Canada: Essex County region will soon see enough electricity to supply a city the size of Ottawa thanks to $580 M in investments from Hydro One.
The investments include new and previously announced projects expected to improve local reliability and increase the electricity supply.
In June, Hydro One outlined a multi-stage project to increase the region’s power supply, including a new transmission line from Chatham to Lakeshore requested by the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO).
Hydro One’s other investments include two new transmission stations in Leamington, one of which is now in service with the other expected to be in service by year-end; two stations in Lakeshore, which are currently in the planning stages; transmission equipment upgrades in Kingsville and Tecumseh; and innovative smart technologies, such as remote switches and fault indicators, pole replacements and hazardous tree trimming to reduce the number, size and duration of distribution system power outages in Essex County.
