[에너지신문] 22 December 2015 - Canadian energy pipeline operator TransCanada has filed an amendment to its existing application with the National Energy Board (NEB) that adjusts the proposed route, scope and capital cost of the Energy East pipeline project based on extensive landowner, environmental, community and customer input. Changes to the project schedule and scope have contributed to a new projected capital cost of C$15.7bn (US$11.2bn), excluding the transfer of Canadian Mainline natural gas assets. This represents a cost increase of more than 30% over the last cost estimate of C$12bn.
The Energy East Pipeline Project is a 1.1 mb/d crude oil pipeline project, whose development will involve converting approximately 3,000 km of existing natural gas pipe in the Canadian Mainline between the Alberta/Saskatchewan border to Cornwall, Ontario, and the remaining 1,600 km will be new construction mainly in Québec and New Brunswick. Associated facilities will include pumping stations in each province and four new oil storage terminals, one each in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Québec and New Brunswick. If approved, Energy East is anticipated to be in service in 2020.
