TransCanada Energy East E-Houses Deal to Create Jobs in Quebec

摘要

TransCanada Corp. has struck a deal that could create more than 100 new jobs in Quebec. The pipeline company signed a major agreement with power and automation provider ABB to deliver electrical houses to provide power distribution for the pump stations along the Energy East Pipeline. At least 22 of the multi-million dollar electrical houses are expected to be manufactured at a new production facility in the greater Montreal region. The agreement to manufacture these "e-houses" will create up to 120 jobs in Quebec and a further 90 spin-off jobs outside of the greater Monfreal area. The order is conditional on TransCanada receiving regulatory approvals for the construction of the project.
