Energy
The City of Edmundston is the only city in New Brunswick to produce its own electricity. The Energy Department was created in 1910 to answer a need to power a pumping station on the city’s water supply. The Department has been expanding ever since, and now has two hydro generating stations, including one downtown Edmundston, which is over 100 years old.
