Project Approval Requirements:

The Kapuskasing Area Transmission Line Reinforcement project is subject to the Class Environmental Assessment (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 has proven effective in ensuring that minor transmission projects that have a predictable range of effects have feasible environmental mitigation and/or protection measures in place. Through the Class EA screening process, the project was assessed as having insignificant environmental effects.

In addition, Section 92 approval from the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is required for this project. Click here for more information about our application to the OEB (please look under EB-2018-0098).
