There were many children of NTPC workers who competed at the 2016 Arctic Winter Games in Nuuk, Greenland.

Gary Gazanka's (Hay River) daughter Taryn competed in futsal (indoor soccer) and brought home a bronze ulu!
Sharmayne and Mark Horton's son, Zack, won a Silver Ulu in Bantam Hockey!
A new type of protective device, called a TripSaver, was installed on the distribution line to Dettah recently. This device allows for instantaneous tripping and reclosing for momentary faults. It is less expensive than a line recloser and it is also possible for it to be installed in an existing cut-out switch. The potential usefulness of this device on NTPC's system was identified by Power Lineperson Deaon Hope. Thank-you Deaon for your efforts to improve service to our customers and lower operational costs!
Inuvik student, Kenzie Cockney enjoyed the interactive display with Corey Baetz, Erin Dean and Chris Kemshall at the Inuvik Career Fair on March 3.
On Thursday, March 3, Hay River Town Council passed a motion to move forward with the next steps towards Northwest Territories Power Corporation (NTPC) acquiring the electrical distribution system and entering into a franchise agreement to distribute electricity to the town. The Town's franchise agreement with its current service provider, Northland Utilities expires in November, 2016.
NTPC is pleased to offer affordable power, along with the reliable power we already provide, to the residents and businesses of Hay River.
