Prior to that, Terry has had experience in the US energy business after a long career with Texaco Inc,. He was formerly President of Texaco Natural Gas and served as Texaco’s senior representative.

PPM Energy involvement
In 2001, PacifiCorp Power Marketing, Inc. moved from being a subsidiary of PacifiCorp to being an affiliate to PacifiCorp. It was announced in 2002 that Scottish Power's competitive US energy business would change its name to PPM Energy, Inc. on January 15, 2003.
CEO Terry Hudgens said "Our business has grown beyond 'power' into gas storage and well beyond 'power marketing'. As a result, we realized that our old name-PacifiCorp Power Marketing-is too narrow a fit for our expanded capabilities. The new logo reinforces the fact that PPM remains a member of the ScottishPower group of companies. We'll still be the same people providing the same great level of services and even more products - just with a new name."
PPM Energy remained the same organization with the same contracts and the same underlying support. The PPM name and logo emphasized their ties to Scottish Power and its separate and independent status from the regulated utility, PacifiCorp. [4]
