Manitoba Hydro International Resuming Operations
Province of Manitoba
news.gov.mb.caI don’t have live access to pull the very latest updates right now. Based on recent public reporting, here are the most relevant recent developments related to Manitoba Hydro and its related entities:
Manitoba Hydro International (MHI) resumed operations. In 2024 Manitoba’s government announced that MHI, the international consulting arm of Manitoba Hydro, would be restarted after a period of wind-down, signaling renewed international consulting and project activity. This move aims to diversify revenue for Manitoba Hydro and share its expertise globally, while creating jobs for Manitobans.[1][9]
Manitoba Hydro has ongoing regulatory and financial matters. Public disclosures and regulatory orders in Manitoba continue to address rate design and capital projects, including large transmission and reliability initiatives, with general rate applications and interim decisions typically managed by the Manitoba PUB (Public Utilities Board) and related proceedings.[2][7]
Manitoba Hydro maintains active media and public communications. The utility publishes regular news releases and updates on its website, including progress on infrastructure projects, safety notices, and financial results, which are intended to inform customers and stakeholders about service reliability and affordability initiatives.[5][8]
There have been past and ongoing discussions about funding and compensation related to transmission developments. CBC reporting has covered compensation and municipal support agreements tied to major transmission line projects, as well as shifts in government stance on such arrangements, which can influence Manitoba Hydro’s project economics and community relations.[3]

news.gov.mb.caThe Board notes Manitoba Hydro’s evidence that the HVDC Reliability Project is needed and accepts that the project is critical to the utility and its customers.
