Of great concern to the
people of Ontario today is the
Provincial Governrnent plans
for the expansion of Ontario
Hydro transmission lines
aroughout the Province. It was
back on filly 11, 197,..,• that the
former Minister of Energy,
Darcy McKeough outlined the
plans of the government and of
the Hydro Corporation with
respect to the generation of
electricity and its distribution.
Ontario Hydro's goal is for
the construction of nine new
nuclear power stations by 1993 --
at a cost of more than $105 bill.
ion . The plans call for two
thirds of the Province energy
needs to be supplied by nuclear
power within 20 years.
The five projects approved
for construction in July were;
construction of a 2, 000 mega-
watt oil fired generating station
at Wesleyville in Hope Town-
ship, a second nuclear station at
Pickering and two heavy water
plants for the Bruce nuclear
generating plant, This would
involve a total investment in
excess of $2.6 million.
The major transmission corr-
idors that were chosen were a
500 KV transmission line from
the Middleport Transformer
station, near Nanticoke, to the
Cherrywood Transformer station,
near Pickering, at an estimated
cost of $360 million and a 500
KV line from Bardley Junction
to Orangeville through the Lime-
house crossing south to Milton
and the Toronto area.
In the eastern part of the
province, along Lake Ontario,
Commonwealth Associates Inc-
orporated, an independent
organization has studied the
route for a transmission corrid-
or between the Pickering and
Lennox generating stations.
Their findings are now being
reviewed by the Solandt Com-
mission, a commission establ-
ished by the Government to
discuss the matter with Hydro,
the public and interested groups
and make recommendations.
In addition to this govern-
ment approved program, Ont-
ario Hydro has plans for a
second 500 KV corridor to join
the Bruce complex to the Tor-
onto area, andhas expressed
the need to supply 500 KV pow-
er to the London and Kitchener
areas by 1980. The supply of
500 KV power to Kitchener
forined part of the Bradley to
Georgetown Environmental
Study released by Ontario
Hydro in January 1975.
These projects comprise Ont-
ario Hydro's expansion program
from 1977 to 1982.
