2014 Highlights & Achievements<br />

Economic responsibility<br />

29%<br />

<strong>of</strong> alberta’s<br />

new power<br />

generation<br />

We are investing in the power generation<br />

our communities need to make the<br />

transition to a cleaner future, and<br />

power economic growth.<br />

We invested $2.9 billion to<br />

develop 1,300 megawatts (MW)<br />

<strong>of</strong> new Alberta power generation<br />

since 2004.<br />

We partnered with Enmax<br />

to build an additional 800 MW<br />

<strong>of</strong> state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art natural gasfired<br />

generation to replace coal<br />

units that will retire by 2019.<br />

We made substantial progress<br />

building Ontario’s largest wind<br />

farm, the 270 MW K2 Wind in<br />

partnership with Pattern and<br />

Samsung. When operational in<br />

spring 2015, Canada will surpass<br />

10,000 MW <strong>of</strong> installed wind<br />

energy capacity, enough to power<br />

over 3 million homes annually.<br />

We are Alberta’s leading<br />

developer <strong>of</strong> new power<br />

generation, responsible for<br />

29% <strong>of</strong> capacity added since<br />

2004, and have an additional<br />

545 MW <strong>of</strong> owned capacity<br />

under construction or advanced<br />

development in Alberta and<br />

North Carolina.<br />

95%<br />

availability<br />

Our operations achieved 95%<br />

availability in 2014 – a level <strong>of</strong><br />

dependability that is essential to<br />

the customers we serve.<br />

Our leaders and employees<br />

are committed to operational<br />

excellence and high maintenance<br />

standards to achieve superior<br />

plant availability.<br />

High plant availability provides<br />

ongoing, dependable power<br />

generation for the reliability <strong>of</strong> the<br />

whole electricity system, one that<br />

homes and businesses rely on to<br />

keep the lights on every day.<br />

7.9%<br />

dividend<br />

increase<br />

We’re delivering stable and<br />

growing returns to shareholders,<br />

even in a time <strong>of</strong> low power prices.<br />

We increased our dividend<br />

7.9% in 2014.<br />

We reduced corporate<br />

expenditures by 31%, or $37<br />

million, as Alberta entered a<br />

downturn in power prices.<br />

50<br />

best<br />

corporate<br />

citizens<br />

We were named one <strong>of</strong> Canada’s<br />

50 Best Corporate Citizens for<br />

the fourth year running.<br />

Being named one <strong>of</strong> Canada’s<br />

50 Best Corporate Citizens by<br />

Corporate Knights is a tribute to<br />

the work <strong>of</strong> our employees – and<br />

a signal to prospective employees,<br />

investors and the communities<br />

where we do business, that we live<br />

our values every day, and conduct<br />

our business responsibly.<br />
