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.

• The Renewable Electricity Program (REP) is intended to encourage the development of 5,000 MW of renewable electricity generation capacity connected to the Alberta grid between now and 2030. • The first competition will procure up to 400 megawatts of renewable electricity capacity with a target operational date of Dec. 1, 2019. The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) has shared the following timelines for the 2017 REP procurement:

Activity Timing Request for Qualifications (RFQ) due June 2017 Request for Proposals (RFP) due October 2017 Successful proponent(s) selected December 2017 PROPOSED TIMELINE

The timeline for design and construction of wind power projects can vary depending on a number of factors. If the Forty Mile Wind Power Project is successful in winning a contract through the Alberta Electric System Operator’s first competition, a potential timeline could look like the following:

• 2017: preliminary project design and permitting (including submitting a permit application to the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) for review and approval) • 2018: finalizing detailed project engineering and contracting • 2019: construction and commercial operations

The expected project process and timeline will include the following:

2016 – 2017 Late 2017 2018 – 2019 2019 – 2044

If Suncor is not successful in the first round of procurement, we will continue to develop the project for future competitions. POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF WIND

What are the potential impacts of wind development?

I’ve heard that the noise We follow specific requirements that are administered by the provincial caused by turbines can be government with regards to the sound guidelines for the operation of wind farms, annoying for area including conservative modeling and setbacks residents. (Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 012) Do wind farms kill birds As with all structures there are encounters with birds and bats. To mitigate the and bats? frequency/number of encounters, environmental studies are conducted and appropriate setbacks will be applied. We will also complete post construction monitoring to identify the impact of the wind farms on birds and bats. We will work with Alberta Environment and Parks to identify mitigation strategies as required. How would you address The result of numerous health studies is that the balance of independent, peer health and safety concerns reviewed, scientific research shows no direct link between wind turbines and related to this proposed harmful effects to human health as long as we follow provincial regulations and wind project? industry best practices for turbine siting. What is Suncor doing to Shadow flicker occurs when the blades of a turbine pass in front of the sun to minimize the shadow create a recurring shadow on an object. Currently the Province of Alberta does not flicker caused by the set standards for shadow flicker. Shadow flicker is contained to properties close to turbines? turbines. Mitigation measures can be employed by Suncor to reduce impacts caused by shadow flicker on a case by case basis. What kind of setbacks are Suncor applies industry best practice when determining appropriate setbacks from involved in this wind farm? environmental features and infrastructure in project design. POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF WIND

What are the potential impacts of wind development?

Do wind farms cause a Current studies show no direct link between wind turbines and decreased decrease in the value of property values. Suncor will continue to review third party studies related to properties nearby? property values. During construction there will be a large amount of construction material, equipment and personnel brought to and travelling through the project area. Like any large infrastructure project there may be traffic delays due to partial road closures, noise, increased dust and increased amounts of traffic.

What can I expect during Most of the construction will be on private lands however there may be impact to project construction? the public due to the number and size of loads for material like concrete as well as the turbine components. Suncor will work with the County to complete a detailed traffic management plan that reviews delivery routes for heavy and oversize loads and will also assess the condition of the roads and any upgrades required to support the project. What happens to the wind At the end of the 25 year operating life of the project, the owner could consider farm at the end of the life of decommissioning or repowering the facility with new components. the project? If decommissioning is chosen, the owner of the wind power project is responsible for the decommissioning of the Project. Suncor is committed to returning the site to a safe and clean condition after decommissioning of the Project as stated in our lease commitments. REGULATORY PROCESS

What government bodies and agencies need to approve or review wind development in Forty Mile County? Municipal • County of Forty Mile No. 8

Provincial • Alberta Utilities Commission • Alberta Environment and Parks • Alberta Transportation

Federal • Transport Canada • Nav Canada • Environment Canada • Royal Canadian Mounted Police • Department of National Defence WIND 101 – HOW DOES IT WORK?

Turbines consist of four main components: Foundation: concrete and rebar to provide strength

Tower: steel tubular sections up to 110m tall

Nacelle: houses the generator

Hub Rotor: diameter up to 145m

Turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical rotation, then to electrical energy. Wind lifts and turns the blades, the blades turn the rotor, the rotor is connected to the generator and the generator converts rotational energy to electricity.

Turbines are programmed to automatically rotate to face the wind direction, optimizing generation.

Power output from multiple turbines are collected via low voltage cables to a common substation. The transformer at the substation boosts the voltage to match the transmission network.
