Pipeline: Purchase Price

pipeline: The report said Ottawa's final purchase price last year of 4.4 billion was at the high-end of what the pipeline will be worth if the expansion goes ahead, according to The Toronto Star. Pipes are seen at the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain facility in Edmonton in 2017. In a report published Thursday, the Parliamentary Budget Office pegged the value of the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline between 3.6 billion and 4.6 billion, not including terminals and other assets attached to the pipeline.

The pipeline would also lose value if construction costs currently forecast at 9.3 billion go up. A two-year holdup would degrade its value by almost 1.3 billion. (news.financializer.com).
