Public and Investor Ownership

Much of the Canadian industry is public ownership with some notable exceptions. Much of the industry in Alberta is investor owned although EPCOR and ENMAX are important exceptions. Nova Scotia Power is a wholly owned subsidiary of Emera, an investor-owned company. Parts of the industry in several provinces (e.g. Fortis BC, Newfoundland Power, Maritime Electric in PEI) are investor owned but Provincial Crown Corporations still dominate the generation and transmission components of the industry.
 
Within the category of public ownership, municipal ownership is prominent in several places most notably Ontario where utilities such as Toronto Hydro, Hydro Ottawa and Horizon Utilities are municipally owned. EPCOR and ENMAX in Alberta are owned respectively by the City of Edmonton and the City of Calgary.
