WELCOME TO THE SUNCOR COMMUNITY MEETING Please fill out a comment card and visit www.suncor.com/fortymilewind for more information. If you have any further questions or concerns, please call 1-866-344-0178 ext. 2 or email [email protected] ABOUT SUNCOR Suncor Energy is Canada’s leading integrated energy company. Our operations include oil sands development and upgrading, conventional and offshore oil and gas production, renewable energy development, petroleum refining, and product marketing under the Petro-Canada brand. Our vision is to be trusted stewards of valuable natural resources. Guided by our values, we will lead the way to deliver economic prosperity, improved social well-being and a healthy environment for today and tomorrow. SUNCOR’S RENEWABLE ENERGY BUSINESS • Wind power is one of the fastest growing sources of electricity generation in the world. Investment in wind power is a key component of Suncor’s climate change action plan. • Suncor and our partners are currently involved in five operational wind power facilities that have a generating capacity of 187 megawatts (MW), enough to power about 65,000 Canadian homes. • Suncor has developed and constructed a total of eight wind power facilities with a total generating capacity of 395 MW Wind Projects Developed by Suncor Date Project Name Location Capacity Turbines Current Owners 2002 SunBridge Saskatchewan 11 MW 17, 660 kW Vestas Suncor & Enbridge 2004 Magrath Alberta 30 MW 20, 1.5 MW GE Suncor, Acciona & Enbridge 2006 Chin Chute Alberta 30 MW 20, 1.5 MW GE Suncor, Acciona & Enbridge 2007 Ripley Ontario 76 MW 38, 2.0 MW Enercon Suncor & Acciona 2010 Kent Breeze 1 Ontario 20 MW 20, 2.5 MW GE TransAlta 2011 Wintering Hills 1 Alberta 88 MW 55, 1.6 MW GE IKEA Canada 2015 Adelaide Ontario 40 MW 18, 2.3 MW Siemens Suncor & Aamjiwnaang First Nation 2015 Cedar Point II 1 Ontario 100 MW 46, 2.3 MW Siemens Cedar Point II LP 1. Suncor sold our interest in these projects over the last few years as part of ongoing activities focused on core businesses and exploring opportunities for strategic divestitures. WORKING WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS Our Beliefs • Involving communities in activities that affect them • Transparency • Early engagement • Mutual benefit • Sharing up-to-date project information Goal • To be a trusted member of the communities where we operate by demonstrating our commitment to building and maintaining positive, meaningful relationships Objectives • Engage early • Understand concerns, interests and values of communities we work with • Develop long-term positive relationships • Be responsive to community concerns Approach • Build our knowledge of communities • Proactively engage with key stakeholders to share project information • Engage with community leaders on a regular basis • Understand development plans, visions and/or needs of community • Collaboratively work together to identify opportunities for shared benefit WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL WIND PROJECT A successful wind power project requires: 1) A strong wind resource 2) Access to transmission lines 3) An engaged and supportive community Suncor believes that this area has the necessary elements for the development of a successful wind project. We are here to learn more about your community and values - and to work together to develop our proposed wind project. Source: AESO 2015 Long-term Transmission Plan BENEFITS OF WIND What are the typical benefits of wind development? • Employment – Temporary jobs during construction and permanent jobs associated with the operations and maintenance of the Project. There is the potential that local contractors would be involved in the construction of the Project. • New Investment – In the form of local services and supplies such as infrastructure improvements, fuel, accommodation, meals and supplies for employees, construction personnel, and contractors who will spend time in the local communities. • Landowners and Community – Wind turbines provide additional revenue to landowners and have a minimal impact on current farming practices. Wind turbines are compatible with other land uses, and can serve as a boost for rural economic development. • Municipal Tax Revenues – Municipal taxes paid by wind companies to rural communities can be important, and the Project does not increase demand on municipal services or public works such as sewer and water upgrades. Payments from a wind project can be directly allocated to increasing local services or stabilizing local tax rates. • Clean Energy – Wind energy provides societal benefits by offsetting harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and sulphur dioxides that are created through conventional, thermal power generation. • Stability and Predictability– Wind energy costs are stable and predictable over the long term because there are no fuel costs. Wind energy helps to diversify and decentralize our power supply. The Proposed Forty Mile Wind Power Project Proposed project details: • Size: 400 megawatts (MW) • Number of turbines: up to 175 • Tower height: up to 110 m • Rotor diameter: up to 145 m • Access and temporary construction roads • 2 project collector substations (Granlea & Maleb) • Underground and overhead electrical collector system from turbines to project collector substation • Connection infrastructure from project collector substations to the Alberta Interconnected Electrical System will be completed by Altalink Management Limited The proposed Forty Mile Wind Power Project will deliver generated electricity to the grid via two proposed substations which will both have separate connections to the existing 240 kilovolts (kV) Alberta Interconnected Electrical System.
