NATURAL GAS
Great Plains
Power Station
$760 MILLION
The Great Plains Power Station is the latest natural gas power plant being constructed in Saskatchewan, following the successful completion of the Chinook Power Station in 2019. The Great Plains Power Station is being
constructed as a 350-Mega.watt combined cycle plant, very similar to specifications of the Chinook project. As of
the fall of 2023, the project is now more than 90 per cent complete. Project work hours have exceeded 2 million,
with ube oil and closed cooling water flushes in progress and the water treatment plant is operating.

PORT
Ridley Island Export
Logistics Project
$750 MILLION
The project will consist of a 108-acre greenfield development on Ridley Island that will commence operation
in Q3 2026. Ray-Mont Logistics will develop and operate facilities that provide transloading service capacity for
400,000 TEUs (20-foot equivalent units) for agricultural, forestry, and plastic resin products. Ray-Mont currently
operates a successful multi-product transload facility on a temporary Ridley Island location that has proven the
export transload concept in Prince Rupert. The project will also include an expansion of the existing Ridley Island
Road Rail Utility Corridor that will facilitate unit trains 10,000 feet in length.

BRT
SRB Pie-IX BRT
Integrated Project
$744 MILLION
The Pie-IX BRT is a leading, high-performance public transit project, integrating
the rehabilitation of municipal infrastructures and the reconstruction of Pie-IX Boulevard. It is also a public transit infrastructure spread across 13 km, between Saint-Martin Boulevard in Laval and Notre-Dame East street, including 44 BRT bus shelters and
bus priority lights in real time. The Pie-IX BRT service launched in November 2022, from
Saint-Martin Boulevard in Laval to Pierre-De Coubertin Avenue in Montréal. The BRT
shelters at Jean-Talon and Bélanger will be commissioned in late 2023, due to the ongoing construction work on the pedestrian tunnel from the Pie-IX BRT to the future Blue
Line extension métro station. The Pierre-De Coubertin BRT shelters and the reserved
lanes on the Pie-IX Bridge will also be ready in 2023, once the work at Pie-IX station
has been completed. Also work has begun on the extension that has been announced
between Pierre-De Coubertin Avenue and Notre-Dame Street East.
