Electricity is produced at more than 140 generating stations in Ontario. Our primary sources of energy are nuclear, hydro, gas/oil, wind, biofuel and solar.
TRANSMISSION
An extensive network of transmission lines move electricity at very high voltage over long distances; from generators to where it is needed.
DISTRIBUTION
Utility sub-stations and transformers reduce the high voltage electricity from generators to a safe level for delivery to homes and businesses.
