Ontario Moves Ahead With $1.5‑Billion Underwater Power Link

Ontario is moving forward with a major $1.5‑billion project to build an underwater electricity transmission line beneath Lake Ontario, a first for the province and a significant step toward securing Toronto’s long‑term energy needs.

The new line will carry up to 900 megawatts of power from the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station to Toronto’s eastern downtown, providing enough electricity to supply roughly 900,000 homes. Provincial planners say Toronto’s grid is on track to reach capacity in the 2030s, driven by rapid population growth, new transit lines, and major developments across the city.

By routing the cable underwater, the province avoids the constraints of building new transmission corridors through dense urban areas. Officials describe the project as essential to “future‑proofing” the city’s electricity system and ensuring reliable power for decades.

Construction is expected to take between seven and ten years, with completion targeted around 2037.
