The announcement indicates that the project plans to construct a new 11-kilometer, 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line within the transmission corridor between the Hawthorne Transformer Station (TS) and the Orléans TS in the Greater Ottawa area.

The project also includes upgrading the existing 115 kV transmission line between the two substations to operate at a 230 kV voltage level.

The announcement states that the project, with a total investment of approximately CAD 100 million, is expected to enhance transmission capacity in the area, improve system regional transfer capability, and increase power supply reliability. The project is scheduled to be operational by 2029.

Pursuant to Section 92 of the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, submitting a construction permit application is a necessary procedure for Ontario's transmission companies to obtain provincial energy board approval for constructing, expanding, or reinforcing transmission systems. The application documents include detailed information on the project route, design plan, schedule, and costs.
