Hydro One to Build New Transformer in Barwick

Hydro One is set to spend 25-million dollars on the construction of a new transformer station for the Rainy River district.

The station, to be located in Barwick, will replace an existing and aging one in Fort Frances.

Spokesperson Tiziana Baccega Rosa says they have all of the approvals in place to start the work.

She says the station will improve the electricity capacity for the area between Fort Frances and Rainy River.
