Hydro One Networks Inc. (Hydro One) is proposing to build an approximately 180 kilometre double-circuit 500,000 volt (500 kV) transmission line on a widened existing transmission corridor from the Bruce Power Facility (Bruce) in Kincardine to Hydro Ones switching station in Milton (Milton). The Ontario Power Authority identified and confirmed the need and route for the new transmission line earlier this year. The Bruce to Milton line will increase transmission capability to reliably and safely deliver approximately 3,000 additional megawatts of emission-free electricity from sources in the Bruce area to the provincial grid. The project is subject to approvals under both the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and Environmental Assessment (EA) Acts. The new line is planned to be in service by December 2011. Reference Route and Potential Local Route Refinements The reference route for the Bruce to Milton Project is shown on the map above. Potential route refinements in the Brockton, Hanover, Camp Creek (Municipality of West Grey) and Halton Hills areas are now under consideration. These areas were identified based on public and stakeholder feedback received during Hydro Ones extensive consultation program conducted over the past year. Consideration of potential route refinements was originally contemplated to occur during the environmental assessment process. Hydro One is undertaking this work earlier to ensure that all potentially affected property owners are informed and can fully participate in the EA and OEB processes going forward. Environmental Assessment Process Update The proposed EA Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Bruce to Milton Project was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment on August 4, 2007. Hydro One has amended the ToR to address public and stakeholder comments received during the review period and on October 30, 2007, resubmitted a revised ToR to the Ministry of the Environment for final review. We expect a decision on the ToR before the end of this year. The ToR provides a road-map as to how the EA process will be conducted. Keeping You Informed The local route refinements may potentially affect new or additional property owners. To ensure full access to all project information and Hydro One staff and consultants, two additional public information centres (PICs) are planned. Maps illustrating the potential local route refinements and the materials presented at our first series of PICs held last spring will be available. Hydro One is currently developing a process to assess these potential route refinements and will be seeking public and stakeholder input on the process and its application.
