Preparing Toronto’s grid for growth
For Toronto Hydro, this conversation is already translating into action.
Through our 2025–2029 investment plan, we’re investing in expanding, modernizing and renewing the local grid to serve the current and future electricity needs of Toronto’s homes and businesses. The plan is designed to address several challenges facing the city, including economic growth, aging infrastructure, changing electricity use and the need for greater resilience.
As Toronto grows and customers increasingly turn to electricity to power their homes, vehicles and businesses, strengthening the grid will be critical to ensuring the city has the electricity infrastructure it needs. We’re making investments across the city, from infrastructure renewal and grid modernization to projects designed to increase capacity in growing areas.
We're also exploring new ways to make better use of the grid that already exists. Our Local Demand Response Program, for example, works with eligible customers to temporarily reduce electricity consumption during peak periods, helping manage local capacity constraints. Through our 2025 auction, we secured 12 megawatts of flexible local electricity capacity, the largest single-year procurement since the program launched in 2018. This capacity, equivalent to powering approximately 3,000 households, helped manage periods of peak demand in targeted areas of the city this past summer.
These investments and initiatives are part of a broader effort to ensure Toronto’s electricity system can evolve alongside the city.
At the Ontario Energy Conference, Jana and her fellow panelists will bring perspectives from across the energy sector to the discussion, exploring where Ontario is well-positioned for the future, where challenges remain and what will be needed to support the province’s next phase of growth.
