Powering Tomorrow
Powering a sustainable tomorrow.
more resilient and sustainable community through
our investments and innovative solutions.
Ottawa’s energy landscape is evolving, with electricity playing a bigger role in our daily lives. To meet this growing demand, it will take more than just new poles and wires. Our entire energy grid and how we manage it will need to adapt — and so will how we support and engage with our customers.
Through collective actions today, we will build a sustainable energy future. We are exploring new innovations, technologies, and ways of doing business. And we want to empower our community on this journey.
This knowledge hub provides insights on how we plan to make the grid more sustainable, resilient and reliable to meet the energy needs of residents and businesses today and into the future.
