The Future of Toronto Hydro’s Distribution Grid: Challenges and Opportunities

SPEAKERS:

Joe Bilé, Manager of Conservation Demand Management (CDM) Program Delivery and Business Development, Toronto Hydro; and
Hani Taki, Manager of Standards & Policy Planning, Toronto Hydro

Toronto Hydro has been delivering electricity to the City of Toronto for more than 100 years. Over the decades, nothing has changed about the electrons that flow through Toronto Hydro’s distribution grid. But the City of Toronto, and the needs and expectations of customers and stakeholders, have been constantly evolving.

This presentation will discuss current distribution challenges Toronto Hydro is facing, like climate change and electrification of transportation, and opportunities to make the grid more resilient, reliable and efficient.

The Programme will also include the presentation of the President's Award of Recognition.
