Case Study: Hydro One streamlines consultation reporting and stakeholder engagement with Borealis

How implementing Borealis software has helped Hydro One efficiently prepare environmental assessments, manage consultations with Indigenous communities, and facilitate reporting

Hydro One, Ontario's largest electricity transmission and distribution provider, faced significant challenges managing the complex data and reporting required for its Environmental Assessments and consultation with Indigenous communities. Their existing methods, reliant on disparate spreadsheets, led to inefficient reporting, difficulty tracking commitments, and inconsistent collaboration across regional teams. To address this, they turned to Borealis Stakeholder Engagement software to centralize their data and streamline processes.

By implementing Borealis, Hydro One established a single source of truth for all project and stakeholder information. The solution enabled them to meticulously document consultations, track commitments to ensure accountability, and improve collaboration between teams. This resulted in greater efficiency, time and cost savings, and the ability to build stronger, more trusting relationships with Indigenous communities. Borealis provided the tools necessary for Hydro One to meet its regulatory obligations effectively and work more proactively.
