Site work for a mixed-use development in Sudbury, Ontario. Conceptual plans call for site work for a power facility; and road / highway.

The Northeast Power Line project will see the construction of a new 500-kilovolt transmission line spanning about 200 km between the Hanmer (Sudbury) and Mississagi (Blind River) transformer stations. The project will reinforce the transmission system in the region and meet both residential and commercial electrical needs. The Mississagi to Third Line; an approximately 75 km, 230-kilovolt transmission line between Mississagi Transformer Station (west of Sudbury) and Third Line Transformer Station (Sault Ste. Marie). The Hanmer to Mississagi Line; an approximately 205 km, 500-kilovolt transmission line between Hanmer Transformer Station (Greater Sudbury) and Mississagi Transformer Station (west of Sudbury). The project will be constructed parallel to an existing line within an existing corridor and includes the reconfiguration and expansion of both stations to accommodate the new line. TIMELINE: Hydro One will host two in-person community open houses in Elliot Lake and Hanmer later this month as it begins the process of building new transmission lines in the region to support growing electricity demands in the province. An Environmetal Assessment has been completed by the owner. Community Open Houses took place late March 2024, through which the owner will engage further with local community members, Indigenous communities and other stakeholders, industry bodies, municipalities and businesses to understand a lot more about the local environment and requirements. Hydro One has said it will offer First Nations communities a 50 per cent equity stake in the transmission line component of the project. * A contact at the owner is not released at this time.
