1962 converted the Grand Falls, Windsor, Bishop's Falls and Botwood distribution systems from 50 cycles (50 Hz voltage signal) to the North American standard of 60 cycles.
1966 Union Electric Light and Power Company became part of the Newfoundland Light and Power Company.
1966 the company had eleven generating plants with an installed capacity of 95 MW.
1970 the company sold over the one billion kW·h (1 TW·h).
