According to Janice Skot, CEO of RVH, “After more than a decade of planning, fundraising and construction the region’s dream is a reality. The expansion of RVH will provide Simcoe Muskoka residents with enhanced services and timely access to healthcare closer to home. Our provincial government — the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, along with our colleagues at Infrastructure Ontario — has demonstrated its outstanding commitment to safe, quality healthcare for our region’s residents.”

The expansion cost $370 million and ranked 73 on the 2012 Top 100 list. The project was completed using a Build-Finance model, which was organised and executed by Carillion Construction.

Alberta Utilities Commission has given approval to begin construction of the Blackspring Ridge I Wind Project. All that remains is for the company to finalize some of the financing and engineering details before building commences.

At 300 MW, when complete, this wind project will be the largest in Canada to date and is located in Southern Alberta about 165 km southeast of Calgary. 300 MW is enough energy to supply around 100,000 homes and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 600,000 tonnes per year.

A virtually unique aspect of this project is the deal brokered between Greengate and the California Public Utilities Commission. The Pacific Gas and Electric Company, along with Greengate signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with the utility to supply power from a number of Greengates wind projects throughout Alberta.
