Are you dreading the thought of winter storms and losing power? It seems there may be some good news on the horizon. According to Dave Price, Hydro One\u2019s Zone Superintendent with Forestry Services, things are and will continue to get a lot better thanks to a $20 million investment on line work in this region.<\/p>\n

Why now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s a result of the feedback that we were getting from customers, from the municipalities of Huntsville, Gravenhurst and Bracebridge. The reliability issues have been ongoing. Kimberly-Clark complained about some power quality issues\u2026 so we got together and asked, what are the things we can do to improve that reliability?Hydro One\u2019s Zone Superintendent with Forestry Services Dave Price<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Up until last year about 20 per cent of the lines which feed electricity to this region, which includes the District of Parry Sound and Muskoka as well as transmission into Algonquin Provincial Park, were not being cleared in the preferred eight-year cycle due to a lack of funding. Price said in 2015 Hydro One presented the Ontario Energy Board with a vegetation management plan to clear up the back log in the province, but it was rejected.\"stormtwo\"<\/p>\n

A new direction<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo we changed course and focused more on a provincial reliability program,\u201d said Price. \u201cThis year we decided to use a total priority-based model, so what are the worst performing feeders in the province and how many resources can we mobilize in the province to focus on those feeds?\u201d Price said out of the 20 worst feeder lines identified, 12 are in this region and in the past year alone there were about 400 power outages as a result of downed trees in the region. \u201cWe are focused on the feeds that are most important priority wise and we are going to reduce outages,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n

<\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n

What will $20 million do in this area?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bulk of the $20 million is being spent on bringing in more linemen and equipment to the area in order to catch up on forestry work, putting in fault indicators to reduce the time it takes to restore power, and improving line protection, explained Price. He said in a normal year of line clearing in this area, Hydro One would clear about 350 kilometers of line, but this year it plans on clearing about 1,100 kilometers. \u201cWe\u2019ve already cleared over 700 kilometers and we just brought another 120 workers in.\u201d He said Hydro One will continue investing heavily in this area over the next few years to get to a level which will make maintenance easier.<\/p>\n

Some of the challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNot only does the lack of herbicide use in this area create a challenge but now the beech tree disease is really slowing us down.\u201d Price said 90 per cent of all the beech trees are expected to die in this region, which is creating significant removal challenges for Hydro One.<\/p>\n

\"stormthree\"\u201cWe can\u2019t climb them. We can\u2019t work underneath them, so we put together a special crew just to remove those beech trees themselves. What happens with the beech tree disease is that it rots in the stem. The fungus gets in the tree, the birds go in and eat at it and then it creates a rot in the centre of the tree so we can\u2019t predict which way it\u2019s going to die, whereas many trees die from the top down.\u201d He said the disease is spreading from Parry Sound through to Muskoka and it\u2019s unfortunate. In terms of herbicides, Price said because most municipalities in this area do not want Hydro One using chemicals, they\u2019re having to grind the underbrush along with the roots to slow down regrowth. He said it is definitely more labour intensive and harder to stem new growth. But he was also quick to point out that Hydro One crews understand the importance of trees to the area and don\u2019t take cutting down trees lightly.<\/p>\n

Are Hydro One crews getting a bad rap?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bill Payne, Supervisor of Forestry in Huntsville who has been with the company for 41 years, said people don\u2019t often realize some of challenges Hydro One crews face. He said trying to restore power in this heavily forested area particularly during storms caused by the lake effect off Georgian Bay, which often leaves felled trees in its wake, is not easy. He said some areas are accessible only by water, while others require helicopters to help identify where the damage is on a particular line as getting to it can often prove challenging particularly in heavily forested areas where there are no trails or roads leading to it. He said while he understands people are frustrated with the cost of electricity, they are misplacing their frustration by taking it out on Hydro One crews, who already work under often very challenging conditions.\u201cPeople don\u2019t realize that. It\u2019s too easy to (say) oh darn those hydro guys, well, you don\u2019t realize what we\u2019re actually doing and the conditions we\u2019re working in,\u201d noted Payne.<\/p>\n

Bill Payne (left), Supervisor of Forestry in Huntsville, and Dave Price, Hydro One\u2019s Zone Superintendent with Forestry Services, are confident we’re going to start seeing fewer power outages starting this year.<\/p><\/div>\n

He also talked about the toll some of the outages take on Hydro One crews who take pride in restoring power and who also feel a sense of urgency when power goes out. \u201cI haven\u2019t been home for the last three Christmases, I missed Easter again this year,\u201d Payne said. He spoke about last Christmas Eve in Colborne. He was part of a restoration effort in that community when a lady come out of her house and told him that it would be her father\u2019s last Christmas because he was dying of cancer. \u201cShe came out and talked to me about it so I went back and talked to the line foreman that I was working with\u2026 we just kept going. We did that work late into the evening and got it all back up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re doing the best they can with what they\u2019ve got and they want to be supportive,\u201d added Price of the linemen and forestry crews.<\/p>\n

Payne also noted the danger of live wires and urged people to call any downed lines in and stay clear of them.<\/p>\n
