WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / October 14, 2021 / CG/LA Infrastructure, the foremost thought leader on global infrastructure investment and strategic project development, has released its 2021 Strategic 100 Top North American Infrastructure projects list. This year's list covers the range of infrastructure sectors - identifying more than $220 billion in projects.
The 2021 list highlights projects that will go forward in the next 3-12 months, and that will drive growth, decarbonize the environment and create jobs and social benefits for millions of people over the next 30 years. Twenty-six projects drive the energy transition with a combined value of more than $27 billion, including electricity transmission, renewables, base-load power and hydrogen. The fifty-six transportation projects, moving people and freight, total $183 billion. Water - the invisible infrastructure - is represented by 11 projects requiring $9.7 billion in investment. Most of the investment in autonomy, 5G, AI and Machine learning is in the transportation sector, but 7 pure connectivity projects on the list require an investment of $2.6 billion.
"After months of debate, we are pleased to highlight projects worthy of immediate investment, both public and private," said Norman Anderson, CG/LA Chairman & CEO. "This year's list is a Fourth Industrial Revolution list, capturing the digitization and electrification trend that is transforming our infrastructure market, and our economy."
