September 2022 - March 2023
The Grenfell Glen Pole Replacement project is being completed as an essential requirement to revitalize the aging assets necessary to maintain the electricity capacity that provides power to the Knoxdale-Merivale ward. Over the next few years, there will be an increased Hydro Ottawa construction presence in the general area as part of a larger infrastructure renewal project in your area.
What will this project include?
- Installation of approximately 92 new poles on Avonlea Road, Beth Road, Burnbank Street, Crawley Avenue, East Adams Street, Grenfell Crescent and Pratt Avenue
Why are we moving forward with this project?
Hydro Ottawa equipment located in this area is reaching the end of life. As a result, it is essential to replace this equipment to ensure the overall reliability of the electricity distribution system in the area moving forward.

We want to hear from you
On August 9, 2022, Hydro Ottawa will host two virtual information sessions from 12:15 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Impacted residents and/or businesses will have the opportunity to learn more about the project itself, key timelines, but most importantly ask questions and provide feedback.
These information sessions will include a short presentation by the lead project designer, followed by a question period.
