A mobile transformer unit will keep homes and businesses energized during the repairs at Newton Transformer Station.
Crews will replace up to 30 insulators at the station that are more than 70 years old.
Hydro One and Alectra Utilities say the repairs will create a more stable and reliable supply of power.
