​​​​​​Capacity Maps

As per the Ontario Energy Board’s letter of direction, Festival Hydro Inc. (FHI) is making available distribution system capacity maps for their entire service territory.

These Load Capacity Maps illustrate the estimated available capacity on the FHI electric distribution system.  The sole purpose of the maps is to provide general information to customers to allow them to identify areas where interconnections could be added which may require fewer significant modifications to the FHI system. The information in the maps is provided on an as-is and as-available basis and is not guaranteed to be accurate, complete or current.  You shall not rely upon the capacity maps for the exact location of FHI infrastructure and you remain obligated to call One Call to obtain locates prior to performing any ground disturbance.  FHI expressly disclaims any warranty, representation or guarantee in connection with the capacity maps and the information therein.  Use of the capacity maps is solely at your risk and discretion.

Details of a potential interconnection will be required prior to FHI being able to determine what, if any, modifications to the electric distribution system are required to accommodate the interconnection you are contemplating. The feasibility, cost and timelines to interconnect to the FHI system are affected by many factors, and can only be determined following detailed studies. Issues extraneous to FHI may also impact the suitability of a proposed interconnection point, including, but not limited to, permitting.

Information on the process to connect load projects to the FHI system can be found within FHI’s Conditions of Service document.
