Canada, Ontario: Hydro One has announced the delivery of a new high-voltage transformer to Porcupine Transformer Station (TS) as part of an $80 million investment in the station. The TS is a critical connection point between northeast and northwest Ontario and once complete, the upgrades will strengthen reliability and resiliency of the electricity network in Timmins and surrounding region.
“As communities in northern Ontario continue to grow, it’s important to invest in the local electricity system to ensure reliable power for homes and businesses. Hydro One has a long history of operating a reliable transmission system and once this work is complete, it will strengthen the connections between the northeast and northwest and support the region as it continues to attract growth,” said Ryan Docherty, Vice President, Engineering and Construction Services, Hydro One.
This is the second of three transformers making the more than 1800 km journey to the TS. The third is expected in late 2025. The new transformer is part of the station investment that also includes the upgrade and replacement of switches, system protection and telecommunication equipment.
