PUC Distribution announced today that the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has approved its application to build the $34 million Sault Smart Grid Project.
A news release issued today by PUC Distribution Inc. states that this project is the first of its kind in Canada and is expected to impact how other utilities across the country look at smart grid systems.
The project will not only help customers save on their monthly bill but it will also help the utility better prepare for emergencies such as black outs and storms and through its “self-healing” technology reduce the duration and number of outages, said PUC President and CEO Rob Brewer in the release.
