KEEPING ONTARIANS AND OUR ELECTRICITY SYSTEM SAFE
We recognize the critical role we play in powering communities across the province. This is a responsibility to employees, customers, businesses and the people of Ontario that we take very seriously.
Since the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak began, Hydro One’s Pandemic Team along with our leadership, have been actively monitoring the issues to ensure we can continue to deliver the service Ontarians depend on while keeping our employees, customers and the public safe. While the risk in Ontario remains low, we believe we can best protect our people and our operations by taking proactive measures.

Over the days and weeks to come, we will work with the sector and government to enhance safety protocols and champion the needs of electricity customers in Ontario.
