BY THE COMMISSION:
On January 1, 2023, the assets of Peoples Gas System (PGS or utility) were transferred to
a separate corporation, Peoples Gas System, Inc. By letter dated January 6, 2023, PGS requested
that its name be officially changed to Peoples Gas System, Inc., and that we administratively
update our records to reflect the change of name (applicable to Company Code GU608). Peoples
Gas System, Inc ., is a wholly owned subsidiary of the newly formed gas operations holding
company, TECO Gas Operations, Inc ., which is a subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc. TECO
Energy, Inc. continues to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emera Incorporated.
PGS stated that the persons designated for the utility to receive notices, orders, data
requests, and other communications from us, and their contact information (email addresses and
phone numbers), will remain the same.
Peoples Gas System, Inc., stated that it adopted, ratified, and made its own all rates, rules,
classifications, and regulations of PGS as of January 1, 2023. In accordance with Commission
Rule 25-9.044(3), Florida Administrative Code, Peoples Gas System, Inc., issued and filed in its
own name the rate schedules and regulations in the 	PGS tariff as they existed as of December
31, 2022. The new tariffs were administratively approved and became effective on January 9,
2023. Peoples Gas System, Inc., also stated that the asset transfer and technical change of control
of those assets will be seamless to customers.
Our review indicates that the utility has not effected a transfer of its certificate or a
change in majority organizational control. 	Based on the foregoing, we hereby approve the
utility's request to change the name. We further approve this name change becoming effective
January 6, 2023 .
