Stantec completes acquisition of Teshmont - Seite 2

Teshmont’s award-winning experience across the globe strengthens Stantec’s ability to provide clients with enhanced power service, and provide communities with safe, reliable, and renewable energy options.

• Manitoba Hydro needed to remove a common point of failure in its transmission network to ensure reliable access to renewable, clean energy. To achieve this, the client undertook the task of designing and constructing the Bipole III High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) project. During construction, Bipole III was one of the largest and most technologically complex energy projects on the continent. Requiring special expertise for this one-of-a-kind project, Manitoba Hydro assigned the role of Owner’s Engineer to Teshmont and Stantec. Teshmont and Stantec were awarded the 2018 Association of Consulting Engineering Companies (ACEC) Manitoba Award of Excellence in the Energy Resource Development category for our work on this project, in addition to being selected for the Keystone Award—the project deemed best overall by the judges of the 25 projects submitted.
• The Western Alberta Transmission Line (WATL) Project is Alberta’s first in-service HVDC transmission system linking the major centres of Edmonton and Calgary. This project improved transmission system reliability, reduced system congestion, and saves over 350,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year from entering the atmosphere—the equivalent of removing 65,000 vehicles from Alberta’s roads. Teshmont was engaged by AltaLink to act as the project’s Owner’s Engineer for the 2000 MW, 500 kV HVDC project. Teshmont was awarded the 2016 ACEC Manitoba Award of Excellence in the Energy Resource Development category for their work on this project.
• The EuroAsia Interconnector will ultimately link the electrical systems of Israel, Cyprus, Crete, and Attica (continental Greece) using over 3000 km of submarine cables with HVDC Voltage Sourced Converter (VSC) converter stations at each connection point. The project will have an initial capacity of 1000 MW, with an ultimate capacity of 2000 MW. Teshmont has been retained to provide specialist HVDC engineering services and will be responsible for Front End Engineering Design (FEED). The EuroAsia Interconnector is a leading European Union Project of Common Interest (PCI). PCIs are key infrastructure projects that link the energy systems of EU countries and are intended to help the EU achieve its energy policy and climate objectives.
• Teshmont has carried out feasibility studies for more than 10 potential wind farm projects in Alberta. Based on the results of the feasibility studies, Teshmont’s clients have initiated the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) Connection Process. Teshmont feasibility studies scope includes determining the maximum generation feasible for selected locations, identifying potential interconnection alternatives for each project, and identifying potential thermal violations under net zero conditions.
