Canada's construction news
SUDBURY, ONT. —Hydro One Networks has announced it is holding two community open houses in northern Ontario as part of a new community consultation phase for the Hanmer to Mississagi Line.
The open houses will be held March 19 and 20 in Elliot Lake and Hanmer. Later this spring, Hydro One plans to host additional community open houses in Wharncliffe, stated a release. Once built, the new 500-kilovolt transmission line will span approximately 200 kilometres, between the Hanmer Transformer Station near Sudbury and the Mississagi Transformer Station near Wharncliffe. The line is expected to be in service by the end of 2029.
Hydro One will offer nearby First Nations a 50 per cent equity stake in the transmission line component of the project in furtherance of its reconciliation policies. “Incorporating local feedback and knowledge is integral to this project as we plan and design the future transmission line,” said Sonny Karunakaran, vice-president with Hydro One, in a statement. “There is incredible potential for growth and development in northeastern Ontario and this new transmission line will help unlock the region’s prosperity.
