	Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario was established in 1906 by the provincial Power Commission Act to build transmission lines to supply municipal utilities with electricity generated by private companies already operating at Niagara Falls.
		In the 1920s the commission began generating and distributing its own power when it was given the mandate to electrify rural areas.
		In 1974 the Power Corporation Act reorganized the system as a crown corporation called Ontario Hydro, the name it was most usually known by.

		Hydro One traces its history to the early 20th century to the establishment of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, renamed as "Ontario Hydro" in 1974.
		Hydroelectric power is the technology of generating electric power from the movement of water through rivers, streams, and tides.
		It is the successor to BC Electric, which the provincial government took over in 1961, and until recently was operated as a vertically-integrated government-run monopoly comprised of electricity generation, transmission and distribution capacities.

		Since the Federal Power Commission hearing, the situation in Ontario has deteriorated, not only because of the delay in beginning the construction of the project but also because the power needs in Ontario have already increased beyond those forecast by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario.
		The industries and resources of Ontario are of vital importance to the civilian economy of Canada and to the defence programmes of both Canada and the United States.

		Given Ontario’s water power resources at Niagara, Beck was an early champion of municipal and provincial electric power ownership to spur economic development.

	Beck, Sir Adam
		Feared and revered as an empire builder, Beck dominated Ontario politics for a generation as he built and expanded the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario into the largest publicly owned power authority in the world.
		Supported by bipartisan public ownership advocates, the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario began in a small way in 1910, but through Beck's aggressive promotion of "Power At Cost," thousands of new industrial, retail and household customers soon were gained.
		As principal founder and guiding genius of ONTARIO HYDRO, Beck helped establish the public enterprise tradition in Canada, though his methods did little to render such enterprises more politically accountable.

		That is, the cost of power is just over one third of what it was in 1928 and the average consumption by farms during this period has increased nearly threefold.
		Electricity is the driving force that is carrying Ontario forward to new heights of achievement.

	The Power in a Drop of Water
		It has been estimated by some experts that the power running to waste at the Falls is equal in the amount of its horse-power to more than of all the coal mined in France and Belgium, if that were used in furnaces and turned into steam.
		This power is worth more a year than pays the interest on the debt to America, and yet, until a few years ago, its possibilities were neglected, and all that it had done had been to wear away a deep bed for the river in the solid rock.
		The control of water-power in Ontario is in the hands of the Government Electric Power Commission, which has bought up two existing power plants at Niagara, and which, on the completion of the Queenston-Chippawa project, will control nearly a million horse-power of energy.

	IEEE History Center - Adams Hydroelectric Generating Plant, 1895
		The clear advantage of high voltage AC for long distance power transmission and the unprecedented size of the plant (it reached its full capacity of ten 5,000-HP generators in May 1900) influenced the future of the electrical industry worldwide.
		On 18 May 1910, the Niagara Transformer Station of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario began collecting power from several generating stations at Niagara Falls, Ontario and began distributing power from Niagara Falls over a network of transmission lines to loads throughout southern Ontario.
		This arrangement for the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power departed from the prevailing approach of localized developments and formed the basis of the electric utility industry as we know it today.

		In any event, if some form of termination were felt to be desirable, it would seem preferable to include a clause to this effect in the new agreement itself rather than in federal legislation approving the new agreement on behalf of Canada.
		The Secretary to the Cabinet referred to the earlier suggestion by the Premier of Ontario that an additional clause be inserted in the new agreement to provide that, in the event Congress approved the 1941 Canada-United States Agreement on the St. Lawrence, the presently proposed allocation of costs between Canada and Ontario be reviewed.
		In the circumstances, Ontario would be prepared to rely on a verbal commitment by federal authorities that the whole problem of cost allocation would be reviewed and if necessary readjusted in the event the 1941 Canada-United States agreement gained Congressional approval.
