Hydro One is upgrading aging infrastructure from the 1950s at Gage and Kenilworth Transmission Stations, including transformers and smart equipment to monitor, protect and control electrical equipment. Alectra Utilities is supporting the projects by reconfiguring infrastructure at both stations and minimizing service interruptions to their customers during project construction. Construction on these projects is well underway and is anticipated to be completed in 2023.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This summer, Hydro One filed its Joint Rate Application with the Ontario Energy Board (OEB), which includes its 2023-2027 Investment Plan for the company's transmission and distribution system. The five-year Investment Plan, informed by customer feedback, will reduce the impacts of power outages province-wide for its distribution customers by approximately 25 per cent. By investing in the electricity system and renewing critical infrastructure, Hydro One's plan will improve service for customers, prepare the system for climate change and better protect small businesses and large industrial customers from power outages that could result in millions of dollars in lost productivity.\n \n \n \"As\n \n Hamilton\n \n continues to grow, Hydro One is making investments in the electricity system to strengthen economic prosperity, improve power resiliency and prepare for climate change. In collaboration with Alectra, these projects will improve power reliability for customers and strengthen our electricity network to keep\n \n Ontario\n \n competitive,\" said\n...
