Il a signalé le cas d’un nouveau port à Stewart, au nord<br />

de Prince Rupert, qu’utilise GE pour un projet de production<br />

d’énergie éolienne dans le nord-est de la Colombie-<br />

Britannique.<br />

Le secteur de l’hydroélectricité continue aussi d’être<br />

actif, a déclaré M. Beringer, qui a cité le Site C de production<br />

d’énergie hydroélectrique de BC Hydro où la construction<br />

se poursuit.<br />

Selon M. Beringer, les centrales au gaz sont de plus en<br />

plus populaires en Amérique du Nord. Le matériel transporté<br />

comprend des transformateurs, des stators et des<br />

rotors, des condenseurs refroidis à l’air et de l’équipement<br />

de transport d’électricité.<br />

Pour M. Beringer, la faiblesse du dollar canadien (il se<br />

maintient autour des 74 cents US) qui a dégringolé de pair<br />

avec les prix du pétrole est bénéfique pour les exportations<br />

canadiennes.<br />

«Le matériel utilisé pour l’exploitation pétrolière et<br />

gazière comme les engins de forage (inactifs) sera transporté<br />

à l’extérieur du pays pour des acheteurs outre-mer»,<br />

a déclaré M. Beringer, qui a fait savoir qu’il avait reçu des<br />

demandes pour «l’exportation d’engins de forage vers le<br />

Moyen-Orient, l’Amérique du Sud et même Israël».<br />

«Des grues et du matériel lourd partent aussi de<br />

l’Ouest canadien vers d’autres régions géographiques»,<br />

a-t-il conclu.<br />

He pointed to a new port in Stewart, north<br />

of Prince Rupert, being used by GE for a wind<br />

energy project in Northeastern British Columbia.<br />

The power sector continues to be busy as<br />

well, Mr. Beringer said, singling out BC Hydro’s<br />

Site C Hydro Power Project under construction.<br />

He reported a growing trend throughout<br />

North America of gas-fired power plants. Equipment<br />

being moved included transformers, stators<br />

and rotors, air-cooled condenser equipment, and<br />

transmission equipment.<br />

Mr. Beringer sees the weaker Canadian dollar<br />

(currently hovering around 74 cents U.S.)<br />

which has coincided with depressed oil prices as<br />

beneficial for Canadian exports.<br />

“Oil and gas assets like (inactive) drilling rigs<br />

will be moving out of the country to overseas buyers,”<br />

Mr. Beringer said, alluding to inquiries he<br />

has received “to export drilling rigs to the Middle<br />

East, South America and even Israel.”<br />

“Cranes and heavy equipment are also being<br />

relocated out of western Canada to other geographical<br />

regions,” he concluded.<br />
