BANGOR, Maine (AP) Maine electric utility Emera Maine has a new name: Versant.

Versant continues to operate as a stand-alone utility headquartered in Bangor after its purchase by Canadian company ENMAX. But it was required to change its name under terms of the sale.

ENMAX announced the new name Thursday to customers and communities virtually while continuing to follow public health and safety practices during the coronavirus pandemic.
