Edmonton's Stantec set to refine power grids in BC and US
September 25, 2024
Gord Johnston and Mario Finis spoke to the Edmonton Journal about the firm’s growth and work to support grid modernization and the energy transition
A pair of projects in British Columbia (BC) and California could help to improve the lives of nearly nine million people thanks to work from Edmonton engineering firm Stantec.
In April and August, Stantec was contracted for water and power projects with BC Hydro and the Los Angeles Department for Water and Power (LADWP), to the tune of a combined $290 million with the goal of increasing the reliability of their power grids.
With BC Hydro serving an estimated five million people, and the LADWP serving approximately four million people, the Edmonton-founded and based company could have a serious impact at a time when power grid reliability has become a bigger problem as increased electrification stresses old power grids across the continent.
Stantec’s Gord Johnston and Mario Finis sat down with the Edmonton Journal to discuss the Company’s vision, growth, and commitment to driving the energy transition forward in North America and beyond.
