Hydro
Manitoba Hydro is
the province’s sole electrical and natural gas utility, evolving from the
Winnipeg Gas Company founded in 1873 to its present state where it operates 16
hydroelectric generating stations and almost 11 000 km of transmission and
distribution pipelines. These generating stations range as far north as the
Lower Nelson River near the town of Gillam, and as far south as Seven Sisters.
Harnessing the flow of the Nelson, Laurie, and Winnipeg Rivers, they boast a
generating capacity of 6 100 megawatts.
To this end,
Manitoba Hydro employs the largest group of electrical, civil, and mechanical
engineers of any company in the province. From transmission line engineering to
operations studies to generation design, and beyond, Manitoba Hydro works to
deliver reliable, clean, and cost-effective energy to its customers. It also
provides an engineer-in-training rotation program to expose new graduates to
various departments within the corporation.
