Powering a VIBRANT CITY

Burlington Enterprises Corporation (BEC) is an energy services company that is wholly owned by the City of Burlington. BEC oversees two affiliate subsidiaries: a regulated “wires” company, Burlington Hydro Inc. (BHI), and an unregulated company, Burlington Electricity Services Inc. (BESI). With a total licensed service area of 188 square kilometers, Burlington Hydro serves approximately 69,500 residential and commercial customers in the City of Burlington, delivering electricity into the community through a network of 1,600 kms of medium voltage distribution lines and 32 substations.

Burlington Hydro operates a distribution system comprised of voltage networks at 27.6kV, 13.8kV and 4.16kV. Performance is monitored on a feeder-by-feeder basis at all voltage levels by our 24-7 control room. This provides us the ability to manage outages, provide work protection for safety, and balance system loading in real time whenever it is needed.
