April 24, 2026
The Government of Ontario has made the Red Lake Transmission Line a priority project by directing the Ontario Energy Board to designate Hydro One to develop and construct the line in northwest Ontario, north of Dryden.
“Our government is on a mission to grow our economy by generating more reliable hydro power in the North and electrifying one of Ontario’s most mineral rich regions with a new transmission line,” said Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines. “We are accelerating the transmission line to power new mines, strengthen energy security and create good jobs. Ontario’s plan will unlock more than 5,800 good-paying jobs and unlock $830 million in economic potential, all delivered in true partnership with First Nations.”
