Central Ontario

Etobicoke Greenway Project

Energizing life by building safer and more resilient communities

To meet the growing demand for electricity in west and central Toronto, Hydro One has rebuilt a non-energized 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line into an energized 230-kV line. This 6.5 km line is located on the east side of an existing hydro corridor that extends between Richview and Manby Transformer Stations in Etobicoke, as shown on the map below.

Etobicoke Greenway Trail

Hydro One is committed to formalizing a path used by the community by investing in a paved trail through part of the corridor to be enjoyed by the community.

Building a stronger grid for Ontario's future

Project update

To ensure energy is available when and where it's needed today and in the future, Hydro One rebuilt an existing non-energized 115 kilovolt (kV) transmission line into a 230 kV line between Richview and Manby Transmission Stations. The construction of this line was completed in 2025.

The line is in service and the energization of the second phase of the line was completed in late March 2026.

Restoring the corridor will begin in the spring , and will include re-seeding grass where it has been impacted by construction vehicles and work areas.

Building safer and more resilient communities

Etobicoke Greenway Trail

Hydro One is committed to investing in the corridor so it can be enjoyed by the community once the project is complete. We are currently developing a design concept that balances public input with Hydro One and municipal technical and safety considerations.

We are continuing to work through the details of this plan with organizations and look forward to providing you with an update mid-2026.

Transmission line planning process

To build this new transmission line Hydro One completed the Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities (2022) in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. This is an important part of the planning process to assess potential natural, economic, social and cultural effects and determine measures to avoid or minimize impacts.
