As part of its commitment to green initiatives, Milton Hydro
Distribution Inc. (Milton Hydro) takes a significant sustainability
step forward with the introduction of a Ford F150 Lightning to its
fleet.
The fully electric pick-up truck joins a Hyundai Ionic and two
hybrid bucket trucks and brings many benefits to Milton Hydro's
operations, including lower maintenance, reduced idle time and
emissions, and cost savings on fuel. With its efficient performance
tailored to the service territory, the electric vehicle enhances
operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.

Milton Hydro's integration of green technologies and sustainable
initiatives extends beyond adding electric vehicles to its fleet.
The company is also supporting the adoption of sustainable
transportation among its employees by installing level two and
level three electric chargers in the parking lot.
"Looking ahead to the electrification of everything, we are
thrilled to introduce the Ford F150 Lightning to our fleet,
symbolizing our commitment to sustainability and embracing new
technologies," said Troy Hare, President and CEO of Milton Hydro.
"This marks another important step in our journey towards reducing
our environmental footprint and contributing to a greener
community."
By electrifying its fleet, Milton Hydro is making an effort to
mitigate its carbon footprint, aligning with governmental Net Zero
Emissions benchmarks for 2030 and 2050.
Their proactive commitment to sustainability is also reflected
in their adoption of sustainable energy generation and conservation
practices at their headquarters. Geothermal heating and cooling
systems were implemented in 2016 and solar panels were installed on
the roof in 2017 to reduce environmental impact. Currently, over
31,000 of Milton Hydro's 44,000+ customers have opted for paperless
billing, reducing the monthly paper usage and delivery impact on
the region. These initiatives are part of a broader approach to
sustainability, impacting both operations and community
engagement.
Milton Hydro's mission is to create a superior energy experience
for customers through service innovations and forward-thinking
solutions, ensuring trust in the company's leadership towards a
fully electrified future.
