Toronto Electric Light Company

Toronto Electric Light Company

Toronto Electric Light Company was an early electricity supplier in Toronto, founded and presided over by John Joseph Wright (1847-1922) and owned by Sir Henry Pellatt.

TELC provided lighting in Toronto, replacing the oil and kerosene lamps in the old city of Toronto.

The company was later acquired by Ontario Hydro, after private utilities ended in the early 1900s under the order of Sir Adam Beck.
