Ontario Building New Transmission Lines to Power Growth Across the Province
Ontario is growing fast and so is our energy demand. That’s why we’re planning early and building one of the largest expansions of transmission infrastructure in the province’s history.
The four projects include two new lines (Bowmanville–Toronto and Windsor–Lakeshore) and two major upgrades (Orangeville–Barrie and Manby–Riverside).
These projects will support job creation in sectors like auto manufacturing and agri-food, particularly in high-growth regions like Windsor-Essex and Toronto.
We are also reinforcing our strong support for meaningful Indigenous engagement by backing Hydro One’s commitment to offering 50-50 equity partnerships to Indigenous communities on new transmission line projects— supporting meaningful economic reconciliation and long-term benefits.
Together, these projects represent bold action by our government to build the infrastructure needed to power economic growth, protect jobs and secure Ontario’s clean energy future.
These actions are part of Ontario’s first Integrated Energy Plan — being released later this month — to protect Ontario by significantly expanding energy infrastructure to secure reliable and affordable energy that can power economic growth and reduce Ontario’s reliance on energy providers from outside the province.
