This is a list of electrical generating stations in the Northwest Territories, Canada.
Although the territory is not connected to the North American power grid, there are two electric networks operating in the territory, the first one in the Yellowknife, Northwest Territories area and the other in Fort Smith. In most communities, loads are served by local diesel generators. The government-owned Northwest Territories Power Corporation is in charge of power generation.
