Holland Power Services

What Holland Power Services does

Holland Power Services is a Canadian power restoration and utility-services firm headquartered in Hanwell, New Brunswick. Founded in 1996 by Earl Holland as E. Holland Contracting Inc., the company was acquired by Alectra in 2021 and, following Alectra's 2024 acquisition of Gagnon Line Construction, became the largest power restoration response team in Eastern Canada. The company operates from at least seven division offices across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Maine, and holds OEM authorized-installer relationships with more than ten major equipment manufacturers.

Holland's core offering is 24/7 emergency power restoration, backed by a fleet of 350+ line trucks and a mobilization pool of 1,000+ qualified line personnel that can be dispatched within hours to utility outages caused by storms, hurricanes, and winter events. Beyond emergency response, the firm provides substation maintenance and testing (transformer diagnostics, tap changer maintenance, circuit breaker testing, relay programming, oil analysis to IEEE standards), utility line construction and maintenance for overhead and underground systems up to 35kV, and specialized equipment services such as cable location, thermal imaging, fault location, transformer degasification, and oil purification.

Revenue is generated through professional-services contracts — predominantly multi-year direct contracts with electric utilities, supplemented by project work for industrial clients (Irving Oil, JD Irving, Twin Rivers Pulp & Paper) and government/municipal accounts (NB Power, Saint John Energy, DND - Canada, City of Summerside). Pricing is quote-based and project-specific; no public pricing exists. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting investor-owned utilities across North America; named customers include Dominion Energy, National Grid, Eversource, Hydro One, Nova Scotia Power, Emera, Duke Energy, Florida Power & Light, Alabama Power, Georgia Power, Central Hudson, Central Maine Power, Green Mountain Power, NYSEG, RG&E, PECO, PPL, Hydro Quebec, and Bahamas Power & Light. Holland is a private, subsidiary-level operating company under the Alectra family and discloses no financial statements, app, API, or software platform.
