The Power Commission of the City of Saint John, [1] operating as Saint John Energy, is the municipally owned electricity utility serving the city of Saint John, New Brunswick. Established in 1922 as the Power Commission of the City of Saint John, it has grown over more than a century into a respected utility that distributes power to more than 36,000 residential and business customers in the urban area. The company purchases its electricity wholesale from NB Power and focuses on delivering reliable service at competitive rates, often lower than those offered elsewhere in the province.
As a community utility, Saint John Energy prioritizes both customer-focused service and innovation. It employs over 100 people and manages a local distribution network that includes substations, utility poles, and both overhead and underground lines. Its mission centers on providing safe, reliable, and affordable energy solutions while helping customers save money and contribute to environmental sustainability. The company’s vision includes becoming a national leader in the transition to net-zero energy and embracing technologies and programs that support cleaner energy use [2] .
The utility sells 950GWh of electricity annually, which it purchases from NB Power.
In recent years, Saint John Energy has taken proactive steps toward sustainability and community engagement. It holds the Sustainable Electricity Company designation from the Canadian Electricity Association, reflecting its commitment to responsible environmental and social practices. The utility has implemented initiatives like demand‑management programs that reduce peak electricity costs and integrates renewable energy into its supply mix. One of its most significant projects in this area is a partnership to develop New Brunswick’s largest solar farm, which is expected to generate clean power and reduce emissions once operational [3] .
Beyond basic electricity distribution, Saint John Energy also supports local energy solutions and services, such as energy‑efficient products and programs that help customers reduce consumption. Its long history and ongoing emphasis on innovation, affordability, and sustainability make it a central part of Saint John’s energy landscape and a contributor to the city’s broader environmental goals.
