    Effective January 1, 2026, Naka Power Utilities (Yellowknife) and Naka Power Utilities (NWT) will be amalgamated under a single name: Naka Power Utilities (NWT). This change is part of our commitment to improving service, simplifying processes, and preparing for the future.

    Why We’re Making This Change

    Bringing these two companies together simply makes sense. By unifying operations, we create a more efficient system for processes, resources, and decision-making. This streamlined approach means faster coordination across the Northwest Territories, one clear point of contact for customers, and standardized procedures that ensure consistent, reliable service.
     

    What This Means for You

    We’re committed to making this transition seamless for you. Your account number will stay the same and your electricity service will continue without any interruptions. At this time, your rates will remain unchanged, and rates will be reviewed in future proceedings with the NWT Public Utility Board.
