TORONTO, May 12, 2017 /CNW/ - Toronto Hydro Corporation has released its 2016 Annual Report showing the organization is continuing to provide reliable and high-quality service while investing in the future of Toronto's electricity system.

The report shows that Toronto Hydro had a highly successful year, exceeding all of its key performance targets, resulting in a $151.4 million net income.

As a result, since 2010, the average number of service interruptions has improved by 21% and the average duration of interruptions is down by 26%.
