Electric Vehicle Charging 

EV adoption is part of our grid transformation strategy as Ontario transitions away from fossil fuels and towards clean electric power. Whether at home, at work, or in public settings, electric vehicle charging requires added resources from the electric power distribution system. For this reason, it’s important to contact Milton Hydro prior to investing in electric vehicle (EV) supply equipment (EVSE) to review opportunities to connect your EVSE.

Customers interested in installing are welcomed to contact Milton Hydro’s engineering department for an early consultation. Please complete the Electric Vehicle Consultation Information Request (EVCIR) form and email it to Engineering@miltonhydro.com. Within 15 days, a representative from Milton Hydro’s Engineering Department will contact you about your EVCS project, opportunities to connect, and provide a report.

Some EVSE installation may require a Connection Impact Assessment (CIA) as a result of their electric requirements and/ or where battery energy storage systems (BESS) are used to supplement power requirements of the EVSE. Customers must indicate on the EVCIR forms if they intend to install BESS systems as part of their electric vehicle supply system. Customers are encouraged to review Milton Hydro’s Distributed Energy Resource connection information to learn more.

Additional information can be found within the Ontario Energy Board’s Electric Vehicle Charging Connection Procedures. Please also review Milton Hydro’s Conditions of Service for specific requirements.
