Abstract
This brief description of the power developments of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario presents its general historical and economic relationship to the program of public service as expressed by the work of the Commission. This will lead to a more correct understanding of that work and will explain the continuity of policy that has actuated the Commission in obtaining and supplying electrical energy to meet the rapidly growing municipal, industrial, commercial, and domestic needs of the citizens of the Province of Ontario. An organization beginning in 1910 with a small initial load of less than 1 000 h.p. and, fifteen years later, distributing about 800 000 h.p. and operating twenty-three plants, which, when fully developed, will have a potentiality of more than 1 000 000 h.p., could not have progressed to its present magnitude and stability without following some well-defined policy.
