Utilities: High System Reliability

Electricity: Manitoba Hydro Comparative Prices Billing Comparisons (M) Billing Comparisons (L) Rates Capacity Reliability

The quality and reliability of the electricity generated by Manitoba Hydro (the province’s electrical utility) ranks among the best in the world. Reliability indices, used to measure delivery performance since 1984, show that power outage frequency and average outage time are substantially lower in Manitoba than the composite average of other utilities across Canada.

With systems constructed to withstand the rigours of climate extremes, Manitoba Hydro can deliver reliable, predictable service on a consistent basis. Manitoba Hydro's interconnections with 11 neighbouring utilities ensure back-up supply during emergencies or periods of high demand.
