A feature is a representation of a real world object, such as a lake, stream, dam or rapid. There are three hydrographic feature classes: points, lines and polys. All may impede or be hazardous to waterflow and/or navigation on a watercourse or waterbody. This data shows natural and manmade line features. Examples include: * break walls * dams * waterfalls * lock-gates * rapids * rocks * Sea Lamprey barriers * shipwrecks This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Transmission line construction contractors are at the crux of an evolving energy landscape, driven by an uptick in renewable energy projects and increased manufacturing construction. Contractors have been navigating a period of considerable transformation, shaped largely by the surge in utility-scale renewable installations and government-backed infrastructure investments geared towards a more sustainable energy future. This influx of projects has opened up numerous opportunities for contractors, especially those involved in designing and constructing the extensive networks needed for new remote installations. Significant governmental financial commitments, such as the Canada Infrastructure Bank's recent emphasis on clean power projects, have further bolstered the sector, enabling contractors to tap into large-scale energy projects while modernizing their operational capabilities to meet growing demand. Industry revenue has been increasing at a CAGR of 2.5% over the past five years to total an estimated $6.8 billion in 2025, including an estimated increase of 1.6% in 2025. While telecom sector investments have seen adjustments because of regulatory changes, transmission line contractors have largely thrived by aligning with expanding sectors, such as renewables and manufacturing. However, contractors have also had to contend with challenges like heightened labour costs and supply chain disruptions, which have squeezed profit despite the notable uptick in project opportunities. Still, profit has expanded from lows in 2020. The next five years promise a mix of opportunities and challenges for transmission line construction contractors. There's a clear pathway for growth stemming from large investments, with projects like the massive Waasigan Transmission Line and others in Ontario. Provinces like Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec are spearheading renewable energy initiatives and opening significant contractor opportunities. Projects demand wind, solar and remote infrastructure expertise, urging contractors to invest in renewables and logistics capabilities. As Canadian energy policies like the Clean Electricity Regulations evolve, a pivotal shift will be towards renewable-focused projects, requiring contractors to reorient their strategies and expand their technical prowess. Yet, contractors must also brace for potential disruptions, such as labour shortages and global material price fluctuations, possibly exacerbated by geopolitical tensions. Industry revenue is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 2.3% to total an estimated $7.6 billion through the end of 2030.

Get mapping data related to the Northwest Greater Toronto Area Transmission Corridor Identification Study. In June 2019, the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines along with Ontario’s electricity system planner, the Independent Electricity System Operator, launched the Northwest GTA Transmission Corridor Identification Study to identify an appropriate corridor of land for use by future power lines if and when the need arises.

The Ministry of Energy, Ontario (MoE) is planning to undertake the construction of a transmission line in Ontario, Canada.The project involves the laying of 230kV, 400km electricity transmission line from Wawa to Thunder Bay also connects to the Marathon transformer station in a western part of northern Ontario. Th project will be executed in two section transmission lines one from Wawa TS to Marathon TS and other from Marathon TS to Lakehead TS.The project also includes the construction of substations, transmission stations and related facilities, the installation of electric feeder systems, and the laying of electric lines.In August 2013, NextBridge Infrastructure (formerly known as Upper Canada Transmission Inc.) in partnership with NextEra Energy Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources LLC, Enbridge Inc., and Borealis Infrastructure Management was chosen by Ontario Energy Board as the transmitter to complete development work. NextBridge scope of work includes development, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the project.On August 28, 2014, the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MoEC) approved the terms of reference (ToR).On December 19, 2014, Nextbridge submitted the revised development schedule to Ontario Energy Board (OEB) for approval, later, OEB approved the project.The Draft Environmental Assessment (EA) Report is submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change and reviewed in February 2017.On July 31, 2017, NextBridge Infrastructure submitted an application to the OEB for planning approvals.NextBridge is awaiting for necessary approvals.
