Ontario to Sell 60% of Hydro One in IPO

Posted by April 16, 2015

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said on Thursday her Liberal government would sell up to 60 percent of the province's electrical utility Hydro One, but would limit minority shareholders to 10 percent stakes.
 
Canada's most populous province will continue to regulate electricity rates, Wynne said, and the proceeds from the sale will be used to fund transit and infrastructure.
 
Wynne said David Denison, former head of the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, would replace Sandra Pupatello as Hydro One's chair.
