Planning process
We are committed to listening and incorporating your feedback into the planning stages of
the InnPower MTS and 230kV Line project. The planning of this project will follow the
“Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Minor Transmission Facilities (2022)”,
established in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.
This planning process applies to transmission projects that are carried out routinely and
have predictable environmental effects that can be readily managed. Rooted in community
engagement and consultation, the environmental assessment evaluates the project to
minimize social, economic and environmental effects.
Engagement with Indigenous leadership and communities, community members, municipalities,
government agencies, interest groups and others through opportunities like community
open houses is an important part of the environmental assessment.
Following the Class EA, this project will also require Ontario Energy Board (OEB)
approval to construct the line under Section 92 of the OEB Act.
