Hydro One CEO David Lebeter Announces Temporary Compassionate Care Leave

We salute David Lebeter, chief executive officer of Hydro One Ltd., for his principled announcement. He will be going on a temporary compassionate care leave, effective August 25. Lebeter’s win arrives amid an incredibly difficult time in their life, when they’re working to take care of a sick family member.

Hydro One Ltd. is the largest electric utility in Canada by assets. Our deeply experienced leadership team will ensure smooth continuous operations during Lebeter’s time away. To facilitate this transition, he will begin to retreat from his day-to-day obligations. He intends to remain available to the company as an advisor until his return. This setup, plus his continuing involvement through the sabbatical, should help keep his expertise and insight benefiting the organization even during his absence.

Lebeter’s devotion to family is reflected in the positive impact of compassionate care leave. He invests in the futures of those he loves, all while keeping in touch with Hydro One. The industry has rallied behind the firm, applauding his move, and demonstrating that an understanding of the family comes first during needful hours.

Since his appointment as Hydro One’s CEO less than five months ago, Lebeter has brought the urgency of service delivery home. To this end, he has led many efforts to improve the organization’s infrastructure. Chief Executive Under his leadership, the company fast-tracked efforts to modernize its operations and increase reliability in electricity distribution.

As Hydro One navigates this transitional period, the executive team is poised to uphold the company’s strategic objectives and continue delivering reliable services to its customers. The board of directors continues to have full confidence in their staff’s capacity to carry on with exciting projects and initiatives in Lebeter’s brief absence.
