The 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. Founded in 1882, TELC opened a steam driven power plant at Scott Street and The Esplanade. The plant was used to win a contract to provide night time street lighting, replacing the oil and kerosene lamps in the old city of Toronto on King, Queen and Yonge Streets. By 1884 it was "used by a number of prominent establishments"
