  WHEREAS Ottawa has been seeing more windstorms and power outages which can require repairs to its electrical grid; and

  WHEREAS Hydro Ottawa has completed their asset management plans that identify areas where resiliency or grid capacity projects may be required, and opportunities for implementation through City integrated projects should be considered and coordinated;

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council requests staff consider Hydro Ottawa’s resiliency and system capacity planning objectives in determining whether to include full or partial hydro burial in future integrated projects planned in design priority areas as set out in the Official Plan (OP);
