Toronto Hydro’s first new downtown station in years: A 176-ton tunnel boring machine (TBM) named Lauren arrived at the site of Toronto Hydro’s Copeland Transformer Station in early February, from where it will spend three months tunneling north to connect Canada’s 2nd underground transformer station to the grid. Copeland Station is the first station built downtown by Toronto Hydro since 1955 and will provide much needed additional capacity to serve current and future load requirements in this high-density, high-growth area of Toronto.
