Reducing the carbon footprint at Hydro One

The purpose of the research project is to develop options for the reduction of the carbon footprint at

Hydro One Networks Inc. (HONI).The research will focus on helping HONI meet a reduction goal of

half of current emission levels over the next decade. The company has taken preliminary steps to

assess and plan for reduction of the company’s carbon footprint, including the collection of

preliminary data and the outlining of programs to reduce their impact on the environment. The research

project will further contribute to those efforts by focusing on providing three outputs: 1) process maps

whereby HONI may systematically identify its current carbon footprint, 2) scenario analyses to help

HONI project its future carbon emissions over varied timelines, and 3) a set of recommended actions

to reduce carbon emissions over the next decade. Completing the research will address an identifiedneed at HONI and will provide a tangible demonstration of the company’s commitment to reducing its

impact on…TOBECONTINUED
