A Message from Mark Poweska, President & CEO

As you have likely heard, Hydro One has recently purchased Peterborough Distribution Inc. and we are currently engaged in bringing the companies together. We are proud to be part of the community and energizing life in Peterborough, Lakefield and Norwood.

As a customer-driven company, we strive to offer and advocate for convenience, flexibility and choice. We’re excited to show you the benefits of being a Hydro One customer.
 


Energizing Life

Energizing life means more than supplying safe and reliable power, it also means standing with our customers and communities, especially during these unprecedented times.

Recently, we announced funding to support YES Shelter for Youth and Families in Peterborough, a community organization that offers critical services to support hundreds of vulnerable youth and families in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. The funding has allowed YES Shelter to purchase a truck to support their critical operations in the community. We could not be more proud of this partnership, and are looking forward to the local opportunities that lie ahead.

To learn more about Hydro One’s partnership with YES Shelter, read our press release.

We’re also committed to investing in the local economy. As a part of Hydro One’s acquisition, we will develop a new operations centre and fleet maintenance facility in the area.
