It has been published by "ReNew Canada Top 100 Infrastructure projects in 2009" a list that shows the 10 most expensive projects to be constructed in Canada.I want to point out that at least three of them are public private partnerships (highways 7, 9 and 10). The three first are energy related projects.1) Romaine Hydroelectric Complex Project: A construction project to build four new Hydro Quebec generating stations with a total capacity of about 1,500 megawatts in a region north of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The environmental assessment was referred to a panel, but construction was slated to begin in mid-2009, lasting about 10 years. Capital cost: $6.5 billion.2) Bruce A Nuclear Generating Station Restart: Major maintenance and refurbishing to restart units at nuclear power station on the shores of Lake Huron in Ontario. Capital cost: $5.25 billion.3) Eastmain-1-A/Sarcelle/Rupert Project: New Hydro Quebec project expected to generate 893 megawatts of power, enough electricity for half a million homes. Construction is scheduled to finish by 2012. Capital cost: $5 billion4) Spadina Subway Extension: An expansion of the Toronto subway system, adding six new stations over a 8.6-kilometre span underground. Construction is slated to begin in April 2009, and slated for completion in 2015. Capital cost: $2.63 billion5) Alberta Clipper Project: New 1,600-kilometre pipeline owned by Enbridge that would run from Alberta to Wisconsin. The project is expected to be completed in 2009. Capital cost: $2 billion6) Canada Line: A 20-kilometre North-South rapid transit line in Vancouver, scheduled for completion in 2009. Capital cost: $2 billion7) Port Mann/Highway 1 Project: Construction to widen a 37-kilometre stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway linking Vancouver with the rest of British Columbia, including the replacement of a major bridge crossing over the Fraser River. Capital cost: $1.6 billion8) Keephills 3 Generating Plant: EPCOR and TransAlta will build and operate this coal-fired power plant in Alberta that is expected to be more efficient and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions than existing plants that are expected to close in 2010. Capital cost: $1.6 billion9) Autoroute 30: A long-awaited beltway around Montreal. Two sections of the highway remain to be completed, including one section that will be operated as a public-private partnership. Capital cost: $1.5 billion.10) Edmonton Ring Road, Anthony Henday Drive N.W.: Construction of this route is expected to be completed in the fall of 2011. It includes a 21-kilometre stretch of road with four to six lanes and 29 bridge structures. Capital cost: $1.42 billion
