There are three separate functions in the supply of electricity – production, transmission and retail distribution. Yukon Energy produces and transmits most of the Yukon’s electricity. It also sells power directly to some retail customers. Yukon Electrical Company buys electricity from Yukon Energy and then sells it to customers. Yukon Energy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Yukon Development Corporation (YDC). YDC is a Crown Corporation which means that Yukon Energy is a publicly-owned company. Yukon Electrical Company is a privately owned company of the ATCO Corporation in Alberta.
