Toronto Hydro Supporting Hydro One’s Power Restoration Efforts
April 8, 2025
Toronto Hydro supported Hydro One’s restoration efforts in central and eastern Ontario with over 70 members of the Toronto Hydro skilled worker community, following an ice storm that caused significant damage throughout Hydro One’s service territory over the weekend.
Hydro One was dealing with significant damage due to freezing rain and ice accumulation. The storm is the most severe weather event the utility has faced since the ice storm of 1998, Hydro One said on social media.
Hydro One made a formal request for storm assistance through the Ontario Mutual Assistance Group (OnMAG) and accepted Toronto Hydro’s storm assistance proposal.
- Hydro One Limited, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is Ontario’s largest electricity transmission and distribution provider with approximately 1.5 million valued customers
- Toronto Hydro and Hydro One are members of the Ontario Mutual Assistance Group (OnMAG). OnMAG offers emergency coordination and best-practice sharing between the member Ontario electrical utility companies. The aim of this group is to bolster capabilities within the province to respond to province-specific emergencies
