Kanata burns serious calories. Its grid needs to power companies that contribute over $13 billion in GDP annually, and the people who work in those companies, and the residents who keep Kanata chugging along and who give it its character. That’s a lot of server rooms, R&D labs, home offices, and homes.

 

Kanata falls under Hydro Ottawa, not Hydro One, and Hydro Ottawa serves somewhere around 372,000 homes and businesses across the city and Casselman. That doesn’t mean Kanata’s immune to outages, though.  In late March 2025, Hydro Ottawa was investigating outages hitting Kanata and neighbouring Nepean overnight, and by April a separate outage knocked out power for over 5,000 customers across Kanata North, West Carleton-March, and Bay ward.

 

Your livelihood or daily life can’t come to a screeching halt next time there’s an outage.  You need reliable backup power, and you don’t want to worry about it or think about it much at all.
