Commerce Transformer Station and Line Project

As industry and business grows in the City of Markham, so does the need for safe, clean and reliable power. To energize a new data storage facility planned at Highway 7 and Commerce Valley Drive E, Hydro One is initiating a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to build the following proposed infrastructure:

• A new 230 kilovolt (kV) transformer station (TS) located on the facility’s property – referred to as Commerce TS.
• A new junction station (JCT), which will transition power from an overhead transmission line to an underground cable.
• A new 230 kV transmission line connection which includes:
• An overhead transmission line between the new JCT location and Hydro One’s existing transmission lines located east of Rodick Road.
• An underground cable between the new JCT location and the new Commerce TS.
