  • Capital investment: ~$430 million.
  • Target in-service date: 2029.

Material Impact
  • The Durham Kawartha Power Line filing is a routine capital project within Hydro One's known pipeline.
  • The news is positive but expected. The market has already priced in the company's aggressive capital program and the CEO transition.
