Electricity has been a core service to residents of Kitchener since the early 1900s. In fact, Kitchener was the first city in Ontario to receive power from Niagara Power in 1910. We now provide electricity to more than 96,000 homes and businesses across the City of Kitchener and the Township of Wilmot. As our industry continues to grow and evolve Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro works hard to ensure that we stay committed to our customer promise of safe, reliable electricity.

Community Sponsor

As a major land developer with well-established roots in Waterloo Region over the last 30 years, we’ve been involved in the planning stages of many local communities and neighbourhoods including Huron Village, Vista Hills and Doon South.
