Manitoba Hydro is the electric power and natural gas utility in the province of Manitoba, Canada. Founded in 1961, it is a provincial Crown Corporation, governed by the Manitoba Hydro-Electric Board and the Manitoba Hydro Act. Today the company operates 15 interconnected generating stations. It has more than 527,000 electric power customers and more than 263,000 natural gas customers. Since most of the electrical energy is provided by hydroelectric power, the utility has low electricity rates. Stations in Northern Manitoba are connected by a HVDC system, the Nelson River Bipole, to customers in the south. The internal staff are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 998 while the outside workers are members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 2034.
The first recorded attempt to extract useful work from a Manitoba river was in 1829 at a flour mill (known as Grant's Mill) located on Sturgeon Creek in what is now Winnipeg. This was not successful and the milling equipment was later operated by a windmill.
Manitoba (i/ˌmænᵻˈtoʊbə/) is a province located at the longitudinal centre of Canada. It is one of the three prairie provinces and is the fifth-most populous province in Canada, with a population of 1,208,268 as of 2011. Manitoba covers an area of 649,950 square kilometres (250,900sqmi) with a widely varied landscape; the southern and western regions are predominantly prairie grassland, the eastern and northern regions are dominated by the Canadian Shield, and the far northern regions along the Hudson Bay coast are arctic tundra. Manitoba is bordered by the provinces of Ontario to the east and Saskatchewan to the west, the territory of Nunavut to the north, and the US states of North Dakota and Minnesota to the south.
Manitoba was a system-on-a-chip (SoC) introduced by Intel Corporation in 2003. It was a mostly unsuccessful attempt by Intel to break into the smart phones market. The chip integrated flash memory, a digital signal processor and an XScale processor core. After the chip's failure in the marketplace, the business was sold to Marvell in 2006 for $600 million.

Working in the Cold and Snow - Manitoba Hydro
Think you're tired of shoveling snow in the freezing cold? Watch our crews work a typical day in this atypically cold and snowy winter.
The conditions may slow us down, but they don't stop us from doing detailed inspections and preventative maintenance of our underground equipment.
The 2013-2014 winter season was the second-coldest in Winnipeg in 75 years (1939 was colder), with the coldest February in 35 years, according to Environment Canada.
As of February 26, Winnipeg received a total of 127 centimetres of snow — the most since winter 1996-97 (also notable as the year of the Flood of the Century).

A day in our Lundar camp – Oct. 22, 2019
We're in the final push to restore power to all Manitobans.
Here's what our camp looks like in Lundar, where hundreds of crew members stay – away from their families – to help with restoration efforts. The communities and local businesses came together to make sure they were comfortable.
Thank you to all volunteers and Manitobans for your support. We won't stop working for you.
