Municipal Transformer Station
Halton Hills Hydro is committed to providing safe, reliable, and economic distribution of electricity.
Our core values are:
- Safety (Employee and Public);

- Reliability; and
- Profitability (Shareholder).
As part of our commitment to providing power to our customers, we are being proactive to meet future load demand and are in the initial stages of developing and proposing a Municipal Transformer Station (MTS). Our proposed MTS Project meets our core values in the area of reliability and customer service.
What is a Municipal Transformer Station (MTS)?
- A MTS is high voltage transformation station where a transmission class voltage (230kV) is converted to a distribution class voltage (27.6kV). The purpose of the MTS is to provide an additional reliable source of power to address increased electricity demand as a result of new residential and industrial development in the Town of Halton Hills.
Where is the MTS being constructed?
- Steeles Avenue corridor between Trafalgar Road and James Snow Parkway.
Why is the MTS being constructed?
- Existing supply facilities are nearing capacity and with increasing development within the Town of Halton Hills, additional supply capacity will be needed to supply new customers and continue to provide reliable power to existing customers.

Current Status and Progress:
- Halton Hills Hydro has completed and filed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA)
- As part of the process Halton Hills Hydro Inc. held a Public Information Centre (PIC) at Hornby Golf & Country Club to inform the public of the project. In addition advertisements had been placed in local papers to provide further information.
In an effort to keep our customers informed of the proceedings, you will find below documents detailing the Class EA and alternative site investigations.
