Our Environment

We are committed to providing electrical service to its customers in an environmentally responsible manner. In fulfilling this commitment, the Company will incorporate environmental issues into decision-making to meet present needs without compromising future generations. We work across diverse terrain, including in environmentally sensitive areas such as National and Provincial Parks and species at risk habitats and we aim to protect natural spaces and wildlife along our power lines when completing any activities. To identify, mitigate and monitor environmental performance, we've established an Environmental Management System that is consistent with the principles of the International Organization for Standardization 14001.
