This will be Alberta version 2 where a large well known engineering firm buys the transmission portion for less than a billion - then cuts itself purchase orders for billions and billions in update work - then cashes out leaving the ratepayers on the hook.

Not all bad - with the new HVDC lines AB has one of the best grids in the world now - but they couldn't have possibly spent more to get it.
