Past & Present
Before the year 2000, each municipality had its own not for profit hydro-electric commission. As there were approximately 320 hydro-electric commissions at this time, the ruling Provincial Conservative Government introduced the Electricity Act so that Hydro companies became incorporated companies, which would lead to mergers and sales and drive efficiency in the system.
Today there are approximately 65 hydro distribution companies, with Lakeland Power being one.
