Manitoba Hydro Posts Third Straight $100 Million Plus Year
Manitoba Hydro reports a 1998-99 annual profit of $100.1 million, down from the prior year due to a 13.8 percent drop in hydraulic generation. Net earnings help reduce the $5.0 billion debt, with lower finance costs and water rentals aiding the bottom line. Electricity use rose to a record 19.4 billion kWh driven by more residential and small business customers and higher Winnipeg Hydro sales.
