Western Canada to See More than $20 Billion in Project Kickoffs in Third-Quarter 2015, with Renewables in Lead

SUGAR LAND--June 12, 2015--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The Western Canadian region leads the nation with more than $20 billion in projects slated to kick off from July through September, with a surprisingly strong showing for renewable energy projects in an area that traditionally has been dominated by the mining and oil-drilling industries. In fact, most of the spending comes from two closely watched projects: a hydroelectric project in British Columbia and an iron ore mine in Nunavut. Almost 95% of the total can be attributed to just four industries: Power, Metals & Minerals, Oil & Gas Production, and Oil & Gas Pipelines.
