Including a pipeline to Edmonton, the plant was to cost $56 million, with construction beginning in 1965 and completion in 1968.

The pipeline operator acquired three utilities from U.S.-based Dominion Energy for $14 billion last year, expanding its gas distribution business. Pipeline operator Enbridge forecasts higher 2025 ...
