Hydro One has completed the Etobicoke Greenway Transmission Line, a 6.5-kilometre, 230-kilovolt project delivered on time and $10 million under budget. The line connects Etobicoke’s Richview and Manby transformer stations, providing up to 300 megawatts of electricity to western Toronto, southern Mississauga, and Oakville.

  • The project replaced an idle transmission line and upgraded transformer stations.
  • Construction began in late 2025, creating 100 jobs.
  • Hydro One sourced approximately 98% of materials from Canadian companies.

This project enhances electricity capacity in the Greater Toronto Area while showcasing Hydro One’s commitment to efficient infrastructure development, which is vital for supporting regional growth and competitiveness.

The line spans through an existing corridor between Etobicoke’s Richview and Manby transformer station, and will deliver up to 300 megawatts of electricity to western Toronto, southern Mississauga, and Oakville.

The project involved the replacement of an existing idle transmission line, along with upgrading the capacity of the Richview and Manby transformer stations. Hydro One procured approximately 98 per cent of the materials needed to perform this work from Canadian companies.

Construction began in late 2025, supporting 100 jobs throughout the process. The project came in $10 million under budget, with these savings put toward a recreational trail alongside the transmission corridor.

“The Etobicoke Greenway transmission line adds critical capacity for Toronto and the western GTA while demonstrating Hydro One’s continued ability to deliver complex infrastructure safely, on time and below budget. As Ontario’s trusted developer and operator of transmission lines, we play a key role in building an electricity system that supports growth, creates jobs and keeps the province competitive for decades to come,” said Hydro One president and CEO Megan Telford.
