Our Mission

 The Institute of Power Engineers (IPE) is a Canadian national organization formed in 1940 to increase safety and reliability of Power Plant operations and represent all Power Engineers.

The Hamilton Branch of the Institute of Power Engineers is a part of a National organization dedicated to promoting the role played by Power Engineers in our power-dependent economy. It is a profession with an early established history. Locally, we represent Power Engineers from across Niagara and West Ontario. 

Hamilton is one of Ontario’s most important industrial powerhouses, home to some of the biggest steelmakers, food/beverage, and petrochemical companies in the province. It is essential that we maintain a strong voice, clear principles, and commitment to safety and integrity.

The Institute of Power Engineers fosters business relations, social activities and provides technical presentations for the exchange of knowledge and skill. Our web site has been created to serve as a resource centre which covers issues related to Power Engineering. We hope it is both informative and beneficial to everyone who visits.
