4 Generation In Ontario, 70% of electricity is generated by Ontario Power Generation. This provincially-owned organization has generating stations across the province that produce electricity from hydroelectric, nuclear and fossil fuel sources 4 March 1, 2017

5 Transmission Once electricity is generated, it must be delivered to urban and rural areas in need of power. This happens through high voltage transmission lines that serve as highways for electricity. There are approximately 30,000 km of transmission lines in Ontario and the majority are owned by Hydro One. 5 March 1, 2017

6 Distribution is responsible for the last step of the journey: distributing electricity to customers in Toronto. 6 March 1, 2017
