Manitoba Farm Electrification Plan Expands Winnipeg River Power
Manitoba plans extensive farm electrification to boost farming. A survey covers 42 municipalities while seven districts test farm lines. Over 660 farms will gain service this year, plus 200 towns and villages. The Manitoba Power Commission aims for 40 towns and 5,000 farms yearly as material and labor permit. Capital needs exceed 3.5 million dollars with over two million man hours required. Water power from the Winnipeg River underpins urban growth and farm economics, making farming more attractive and shifting it toward modernization.
