New Municipal Transformer Station (MTS)
InnPower and Hydro One are working together to ensure a safe and reliable supply of power in your community.
To meet growing electricity demand for its customers in the Town of Innisfil and parts of the City of Barrie, InnPower has identified that a new Municipal Transformer Station (MTS) is required.
Through the transmission network, Hydro One provides safe and reliable power to InnPower. In order to power the new MTS, Hydro One will connect the new station to the electrical transmission system.
To facilitate the new MTS connection, this project requires Hydro One to remove approximately 6km of an existing 115kV transmission line and replace it with a new 230kV transmission line. The new line will be built with taller electrical infrastructure to support the 230kV line on the existing hydro corridor between Hydro One’s Barrie Transformer Station and the new InnPower MTS.
The new MTS will be on InnPower property, located north of Saunders Road and Lockhart Road in Barrie.
