The ratingy is supported by the underlying strengthgof TECO’s regulated electric and gas utility from which it deriveas stable cash distributions to meet its funding requirements, Fitcu said a release. Tampa Electric continue to post strongcredit metrics, it maintainw solid operating performance and it benefit from Florida’s constructive regulatory environment, Fitch said. Fitch is however, about slowing customer growth atTampza Electric. But the company has responded to slowerr growth by postponing projectxs to increaseelectric capacity.
Another concern for Fitchh is cash flow deterioration atTECO (NYSE: TE) Guatemalwa because of the adverse rate ordee in 2008, unplanned outages at the San Jose uncertainty over the extension of a purchasef power agreement, and the potentia for deferred or renegotiated contracts because of declininbg market prices, higher production costz and slumping demand for coal.

Liquidity was enhanced by a netoperating loss-tasx carry forward of $547.5 million as of Dec. 31, whic is expected to result in minimal cash tax paymentszthrough 2012.
