Investor presentation summary
8 Oct, 2026Investment plan and rationale
Filed Oct. 7, 2026, the proposed 2028-2032 investment plan averages ~$3.3B annually for transmission and ~$2.2B for distribution.
Plan priorities include renewing aging infrastructure, connecting new homes and businesses, expanding capacity, and improving reliability and resilience while balancing affordability.
Ontario electricity demand could rise as much as 65% by 2050, driven by population, industrial growth and electrification.
More than 100,000 customers provided input; 68-88% across customer groups supported investment at or above draft-plan levels, while 77% supported distribution reliability investment and 82% wanted transmission renewal.
Planned capital and system outcomes
Proposed JRAP capital totals ~$27B for 2028-2032; the separate affiliate transmission-line portfolio adds ~$5B in disclosed capital, for ~$32B combined.
Transmission investments include ~$8.3B for new lines, ~$4.4B for station renewal and ~$2.7B for line renewal; planned capacity supports 6,000+ MW of new customer load.
Distribution plans ~$3.8B for growth and connections, ~$3.1B for asset renewal and ~$1.6B for reliability and resilience; intended to connect 94,000+ new homes and businesses.
Planned outcomes include 1,400 km of transmission line upgrades, 85,000+ distribution poles replaced or refurbished, smart switches on 90% of major distribution lines, and 5,400 residential energy storage systems.
More than 90% of project procurement spend is directed to Canadian and Ontario suppliers; non-wires solutions are expected to avoid $110M in traditional poles-and-wires investment.
Customer bill impacts
For a typical year-round R1 customer using 750 kWh monthly with distribution rate protection, transmission bills rise $0.50/month in 2028 and an average $1.14/month annually over 2028-2032.
For the same customer profile, total distribution bills fall $3.31/month in 2028 and average $0.10/month lower over five years; base charges fall $0.10 in 2028 and are unchanged in 2029-2032.
Transmission bill estimates exclude Hydro One Sault Ste. Marie LP, which would add an average ~$0.02/month each year; estimates depend on OEB approval.
