In the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized $16 million U.S. dollars of losses on a troubled wind project in Canada, which experienced difficult project conditions.

In June 2015, MasTec invested $6 million, and committed to future equity contributions and / or loan guarantees of up to an additional $78 million, for a 33% equity interest in two joint ventures. The joint ventures will design, build, own and operate a header system and two pipelines that will transport natural gas.  A subsidiary of MasTec will construct the pipelines, with construction expected to commence in late 2015 or early 2016.Each pipeline will interconnect at the United States/Mexico border with pipelines currently under development and construction in Mexico.
