Grimsby Power is always working to improve our system to increase service reliability. In 1989, we set a vigorous plan to completely rebuild the entire system over a 25 year period. From 1990 to 2002, Grimsby Power upgraded the power and completely rebuilt the distribution lines below the escarpment. In 2003, Grimsby Power started working above the escarpment. In addition, we partnered with our neightbours to build a new transfomer station on Mountain Street to continue to provide safe and efficient supply to power locally into 2020 and beyond. The following is a list of our planned capital work projects from 2007 to 2014. Once we complete the work in 2014, it will be time to start over again as many of the assets only have a 25 year lifecycle.
