In 2015, the province of Ontario began the privatization of Hydro One through a series of initial public offerings. Even though the province is a minority shareholder, it holds an outsize influence on the future of the company. The political atmosphere has stabilized for Hydro One, reducing the risk of politicians' future interference.
Hydro One's regulated transmission and distribution assets provide cash flow clarity.
Hydro One faces significant political risk with the province of Ontario's 47% ownership stake.
