In March 2017, the Alberta Electric System Operator WHAT IS THE (AESO) launched the Renewable Electricity Program (REP) – a competitive procurement program intended to encourage the AESO development of 5,000 MW by 2030. RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY The REP will administer a series of competitions. Round 1 of the program started in 2017 and the Project is interested in this PROGRAM? program.

The first round of the REP competition includes the procurement of up to 400 MW of renewable electricity for projects that will be operational by December 1, 2019.

Predictable Wind generated electricity prices are fixed and stable, unlike pricing natural gas or oil which have volatile and unpredictable pricing.

Page 14 In 2014, Health Canada commissioned a $1.2 million study on the potential impacts of wind turbines on human health. A hardcopy of the key findings brochure is available. Please ask any EDF EN Canada staff for a copy.

In 2014, MPAC (Municipal Property Assessment Corporation) performed a study that looked at all properties close to 1 157 turbines in total, and concluded that “there is no statistically significant impact on sale prices of residential properties in these market areas resulting from proximity to an industrial wind turbine.” (Source: Municipal Property Assessment Corporation)

Page 16 Well sited wind projects should have minimal impacts upon local bird and bat populations.

￭ Working closely with Alberta Environment and Parks, EDF EN Canada Development will undertake significant bird and bat studies to quantify potential risks and develop mitigation tools to ensure sustainable AVIAN development. ￭ Potential impact on birds, bats and raptors will be considered in the IMPACTS Environmental Evaluation. ￭ A multi-year post-construction wildlife monitoring program will be “It is estimated that each undertaken to determine the actual Project effects. year more than 10 000 migratory birds are killed in A report published in Avian Conservation & Ecology stated: Toronto between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. “Overall…the effects of collisions, nest mortality, and lost in collisions with brightly lit habitat on birds associated with Canadian wind farms office towers.” appear to be relatively small compared to other sources of Source: www.flap.org mortality.”

Page 17 ￭ Support of local landowners is paramount to EDF EN Canada’s success. We work diligently to ensure our neighbors have a full understanding of the proposed projects. ￭ Well-designed wind energy projects complement farming activity with minimal disruption. ￭ We work very closely with our landowners to have project infrastructure fit with IN HARMONY current and future land use. WITH AGRICULTURE

Page 18 EDF EN Canada commenced environmental studies in 2016. Studies that will be completed in 2017 include:

▪ Wildlife – birds, bats and other wildlife ENVIRONMENTAL ▪ Wetlands AND TECHNICAL ▪ Noise Impact Assessment ACTIVITIES ▪ Historical Resources UNDERWAY Throughout the development of the Project, we will work closely with Wind power project Alberta Environment and Parks to ensure a robust understanding of the design includes consideration of impacts site. on wildlife and vegetation.

Page 19 ▪ All wind energy projects must meet Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) Rule 012: Noise Control.

▪ The Noise Impact Assessment will be completed for all residences and NOISE IMPACT dwellings within 1.5 kilometres of ASSESSMENT the Project. ▪ The study will include the noise from the Project and other operational and proposed facilities nearby.

▪ The results of the Noise Impact Assessment were used to determine the final turbine layout.

▪ The resulting noise contours are available on the Infrastructure, Shadow Flicker, and Noise Maps for Options A and B.

Page 20 EDF EN Canada values the long-term benefits of working with the local community. If the Project is approved, the local community will benefit from:

▪ Employment opportunities during the construction and operation phases of the Project MUNICIPAL ▪ Contract opportunities for local businesses AND LOCAL ▪ Local investments into hospitality and construction services during COMMUNITY the development, construction and operation phases of the Project BENEFITS ▪ Tax revenues throughout the life of the Project

Page 21 ￭ Direct benefits The Project will result in increased job opportunities for the local area. Some of these job opportunities may include:

Surveying Earthwork activities Civil engineering Maintenance of vehicle fleet LOCAL Mechanical work Maintenance paths Electrical work ECONOMIC Snow removal Road construction Other related services BENEFITS Transportation equipment

￭ Indirect benefits Increased spending on goods and services during the operations and construction phases.

Page 22 ACCESS ROAD & TURBINE PAD

Construction Phase - 5 acres / turbine

A temporary turbine pad area of about 80m diameter will be created at each turbine location, in order to deliver all the required turbine components on each turbine pad.

Operational Phase – approximately 0.25 to 0.5 acres / turbine

After construction, the access road width and the turbine pad will be reduced to limit impacts on agricultural use. Access road and turbine pad during Turbine pad after operation construction Page 23 TURBINE FOUNDATION & COLLECTION SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION

￭ The turbines will be installed on top of a buried, cast-in-place reinforced concrete foundation.

Foundation excavation. Diameter approx. 20 m Reinforcing steel installation. Between 40-50 tons of rebar Each foundation requires approx. 400-600 m3 of concrete.

￭ The electrical system will consist of underground cables or overhead lines and a Project collector substation. Ploughing, trenching, and directional drilling will be used to install underground cables. The cabling will be buried at a depth that will not interfere with normal agricultural practices.

Page 25 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUILDING & PERMANENT METEORLOGICAL TOWERS

￭ An operation and maintenance (O&M) building will be built to allow operators to maintain the turbines and house spare parts. ￭ Wind speed, wind direction, temperature and humidity will be measured by permanent meteorological towers. At least one permanent meteorological tower will remain on site for the duration of the Project.
