This is our fleet

Our power generation fleet of 16 facilities is well-maintained and modern with an average age of 12 years. Our young fleet helps deliver high plant availability and reduces the risk of unplanned outages.

We continue to focus on our geographic footprint and target markets in North America, and we're building on our history of bringing leading technology to Alberta.

We undertook some significant activities in 2012, including:

Adding 292 megawatts to our fleet, with the successful commissioning of the Quality Wind and Halkirk Wind projects, on time and under budget.

Acquiring a 50% ownership in the 800-MW Shepard Energy Centre. This modern and highly efficient natural-gas-fueled facility, co-owned with Enmax, is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2015. It will be the most efficient combined-cycle facility in Canada.

Announcing plans to develop Capital Power Energy Centre, a state-of-the-art natural-gas-fueled facility with up to 900 MW of capacity. We expect this facility to be built within the 2017 to 2020 timeframe, when additional generation will be needed to meet growing demand in Alberta and replace the older coal-fired units of other power producers. This facility will provide the best peaking responsiveness, the best coal reliability, the lowest environmental impact and cost, and be the most competitive natural gas combined cycle facility in Alberta.

Starting construction of the Port Dover & Nanticoke wind project in Southern Ontario. This 105-MW project is expected to reach commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Completing the sale of our two remaining small hydro assets in B.C. as the last step in sharpening our operational focus.
