How we

got here

Spark Power was founded in Ontario in 2009 and has grown into one of North America’s leading independent electrical services providers.

Establishing Regional Roots

Spark Power built a legacy of electrical and power solutions in Canada and the U.S. over the past 50+ years.

Raising Our Voltage

While we started as a regional service provider, Spark Power steadily expanded our expertise in low, medium, and high-voltage construction, maintenance, engineering, and renewable energy services.

Growing With Our People

Through strategic growth and integration of specialized teams, Spark Power now employs nearly 1,000 professionals, including engineers, technologists, and certified technicians.

Where We Are Now

Today, our history of continuous innovation positions Spark Power as a trusted leader in the electrical and energy services industry.

Partnering with

Indigenous communities

Engagement can’t wait for permitting on utility projects that cross or border Indigenous lands. Spark engages communities early and through the full project lifecycle. We respect Indigenous rights and community protocols, and we create real participation through employment, procurement, subcontracting, training, and partnerships.

  • Workforce Development

    Apprenticeships, labour partnerships, and training programs that bring Indigenous talent onto Spark crews, not just into project commitments.

  • Community Investment

    Scholarships, career fairs, and initiatives for youth, women, and girls that build long-term capacity in the communities where we work.

  • Community Engagement

    Rights recognition, an understanding of each community’s history and future goals, and a corporate champion accountable for the relationship.

  • Business Development

    Progressive procurement and vendor policies that open upstream and downstream opportunities for Indigenous businesses through direct partnerships.

  • Environmental Stewardship

    Eco-friendly construction, clean work sites, and a safety-first approach that protects the land and the people working on it.

Safety at every job,

shift, and site
