NB POWER

'NB Power' (French: 'Energie NB'), formerly known as 'New Brunswick Power Corporation' is an electrical utility in the Canadian province of New Brunswick.
NB Power is a Crown Corporation wholly owned by the Government of New Brunswick and is comprised of a holding company and 4 sub-companies: Generation, Nuclear, Distribution and Customer Service, and Transmission.
The company was subdivided in 2003 with the future aim of selling off the various components (privatization). NB Power functions as a regulated monopoly and services all the residential and industrial power consumers in the province, with the exception of those in Saint John, New Brunswick; Edmundston, New Brunswick and Perth-Andover, New Brunswick who are served by Saint John Energy, City of Edmundston Electric and the Perth-Andover Electric Light Commission respectively.
NB Power supplies electricity to Maritime Electric in Prince Edward Island through a sub-sea interconnection cable on the floor of the Northumberland Strait, and to Nova Scotia via Canada's first electrical interconnection between two provinces.
NB Power also has interconnections to New England and Quebec.
