Northwest Territories Power Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC) was established about 1988 to acquire and operate the former Northern Canada Power Commission (NCPC) assets within the Northwest Territories, which at that time also included Nunavut.

Most of the NTPC network consists of diesel generators, although there are two hydro-electric operations, one near Yellowknife, one near Fort Smith. NTPC also vends electricity to Northland Utilities (Yellowknife) Limited, a private company providing electricity in Yellowknife, and to the similarly named Northland Utilities (NWT) Limited in other communities. Natural gas is used to generate electricity in Inuvik.
