Toronto Hydro's 2025 wrapped: powering upgrades longer than the DVP

Looking back on a year of major infrastructure upgrades as we power forward into 2026

TORONTO, Jan. 8, 2026 /CNW/ - As we flip the switch into 2026, Toronto Hydro is proud to share the progress we've made in strengthening and modernizing the city's electricity grid. We know your feed is full of 'wrapped' recaps -- here's ours, and it's electric! Let's look back at the big moves we made in 2025 to keep Toronto connected, reliable and ready for the future.

Throughout 2025, we focused on upgrading critical infrastructure, supporting new customer connections, and making the grid more resilient to changing technologies and increasing demand.

Our 2025 highlights^*

• 4,800+ customer connections and upgrades -- helping residents and businesses connect to our grid quickly and efficiently
• $395 million invested in 475 projects -- all about keeping the grid strong and modern
• 2,500+ poles and approximately 2,800 transformers replaced -- because strong infrastructure matters
• 40+ circuit km of overhead wires replaced -- that's nearly three times the length of the Don Valley Parkway!
• 100+ circuit km of underground cables replaced -- that's longer than the entire TTC subway system!

*Preliminary figures based on partial year results

These upgrades aren't just numbers -- they're part of our commitment to a reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity system for Toronto. And we're just getting started. In 2026, we'll continue investing in our grid and local communities to prepare us for a bright, sustainable energy future for Torontonians.
