Romaine Complex A Renewable Energy Project 1 $6.5 billion Key Players: Thirau ltée, a subsidiary of CVTech Group Inc. (builder); AECOM (detailed engineering on Romaine 1, preliminary engineering on Romaine 4)

Funding: Public

Status: Construction began in mid-2009 and is scheduled for completion in 2020. The first Romaine commissioning is planned for 2014, but the proposed transmission lines run through the ancestral lands of the Uashaunnuat and Innu (Innu Uashat Mak Mani-Utenam), and in May 2010 they filed for an interlocutory injunction against the project. In response, the federal government is rumoured to have stepped in and delayed the transmission element of the project. A spokesperson for the Environmental Assessment Office couldn’t confirm but said the office is still having discussions with Hydro-Québec.

Location: Havre-Saint-Pierre, Quebec

Owner: Hydro-Québec

Hydro-Québec is building a 1,550-megawatt (MW) hydroelectric complex on the shores of the Rivière Romaine, north of the municipality of Havre-Saint-Pierre on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. Electricity from the four hydropower stations will flow along transmission lines, also funded by Hydro-Québec, to the des Montagnais and Arnaud substations.

The dam at Muskrat Falls will be built in Phase 1 of this megaproject.

Key players: Key players have not been confirmed, but an RFP has been issued for engineering and project management to Black & Veatch, Hatch, and SNC-Lavalin.

Funding: Public/Private

Status: A Nalcor/Emera partnership, announced in November 2010, will result in the development of Muskrat Falls, with transmission from Labrador across the Strait of Belle Isle for use on the island of Newfoundland. Milestones that remain before the project is sanctioned for construction include EAs for both the generation and transmission projects, finalization of financing, and completion of pre-front end engineering work.

The existing 5,428 MW Churchill Falls Generating Station, which began producing power in 1971, harnesses about 65 per cent of the Churchill River’s potential generating capacity. The remaining 35 per cent is located at two sites on the lower Churchill River. The lower Churchill River system is comprised of two sites: Muskrat Falls with 824 MW of power and Gull

Island with 2250 MW. The current project cost accounts for Phase 1 of the project, the development of Muskrat Falls and associated transmission, including transmission links from Muskrat Falls to Churchill Falls, Labrador to the island of Newfoundland and Newfoundland to Nova Scotia. Phase 2 of the project will be the development of Gull Island, for which construction is expected to start several years after Muskrat Falls. Nalcor will transmit surplus power from the island to Nova Scotia Power, a subsidiary of Emera, across the Cabot Strait into Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

“The goal is to have a 100 per cent renewable electricity sector in Newfoundland—and we plan on getting there with hydroelectric power.” —Newfoundland and Labrador’s Natural Resources Minister Kathy Dunderdale

Eastmain-1-A/ Sarcelle/Rupert Project $5 billion

Funding: Public

Status: Under construction with expected completion in 2012.

2010 Rank: 2

Location: James Bay Territory, Quebec Owner: Hydro-Québec

Until Romaine catches up, this is still the largest construction site in Quebec, and it plays a critical role in Hydro-Québec’s plans to increase annual hydroelectric output by 15.8 terawatt hours (TWh) between 2006 and 2014. Components of the superstructure will be prefabricated at the job site and transported to the powerhouse site for assembly. Also part of construction is a new drinking water plant in Waskaganish, which will meet the community’s needs until 2025. Transmission is also being developed: 315-kilovolt (kV) lines will be built between Eastmain-1 and Eastmain-1-A, and between Sarcelle and Eastmain-1.

The City of Toronto is scheduled to receive 35 light rail vehicles (LRVs) out of the 182 LRVs ordered from Bombardier for $770 million.

Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project $4.6 billion

This project is part of the largest public transit investment in Canadian history, committed under Metrolinx’s Big 5 priority transit projects. Phase 1 of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT line will be 20 km of light rail service across the Eglinton Avenue corridor in mid-town Toronto, with a 12 km segment to be tunnelled from around Black Creek Drive in the west to Brentcliffe Road in the east. Newly elected Toronto mayor, Rob Ford, ran on a campaign pledge to remove streetcars, but his campaign manager recently suggested his office wouldn’t adopt any plans that would cost the city more money—that would include cancelling the order with Bombardier for new streetcars.

Turcot Interchange5 $3 billion

Key Players: Ministère des Transports du Québec (principal contractor); AECOM (project manager); SNC-Lavalin, CIMA+ (feasibility study)

Funding: Public

Status: Construction is set to begin in fall 2010, with completion in 2018.

In November 2010, Quebec Transport Minister Sam Hamad released the final plans for reconstruction of the crumbling expressway. This new plan is in response to concerns expressed by the Bureau d’audiences publiques sur l’environnement, the City of Montreal, and the public. It also comes with a much bigger price tag—$3 billion, compared with the $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion announced in

2007. Opponents complained the 2007 plan would increase capacity to 320,000 cars daily, encourage urban sprawl and do nothing to cut car use. While the new plan still keeps the expressway at its current capacity, it includes reserved lanes for buses (and possibly cars with multiple occupants). It will be designed to accommodate future transit—the minister mentioned a potential airport shuttle or even streetcars. A park with foot and bike paths will be created along the Saint-Jacques Escarpment just north of Highway 20; a foot/bike path will also connect that new park and the Lachine Canal; it will include a bridge over Highway 20. These changes weren’t enough to impress Projet Montreal leader Richard Bergeron, who told reporters this November that Montreal’s Mayor Gérald Tremblay asked him to leave the City’s executive committee because he refused to support the plan. At a news conference in Montreal, Bergeron said he couldn’t support a plan that didn’t promote public transit.

BC Hydro’s plan to build a new 500 kV transmission line mostly along an existing right-of-way between the Nicola Substation near Merritt and the Meridian has been met with opposition.

Supreme Court challenging the EA for the project. The applications will be heard together by the court later this year. Donna McGeachie with BC Hydro says the company “takes its obligation to consult with First Nations very seriously.” According to BC Hydro, the new lines will mean a more efficient transfer of electricity, saving enough energy to supply about 80,000 homes per year.

Funding: Public

Status: Design has been completed; a contractor is being selected in late 2010, with expected completion in 2014.

Metro Vancouver delivers water to 21 Lower Mainland municipalities, which in turn deliver water to more than two million people. The water is collected from three mountainous watersheds—Capilano, Seymour and Coquitlam—by an extensive system of 22 reservoirs, 15 pumping stations and over 500 km of supply mains. The new Port Mann Main Water Supply Tunnel under the Fraser River will convey drinking water from the Coquitlam watershed to municipalities south of the Fraser River. The new crossing will replace the existing crossing which rests on the river bottom and is vulnerable to river scour and seismic-induced damage. The new crossing has been sized to accommodate future growth in the region and has been designed to remain functional following a seismic event with an annual probability of occurrence of one in 10,000 years.
