New Transmission Line Delivering Affordable, Reliable Electricity Across the Region
Ontario is delivering on its promise to provide reliable, affordable electricity across the province with the activation of the East-West Tie, a new 450 km transmission line that runs from Wawa to Thunder Bay. This new transmission infrastructure will provide flexibility and capacity that is essential for building prosperous communities and supporting future Northern economic development initiatives, including the Critical Minerals Strategy, as we better connect mines in the north with the growing electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing sector in the south.
The government accelerated the delivery of this new transmission line by directing the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to award NextBridge Leave to Construct in 2019. Following this direction, the project was completed on schedule and went into service on March 31, 2022.
