| Balfour Beatty to play a major role in capital programme in Alberta British construction and engineering firm Balfour Beatty announces that it has signed an alliance agreement with ATCO Electric and United Group Limited of Australia, to assist ATCO Electric in completing its capital programme. Within its service area, ATCO Electric will undertake a large portion of the necessary transmission capital work identified in the 2007 – 2017 Alberta Electric System Operator's (AESO) 10-year transmission system plan. In its plan, AESO identifies the potential need for $C5 billion in transmission development to ensure a reliable supply of electricity for Alberta. ATCO Electric's current capital work programme estimates imply an alliance contract value of approximately $C700 million over the next five years. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
