Winnipeg Hydro is a former provider of electrical power for the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Winnipeg Hydro was established in 1906 and was purchased by Manitoba Hydro in 2002.
In 1906, voters approved a $3.25 Million Dollar expenditure for development of a hydroelectric plan at Pointe du Bois. Immediately following the decision to build the Pointe du Bois plant, the price of electricity charged by the private sector in Winnipeg dropped from 20 cents per kilowatt-hour to 10 cents and subsequently to 7 1/2 cents. After completion of the plant in 1911, Winnipeg Hydro set its rate at 3 1/3 cents per kilowatt-hour. This rate remained unchanged until 1973. Customers of Winnipeg Hydro enjoyed among the lowest electricity in North America.
Among the final achievements as Winnipeg Hydro were the recorded revenues higher than previous years. Which was invested wisely in infrastructure improvements that will ensure the safe and effective transmission of hydroelectric power with minimal impact on the environment. Some of this included the completion of No. 6 Substation (Amy St) building and equipment installation as well as the completion of the installation of new underground cable to connect Scotland Avenue Terminal Station to No. 2 Substation (York) at York Avenue and Garry Street. The last Director of Winnipeg Hydro was Ian McKay.
Winnipeg (i/ˈwɪnɪpɛɡ/) is the capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba, Canada. It is located near the longitudinal centre of North America, at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.
The name "Winnipeg" comes from the Western Cree words for Lake Winnipeg nearby, referring to muddy or brackish water, or possibly the natural colour of the Red River that flowed into the southern basin of the lake. The region was a trading centre for aboriginal peoples long before the arrival of Europeans. French traders built the first fort on the site in 1738. A settlement was later founded by the Selkirk settlers of the Red River Colony in 1812, the nucleus of which was incorporated as the City of Winnipeg in 1873. As of 2011, Winnipeg is the seventh most populated municipality in Canada.
Constructed between 1908 and 1911, the station was built as a joint venture between the Canadian Northern Railway, National Transcontinental, Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the Dominion government. The first train to enter the station did so on 7 August 1911, with the official opening the following year on 24 June 1912.
The building extends for 350 feet (110m) along Main Street, with the entrance close to the intersection of Main Street and Broadway. The building's entrance doors are located under a decorative iron canopy that projects from the austere white limestone. Atop the building is a large dome.
A Winnipegger is warning others about an intricate scam she says she almost fell for.
Destiny Funk said people pretending to work for Manitoba Hydro attempted to lure her into making a deposit on a bitcoin machine by using a lot of personal information and elaborate theatrics to make everything seem "very realistic."
On Monday afternoon, the 26-year-old received a call by someone claiming to be a Hydro technician, telling her they had a work order to cut her power within the hour due to unpaid bills.
Funk said the person had her name and address, and that it all seemed very legitimate.
"Money's been coming out of my account every single month," Funk told the man. "The — quote — 'technician' was like, … 'I'm just the tech.… You're going to want to contact them directly.'"

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 Winnipegger is warning others about an intricate scam she says she almost fell for.
Destiny Funk said people pretending to work for Manitoba Hydro attempted to lure her into making a deposit on a bitcoin machine by using a lot of personal information and elaborate theatrics to make everything seem "very realistic."
On Monday afternoon, the 26-year-old received a call by someone claiming to be a Hydro technician, telling her they had a work order to cut her power within the hour due to unpaid bills.
Funk said the person had her name and address, and that it all seemed very legitimate.
"Money's been coming out of my account every single month," Funk told the man. "The — quote — 'technician' was like, … 'I'm just the tech.… You're going to want to contact them directly.'"
Funk said the man — who called from a 1-800 number — then gave her another number for Hydro, and even a work order serial to provide to an agent.
"The greeting message says, 'Welcome to Manitoba Hydro Business Centre. Please press 1 for this, please press 2 for billing,'" Funk said.
"I get connected within like 30 seconds after listening to hold music and everything."

Winnipeg Hydro is a former provider of electrical power for the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Winnipeg Hydro was established in 1906 and was purchased by Manitoba Hydro in 2002.
In 1906, voters approved a $3.25 Million Dollar expenditure for development of a hydroelectric plan at Pointe du Bois. Immediately following the decision to build the Pointe du Bois plant, the price of electricity charged by the private sector in Winnipeg dropped from 20 cents per kilowatt-hour to 10 cents and subsequently to 7 1/2 cents. After completion of the plant in 1911, Winnipeg Hydro set its rate at 3 1/3 cents per kilowatt-hour. This rate remained unchanged until 1973. Customers of Winnipeg Hydro enjoyed among the lowest electricity in North America.
Among the final achievements as Winnipeg Hydro were the recorded revenues higher than previous years. Which was invested wisely in infrastructure improvements that will ensure the safe and effective transmission of hydroelectric power with minimal impact on the environment. Some of this included the completion of No. 6 Substation (Amy St) building and equipment installation as well as the completion of the installation of new underground cable to connect Scotland Avenue Terminal Station to No. 2 Substation (York) at York Avenue and Garry Street. The last Director of Winnipeg Hydro was Ian McKay.
