Manitoba Hydro

Manitoba Hydro is a provincial Crown Corporation that is the sole electricity and natural gas utility in Manitoba. It is governed by a board appointed by the provincial government.

Most of the electricity generated by Manitoba Hydro comes from hydro-electric dams, primarily in the northern boreal region of the province.

Manitoba Hydro has received numerous awards for customer service and its energy conservation and efficiency programs. It's new office tower in Winnipeg is an award-winning green building.
