Manitoba Hydro Sees Growth Demands More Power Supply
Manitoba economy diversifies and rural growth spurs higher electricity use as hydro prospects rise. Grand Rapids will transmit 330000 kW by 1965, with Nelson River’s Kelsey Station feeding Thompson’s nickel industry. A national grid vision links hydro-rich provinces to power-deficient regions.

Manitoba’s Part In National Power Grid
Recent talks by provincial and federal authorities explore a national power grid linking power rich provinces to markets in others. Manitoba Hydro’s interconnections with Ontario and Saskatchewan show promise, but vast transmission distances and knowledge gaps pose major challenges requiring time and funds. If realized, Manitoba could become a key power centre with Nelson River and northern waterways central to future development and regional value.
