ATLANTA GAS LIGHT COMPANY NAMES NEW PRESIDENT
AGL Resources Inc. today named Paula G. Rosput to be president and chief
operating officer of Atlanta Gas Light Company. Atlanta Gas Light Company is
the natural gas utility distributing subsidiary of AGL Resources, an Atlanta-
based New York Stock Exchange listed utility holding company. Ms. Rosput was
previously president & CEO of Houston-based Duke Energy Power Services, a
subsidiary of Duke Energy, the nation's largest energy services company. She
will assume her new responsibilities on September 21, 1998.
"We are delighted to have a superb leader and intellect, Paula Rosput, as
president of Atlanta Gas Light Company," said Walter M. Higgins, president and
CEO of AGL Resources. "Her wealth of experience in gas and electric utilities,
natural gas pipelines and competitive energy businesses will help the company as
it prepares for the rapidly changing and increasingly competitive utility
industry."
Ms. Rosput has served as president of Duke Energy Power Services since June
1997. An honor graduate in economics of Wellesley College, she was president of
PanEnergy Power Services, Inc. prior to PanEnergy's merger with Duke Power last
year; senior vice president at Pacific Gas Transmission, a gas pipeline company;
and a manager at Pacific Gas & Electric, the nation's largest utility company.
Higgins expressed appreciation to Catherine Land-Waters, who has been the
acting utility president since May of 1998. Ms. Waters will continue her
previous job as Atlanta Gas Light Company's vice president of Customer Service,
reporting to Ms. Rosput.
Ms. Rosput serves as director of Duke Energy Power Services, LLC, The
Electric Power Association, United American Energy Company, Southwest Power
Pool, and Escape Family Resource Center. She is a trustee of the North American
Electric Reliability Council and a member of the management committee, American
Ref-Fuel Company, the Wellesley Business Leadership Council and the National
Coal Council. She is a former director of the Northwest Gas Association, the
faculty of the Institute of Public Utilities, Michigan State University Annual
Regulatory Studies Program, and the management committee, Midland Cogeneration
Venture.
Atlanta Gas Light Company most recently has been in the news as its Georgia
natural gas market is opening to competition. Beginning in November, the
company's 1.4 million Georgia customers will be able to choose a competitive gas
marketer. In implementing changes to prepare for that competition, the company
also is taking steps to strengthen its
<PAGE>
presence in the energy marketplace and expand its capabilities throughout the
Southeast.
Atlanta Gas Light Company is the eighth-largest natural gas distribution
company in the U.S., and the largest in the Southeast, serving customers in most
of Georgia and, through Chattanooga Gas, in southern Tennessee.
