To avoid the risks inherent to the area\u2019s high water table, the Mennonites build their homesteads along Steinbach Creek, to the northeast of what is now Main Street. The settlement grew slowly, with the population reaching a total of only 128 inhabitants by 1882.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the quiet nature and traditional beliefs of Steinbach\u2019s first settlers, the settlement didn\u2019t lag far behind Manitoba\u2019s other communities when it came to modernization. A small power plant was set up at the Steinbach Flour Mills in 1903. At first this only provided lighting for the mill and the homes of its owners, but soon electric street lighting was installed, and some nearby businesses were electrified. However, the power plant was too small to provide power beyond Reimer Avenue. Soon, additional plants were built to expand the reach of electricity.<\/p>\n<p>But there was still a problem. The electricity supplied by the diesel motors powering these plants was simply unaffordable for most. By 1924, electricity still cost 25 cents per kWh. In 1935, Steinbach\u2019s town board finally decided to remedy the issue, asking M. M. Penner, the owner of the Steinbach Lumber Yards, to built a system large enough to meet the entire town\u2019s demand for electricity. In December of 1936, the plant\u2014powered by two diesel engines supply a total of 120 horsepower\u2014was switched on. The Steinbach Light and Power Company, as Penner\u2019s endeavor was dubbed, was able to supply power at 12 cents per kWh, a significant reduction.<\/p>\n<p>In 1938, the Manitoba Power Commission (now Manitoba Hydro) was granted a contact to provide hydroelectric power for some of Steinbach\u2019s street lighting. MPC and Steinbach Light &amp; Power operated simultaneously until 1943, when MPC bought the latter out. This was the tipping point for Steinbach, and the electrification of the city was largely complete within a decade. However, it wasn\u2019t until 1957 that natural gas service was introduced to Steinbach, via the still under construction Trans-Canada Pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Manitoba Hydro is still the sole supplier of electricity to Steinbach\u2019s residents and businesses, and is the regulated provider of natural gas service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steinbach Electricity Retailers and Natural Gas Providers Homeowners and businesses in Steinbach receive all their electricity from a sole regulated supplier, Manitoba Hydro.
