TransCanada Set to Begin Construction on $680 Million Power Project in Ontario

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--TransCanada Energy Limited (Calgary, Alberta), a subsidiary of TransCanada Corporation, is set to begin construction on the $680 million, 633-megawatt (MW) Halton Hills Generating Station (HHGS) in Halton Hills, Ontario.

Construction for the project is scheduled to begin this month and will be ready for commercial operation in the spring of 2010. The project will consist of a 2-on-1 combined cycle power island that will utilize two 215-(MW) natural-gas-fired Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation SGT6-5000F W501FD combustion turbine generators (CT) that will be attached to two ALSTOM Combustion Engineering heat-recovery steam generators (HRSG). The hot exhaust gases from the two CTs will be channeled through the HRSG to produce steam to power a 203-MW ALSTOM Power Incorporated condensing steam turbine generator. Once completed, the new facility will help meet the growing energy demands for TransCanada customers.

Burns & McDonnell Engineering (Kansas City, Missouri) acted as the owner’s engineer for the project. Aker Kvaerner Songer Canada Limited located in Burlington, Ontario, will act as the general contractor.
