"As stewards of Ontario's transmission system, Hydro One is committed to prudently investing in its transmission system, such as a station refurbishment that strengthens capacity, to support our province's energy needs," said Sandy Struthers, COO & EVP Strategic Planning, Hydro One. "These investments will improve electricity reliability in Toronto and the GTA today and for the future."
"Ontario is committed to building a safe, clean and reliable energy system for all, including new power lines that expand the grid," said Bob Delaney, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Energy. "Today's announcement will strengthen and modernize our shared energy infrastructure, ensuring efficient, affordable electricity supply for a growing population."
Through its innovative asset analytics tool, Hydro One is able to identify and monitor the condition of all of its critical assets and make more effective and prudent investment decisions. Replacing critical assets as they approach end of life is key in ensuring reliability, and Hamilton investments underscore this focus across the province.
