DSO Readiness Strategy Report
July 10, 2025
As a founding member of GridSmartCity, Halton Hills Hydro is proud to be part of the development and launch of GridSmartCity’s Distribution System Operator (DSO) Readiness Strategy—a coordinated, scalable roadmap that enables local LDCs to take a central role in the province’s energy transition.
Developed with input from across our member utilities and aligned with system operators and regulators, this strategy reflects what’s possible when industry leaders come together with a shared vision for modernizing the grid. This strategy reflects two years of collaboration, innovation, and alignment with Ontario’s broader decarbonization and electrification goals. With Phase 1 already underway, we’re moving from strategy to execution—delivering customer value through common platforms, integrated coordination, and future-ready capabilities.
