Hydro One Indigenous Partnerships

In 2022, Hydro One announced an industry leading Equity Partnership Model that offers First Nations a 50 per cent equity stake in all new, future large-scale capital transmission line projects with a value exceeding $100 million. Already, Hydro One and nine First Nations partners have entered into agreements which provide them with the opportunity to invest in the Waasigan Transmission Line, under development for northwest Ontario. We are developing five more new transmission lines using the new Equity Partnership Model with First Nations communities to power industry and job creation. We remain committed to true partnership, and to increasing the goods and services we purchase from Indigenous businesses.
