We're going to plan, build and design a grid that meets the needs of Ontarians today and into the future. This means improving reliability through investing in technology that will allow us to modernize our grid. Sustainability is also central to our strategy. As we prepare for more severe storms, we will consider climate change in our planning to increase resilience and lower our environmental footprint.
