Hydro seeks responses to line routes

Hydro One is seeking responses to three routes that could be developed for two new transmission lines between Strathroy-Caradoc and Lakeshore.

They will cut through farms.


Five community open houses will be held by Hydro One in late March and early April to share project updates and present route alternatives to gather local feedback to evaluate the route alternatives and select a preferred route proposed for the Longwood to Lakeshore project.


Hydro One vice president Sonny Karunakaran said the company plans to conduct additional studies and continue to gather input from Indigenous communities, elected officials, property owners, businesses, residents, and other interest groups to better evaluate the routes and select the preferred route for the project, which is anticipated in early 2025.
