Eaton Manager Tornados Cost Ontario Hydro Five Millions Damage to the electrical system caused by the May 31 tornado cost Ontario Hydro an estimated $5 million. And it took Hydro crews three weeks to complete permanent repairs. repairs. Fierce winds knocked down 15 high-voltage towers weighing weighing 10 to 20 tonnes. Transmission Transmission lines were strung on temporary temporary wood poles within a few days, but new towers were not all in place until June 20. The tornado destroyed so many Ontario Hydro and municipal utility poles in the Barrie, Alliston and Orangeville Orangeville areas that a final count was impossible. But by June 5, service had been restored to all but a handful of customers. TORNADO TESTS SYSTEM PROTECTION PLAN Hydro's $35 million computerized computerized Bruce System Protection Protection Plan was called into service service for the first time during the tornado, to prevent widespread widespread power blackouts. The storm toppled four towers on the 500-kilovolt transmission line between the Bruce Nuclear Power Development Development and the Milton Transformer Transformer Station. As a result, more electricity was being produced at the station than could be transmitted, and the computerized protection system automatically disconnected disconnected three Bruce generating units from the electrical grid. At the same time, power was automatically cut to seven transformer stations serving the Hamilton, North York, Oakville, London, Chatham, Chatham, Barrie and Belleville areas. This action kept the electrical system in balance and prevented a massive blackout which could have affected all of southern Ontario Ontario and possibly Michigan and New York State.
