricity and gas delivery — rates that are set and approved by government regulators. This regulated model provides steady, predictable revenue, which is typical for utility companies. Emera operates across Canada, the United States, and several Caribbean islands, making it a mid-sized international utility. Its main competitive advantage is the stability that comes from owning regulated infrastructure, where competition is limited by law. The key risk is its relatively high debt load, which makes the company sensitive to rising interest rates and could pressure its ability to fund the large capital investments needed to maintain and expand its grid.
