The Yukon Electrical Company Limited has been providing electrical service to Yukoners for over a century.  Chartered in 1901, the pioneer company began generating electricity for the residents of Whitehorse using a wood-fired, horizontal piston steam engine.  Since then, Yukon Electrical has grown to serve over 15,000 customers in 19 communities from south of the Yukon border to north of the Arctic Circle.  A private, investor-owned utility, Yukon Electrical is a member of the ATCO Group of Companies.  Its head office and service centre is in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
