Connect your generator
Hydro One connects generating facilities to the transmission and distribution network, delivering the electricity they produce at hydroelectric, coal, natural gas, wind and nuclear facilities to businesses and people across Ontario. We work with our customers to plan for the future and make sure facilities are in place to deliver electricity where it needs to be.
Connecting to Hydro One's Distribution or Transmission systems involves several steps and both the generator and Hydro One have distinct responsibilities.
