Hydro One and First Nations have been collaborating on early planning of three new transmission lines, with First Nations having chance to invest in a 50 per cent equity stake
The province's Minister of Energy paid a visit to Sault Ste. Marie this morning to announce the acceleration on a trio of transmission line projects — two of which have local implications.
Minister Smith said the two lines that will run between the Sault and Sudbury “are critical to supplying Algoma Steel’s transition to electric arc furnaces” and that they will “support additional load connections in the Sault Ste. Marie area and increase transfer capacity into northwestern Ontario.” Minister Smith continued by saying he has directed the Ontario Energy Board to declare each of the three new transmission lines as priority projects “so they can be in service sooner.”Providing remarks in Sault Ste. Marie on Monday, Hydro One CEO David Labeter said these projects are “a significant step towards both decarbonizing our local industries and making future job-creating investments in our region possible.
“We want to thank Todd Smith and his team for taking the time to meet with us and hearing our concerns about these projects,” Chief Crag Nootchai said. “To understand that reconciliation begins with including First Nations in the development of these major projects in our territories.”
