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.
