We seek to understand and collaborate. We care enough to challenge each other. We care about each other – and the communities where we live and work.
We are transparent, respectful and responsive. We are ethical and guided by integrity. We do the right thing. We hold ourselves and each other accountable to operational excellency.
We take pride in holding ourselves to high standards for safety and sustainability. We are invested for the long term in our people, our actions and our commitments. We celebrate our successes and continue to strive to get better.
LUMA was formed by ATCO and Quanta Services, combining the strength and expertise of these two world-class organizations. They have decades of operational experience managing several utilities that deliver safe and reliable energy to millions of customers, and industry-leading technical experience in building reliable, sustainable infrastructure and best-in-class skilled workforce training.
