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 />
