Hydro One is set to begin construction on a new transmission line between Chatham and Lakeshore that will help to meet the region’s growing demand for energy.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the Chatham to Lakeshore Transmission Line project will take place on Monday at the Chatham Switching Station on Pinehurst Line.
Indigenous, regional, municipal, community and industry leaders will be in attendance at the ceremony to celebrate the milestone.
The new transmission line will be a double-circuit, 230-kilovolt line between the Chatham switching station and a newly built switching station in Lakeshore.
The line is expected to be in service before the end of 2025.
