Based on the 2025 Employee Salaries disclosure in New Brunswick's Public Accounts · 2,379 NB Power employees paid $80,000 or more
New Brunswick Power Corporation is New Brunswick's largest Crown corporation and, on this disclosure, its highest-paying large employer. In 2025, 2,379 NB Power employees were paid $80,000 or more — 89% of everyone disclosed across the province's Crown corporations. The most common band is $100,000–$124,999; 175 people sit in bands starting at $200,000 or above, and 1,107 are in the two lowest bands, between $80,000 and $124,999.
The highest band on the list, $625,000–$649,999, holds one person: Keith L. Cronkhite. New Brunswick publishes no job titles, so the disclosure does not say what role — or what kind of payment — sits behind a figure: a band this high can be an executive salary or a one-time settlement, and the list does not distinguish them.
A note on the figures: New Brunswick discloses each salary as a $25,000 band, not an exact amount. Everything on this page shows the disclosed band. Where two people share a band, the disclosure says nothing about who earns more, so the tables below are grouped by band rather than ranked.
The full distribution of NB Power's disclosed workforce. Salaries below $80,000 are not disclosed, so the bottom of the pay scale is not on the list.

NB Power is in a different league from the province's other Crown corporations, both in how many people it discloses and how high its bands run. The rest of the sector — NB Liquor, Cannabis NB, Opportunities NB, NB Housing and a handful of smaller agencies — together disclose 300 people.

How many NB Power employees reached the disclosure threshold each year. The threshold was $60,000 in 2020 and $80,000 from 2021, so 2020 is not comparable with later years, and a fixed dollar threshold means ordinary wage settlements carry more people over it each year. Read this as a count of people disclosed, not a headcount.
| Year | People disclosed |
|---|---|
| 2020 | 2,400 |
| 2021 | 2,121 |
| 2022 | 2,180 |
| 2023 | 2,218 |
| 2024 | 2,188 |
| 2025 | 2,379 |
Each year the Government of New Brunswick publishes an Employee Salaries list in its Public Accounts, naming public-sector employees paid at or above the threshold ($80,000 since 2021) together with their employer and a $25,000 salary band. Crown corporations including NB Power are covered alongside government departments, the health networks, school districts and colleges. No job titles are published for NB Power. Because bands rather than exact salaries are disclosed, any average computed from this list is approximate, and this page avoids them.
