VANCOUVER, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Canadian utility BC Hydro said
on Wednesday it has chosen a consortium including Petrowest Corp
PRW.TO , Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc and Samsung (KS:005930) C&T
Canada as the preferred bidder for the main civil works contract
on its Site C dam project.
The 8-year contract for building an earthfill dam, two
tunnels and a foundation for the generating station at the
proposed hydroelectric dam in British Columbia is expected to be
worth more than C$1.5 billion ($1.13 billion), BC Hydro said.
It is expected to be awarded by early 2016.
British Columbia said last December it will go ahead with
building Site C at a cost of C$8.8 billion. The project has been
controversial because of its cost, as well as because it will
flood farmland, wildlife habitat and local heritage sites.

The Western Canadian province argues that it is needed to
provide clean and reliable electricity for a growing population.
Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc is the Canadian unit of
Spanish company Acciona S.A ANA.MC , while Samsung C&T Canada
is the local arm of South Korea's Samsung C&T Corp 028260.KS .
