\nSchneider\u2019s proven energy technology will support reliability, safety, and high-performance across Toronto's newest rapid transit line.<\/i><\/p><\/a><\/a>

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Schneider Electric Canada, a global technology leader in energy management and industrial automation, has been chosen by Ontario Transit Group (OTG) to provide advanced electrical and automation solutions for the Ontario Line South \u2013 a critical component of Toronto's largest transit expansion in over half a century.<\/p>

\nThe Ontario Line is a new 15.6-kilometre rapid transit line that will run from Exhibition Place, through downtown Toronto, to the Eglinton Crosstown LRT at Don Mills Road. The southern section, being delivered by OTG on behalf of Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario, encompasses 6.7 kilometres of tunnels and seven stations \u2013 including Exhibition Station, a key connection between GO Transit and TTC networks \u2013 through Toronto\u2019s downtown core.<\/p>

\nSchneider Electric is supporting the project with technology that will enhance reliability, safety, and performance across critical electrical and energy systems. The company is providing core solutions including switchgear and energy management systems \u2013 proven technologies already widely deployed in major transit and infrastructure projects around the world. Schneider Electric's expertise in integration and interoperability will help ensure these systems work seamlessly together, supporting the complex demands of a high-performance urban transit network.<\/p>

\n\u201cSchneider Electric Canada is proud to bring our proven energy and automation technology to the Ontario Line South, a project that will transform how hundreds of thousands of Torontonians move through their city every day,\u201d said Emily Heitman, President of Schneider Electric Canada. \u201cReliable, safe, and efficient transit infrastructure starts with the technology systems that power it. Together with Ontario Transit Group and Metrolinx, we are helping deliver a transit system that the people of Toronto can count on for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>

\nPowering Reliable Transit for Toronto's Communities<\/b><\/p>

\nWhen complete, the Ontario Line overall is expected to accommodate nearly 388,000 daily boardings and bring more than 227,500 people within walking distance of rapid transit. For the communities across Toronto who will depend on this line every day, the reliability of the systems running behind the scenes is essential.<\/p>

\nAmong the most critical of these systems is the Tunnel Ventilation System, which manages airflow throughout the Ontario Line's underground tunnels and stations during both daily operations and emergency scenarios. Powered by Schneider Electric's Altivar\u2122 variable frequency drives, the system provides precise control of high-volume ventilation fans - enabling rapid smoke extraction, safe evacuation conditions, and continuous protection of passengers and first responders.<\/p>

\n\u201cIt is the kind of technology that is invisible when it works, but indispensable when it is needed most,\u201d Heitman continued.<\/p>

\nThe project will also deliver significant sustainability benefits aligned with Ontario's clean energy and sustainable mobility goals, including 28,000 fewer car trips per day, 7.2 million litres of fuel saved annually, and meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. By improving access to rapid transit, the Ontario Line will connect communities to more than 47,000 jobs within 45 minutes and relieve congestion on TTC's Line 1.<\/p>

\nSchneider Electric's selection was driven by its technical compliance, flexible product configurations, and design-assist capabilities which will support OTG in managing integration complexity and minimizing project risk as construction advances toward a planned 2030 completion. The partnership reflects Schneider Electric's deep expertise in delivering trusted electrical and automation solutions for complex infrastructure environments.<\/p>

\nThe Ontario Line South is being delivered under a design-build-finance contract awarded to Ontario Transit Group \u2013 a joint venture between Ferrovial Construction and VINCI Construction Grands Projets \u2013 by Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx, as part of the Province of Ontario's historic investment in transit expansion. Major construction is currently underway across multiple station sites in downtown Toronto.<\/p>

\nWith more than 2,000 employees and a coast-to-coast network of sales, service, manufacturing, and R&D facilities, Schneider Electric brings deep local expertise to complex Canadian infrastructure projects. The establishment of a new office in Milton, Ontario, supports the company\u2019s country-wide operations and facilitates close collaboration with project partners and public agencies. Schneider Electric's role on the Ontario Line South complements its growing national footprint, including its recently opened headquarters and EcoFit\u2122 Center in Milton and its partnership with the Vancouver Canucks and Rogers Arena as the arena's proud Energy Technology Partner.<\/p>
