In 1999, Bill 35 required all
Municipal Electrical Utilities to become corporations under the
Ontario Business Corporation Act. As a result, the following
companies amalgamated to form
Northern Ontario Wires Inc.
1. The Cochrane Public Utilities Commission (Electric Department), which served the Town of Cochrane since 1921. The Cochrane PUC also provided telephone, water and sewer services.
2. The Iroquois Falls Hydro Electric Commission, which served the Town of Iroquois Falls since 1986, where it took over hydro distribution from Abitibi Price and Ontario Hydro.
3. The Kapuskasing Public Utilities Commission, which served the Town of Kapuskasing since 1952.
