At Hydro One, we’ve been entrusted with one very important role. We deliver electricity safely and reliably to more than a million homes and businesses throughout Ontario. For over one hundred years, we’ve been an integral part of ensuring that the electricity that powers Ontario’s economic engine continues to flow – when it’s needed, where it’s needed.

Hydro One operates and maintains 97 per cent of the transmission network in the province, carrying electricity from generating stations to local distribution companies and large industrial customers, and has Ontario’s largest distribution network. Hydro One’s world-leading grid operations centre in Barrie controls the province’s electrical grid using state-of-the-art equipment.

This work is only one aspect of who we are as an organization. We are recognized for our corporate citizenship and we are doing our part to minimize the impact we have on the environment. Over the next decade, we expect to renew our transmission and distribution systems to enable Ontario’s Green Energy Act vision. As well, we do our part to educate the public about electrical safety and conservation.

We also invest in local conservation initiatives, and in First Nation, Métis, and other local communities that our work touches. We strive to build good, respectful relationships and promote healthy communities and families. Our employees connect us to communities across Ontario. Not only do they care about their work, but they care about the people they are impacting.

We are a team of more than 4,500 good corporate citizens. Our staff takes pride in our shared efforts, and generously contributes to an annual, employee-selected ‘charity of choice’ campaign, in addition to volunteering outside the organization. We support and respect that, and we also match individual contributions to educational institutions.
