Northern Transformer's Innisfil expansion highlights electrical safety, supply chain resilience

Northern Transformer Corporation (NTC) is investing $207 million to build a new manufacturing facility in Innisfil, Ontario, creating 151 jobs and expanding the province’s capacity to produce high-voltage power transformers. The project, backed by $10.5 million in provincial funding, also brings heightened attention to the safety planning required for large-scale electrical manufacturing.

“This investment not only boosts our production capacity and technical capabilities, but also drives job creation, innovation and supply chain growth in the region,” said Alexei Miecznikowski, president and CEO of NTC.

The facility will produce and test transformers with power ratings up to 500kV and 750MVA,
