Not only is Clarington one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Durham Region, it has also become a major transportation corridor and an increasingly important energy corridor. While much of the municipality’s growth and infrastructure is concentrated in the Lake Ontario corridor, rising electricity demand in the north-east is now driving new and expanded transmission projects linking Clarington to Peterborough, with proposed routes on and through the Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM). These include the planned expansion of Hydro One’s Clarington Transformer Station and the proposed Durham–Kawartha Power Line.
