Hydro Ottawa Kakulu System Expansion Project
July 3, 2026
Hydro Ottawa will be performing essential infrastructure renewal in the Katimavik area this Summer.
The Kakulu system expansion project is a multi-month initiative being completed as an essential requirement to replace aging equipment and upgrade the electricity distribution system. This work is localized specifically within the Katimavik-Hazeldean area and is a much-needed requirement to help meet growing electricity demand while improving overall system reliability.
As part of the Kakulu system expansion project, the following work will be completed:
Work is scheduled to commence in July 2026 and has an estimated completion date of December 2026. As this project advances, customers will be further notified should a planned power outage that impacts their residence or business be required to complete work safely.
Over the coming days, customers who will be impacted by this project will also receive these details. For more information and ongoing updates about this initiative, customers can visit the project webpage at hydroottawa.com/en/kakulu-system-expansion-project
Residents will notice an increased construction presence throughout the duration of the project. To ensure the safety of residents and our crews, traffic control measures, including temporary lane reductions and sidewalk closures, will be implemented in the immediate vicinity of the work site. Pedestrian detours will be clearly marked for the duration of the project. Construction activities will take place on the City of Ottawa Road Right-of-Way – a legal right of access for Hydro Ottawa for the purpose of installing and maintaining its electrical distribution system.
