In 1998 Teyssen joined the subsidiary Hannover-Braunschweigische Stromversorgungs-AG (HASTRA) in Hannover as a member of the board . In the course of the merger of HASTRA and four other energy supply companies to form Avacon , based in Helmstedt , he was appointed CEO of the new company in 1999, the majority (64.6 percent) of which is owned by E.ON Energie AG, which was created in July 2000 .
