People and businesses have growing demands for electric energy. Electricity customers show increased interest in greater energy efficiency but despite efficiency gains, people continue to add appliances to their homes, homes continue to be built and expanded, businesses continue to grow, and schools and other public buildings continue to find new ways to use energy.

To meet the demands of our customers for reliable electric supply, O&R makes significant investments in upgrading infrastructure, including transmission lines and facilities, and building new substations.
