The transaction makes Algoma Power the operator of the electricity distribution system in the Township of Dubreuilville, located about an hour northeast of Wawa. The company was appointed the interim operator by the Ontario Energy Board in April, 2017.
“We’d like to welcome our new customers to Algoma Power,” Jennifer Rose, regional manager of Algoma Power, in an April 8 news release.
“We are pleased that the transaction has closed and look forward to continuing to provide safe and reliable electricity to the residents of Dubreuilville.”
