Project Approvals

The replacement of underground transmission cables is subject to the Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for Minor Transmission Facilities (Hydro One, 2016), in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act. The Class EA is a streamlined planning process that ensures that minor transmission projects that have a predictable range of effects have feasible environmental mitigation and/or protection measures in place.

The Class EA process for this project was completed in June 2020.

In addition, Leave to Construct approval from the Ontario Energy Board was approved in 2021.

The drop-down menu below includes materials shared with the public during the Class EA.

All necessary permits and approvals will also be in place.
