Regional power shortfalls threaten mining growth in Northwest Ontario
An analysis by the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association finds existing and proposed transmission lines cannot meet rising demand from mining. Large-scale projects like Waasigan and Wataynikaneyap require expanded circuits, with Dryden, Red Lake, Pickle Lake, Ear Falls, and Thunder Bay areas identified as at risk. NOMA urges twin circuits and coordinated planning with Hydro One IESO and government to avoid costly midstream changes as mines push to start by 2033.
