TransCanada awards major contract for Energy East pipeline

Canadian pipeline infrastructure operator TransCanada on Wednesday awarded a multimillion-dollar contract to power and automation technologies firm ABB to manufacture at least 22 electrical houses that would distribute power for the pump stations along the Energy East pipeline project.
While the order was conditional on TransCanada receiving regulatory approvals for the construction of the project, the agreement to manufacture the ‘e-houses’ was expected to create up to 120 jobs in Quebec and a further 90 spin-off jobs outside of the greater Montreal area.
