TransCanada Corporation and ABB have signed a major agreement that will see ABB deliver a number of multi-million dollar electrical houses to secure safe, reliable and energy efficient power distribution for the pump stations along the Energy East Pipeline.

At least 22 electrical houses are expected to be manufactured at a new production facility in the greater Montreal region. The agreement to manufacture the 'e-houses' will create up to 120 jobs in Québec and a further 90 spin-off jobs outside of the greater Montreal area. The order is conditional on TransCanada receiving regulatory approvals for the construction of the project.
