TransCanada Touts Energy East Economic Benefits

摘要

TransCanada has initiated a national effort to raise popular support for its proposed C$12 billion Energy East Pipeline that would transport 1.1 million barrels of oil per day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Eastern Canada, with most of the route using repurposed natural gas pipeline (NGW Aug. 12'13). The company retained consultancy Deloitte to conduct an economic study showing the financial, and by implication social, benefits construction and operation of the 2,750-mile pipeline would accrue to each of the provinces it would cross from its source on the Alberta prairie to its terminus at the Atlantic shore outside St. John, New Brunswick.
