Letter from our CEO

El Paso Electric Company (EPE) has long adopted a culture of corporate responsibility and environmental stewardship. In recent years, we have achieved significant milestones in these areas while continuing to celebrate growth and development in the region we serve.

With recent milestones, we recognized a need to communicate and make public our efforts and achievements around environmental and corporate sustainability initiatives, leading us to publish our first Corporate Sustainability Report.

This is an exciting time in our history and we foresee even bigger accomplishments in 2018. We are proud of our accomplishments over the past year, and we look forward to continuing our commitment to environmental stewardship and corporate sustainability as we serve our region in 2018 and beyond.
