About Hydro One Networks

At Hydro One Networks, we own and maintain Ontario's electricity transmission system and the distribution system that delivers electricity to your home or business. We don't generate power — we transmit and deliver it to you, safely and reliably.

Transmit from generators
We own and maintain Ontario's transmission system that carries the electricity at high voltage from various generation points.

Deliver to you
We own and maintain the distribution system of power lines that deliver electricity as lower voltage to your home or business. The distribution system is connected to our transmission system.

Connect you
We connect your home or business to electrical power and maintain that connection, safely and reliably.

Restore your power
We restore your power in case of outages or emergencies.

Read your meter
We read your meter and calculate your charges for billing purposes.

Provide account administration
We maintain a current and historical record of your account, including your consumption and any electricity retailer choices you make.

Maintain our property, stations and easements
We trim trees around our lines, towers and buildings, as well as remove standing water, grass, garbage or debris on our rights of way (ROW) and easements. Simply call our Customer Communications Centre at 1-888-664-9376 or send an e-mail to request any of these services. We will respond within three business days.

Hydro One Networks' service is regulated by the Ontario Energy Board, both in the rates we charge and in the level of service we provide.
