City of Lethbridge Utilities YOU Electricity is delivered to homes, farms and businesses. Public consultation Your involvement is important to us. AltaLink understands that landowners, occupants and residents have information we need to consider when evaluating potential routes. Input from affected stakeholders is very important to the process of selecting the route with the lowest overall impact. We will work with you to ensure your questions and concerns are understood and responded to. After this preliminary stage of consultation we will use your input to refine route options and will consult with you again about these refined options in the winter of 2010. One-on-one consultation To set up a one-one-one consultation please talk to an AltaLink representative or call us toll-free at 1-877-269-5903. Our information centre also provides the opportunity to meet with AltaLink representatives at times convenient for you. The information centre is scheduled to be open from 12 - 8 p.m. and is located at 60-1825 Bomford Crescent SW. The information centre will be open the following dates: Thursday, August 12 Thursday, August 19 Friday, August 13 Friday, August 20 Saturday August 14 Saturday, August 21 Key players AltaLink AltaLink is an independent company that owns and operates approximately 11,800 kilometres of transmission lines and 270 substations. We provide electric service to more than 85 per cent of Albertans and own the majority of the transmission system in central and southern Alberta. The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) The AESO is an independent, not-for-profit entity responsible for the safe, reliable and economic planning and operation of the Alberta Interconnected Electric System. The AESO determines the need for transmission reinforcement and directs Transmission Facility Owners, such as AltaLink, to submit a Facility Application for permitting and licensing to construct and operate transmission facilities. The Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) The AUC is a quasi-judicial agency that ensures the fair and responsible delivery of our utility services. The AUC is the provincial regulator responsible for reviewing Facility Applications. AUC approval is required before construction of facilities can occur.

New transmission lines are required to support this growth and collectively these projects make up the Southern Alberta Transmission Reinforcement Project (SATR). The Medicine Hat 138 kV Project is included in the SATR. The AESO filed the need for SATR in a formal application with the AUC in December 2008. The AUC completed a public hearing in June 2009 in Lethbridge to review the need for these projects. The AUC approved the need for these projects in September 2009.

We provide compensation for easements and Annual Structure Payments (ASP) for the land used by our transmission facilities. Information regarding compensation and the easement acquisition process will be available throughout the consultation process. Environmental evaluation The environmental evaluation involves reviewing available databases, maps and other references along with field surveys. It examines: • Provincial fisheries, wildlife and vegetation inventories • Alberta natural heritage and cultural area inventories • Wetlands and water body data • Environmental literature • Aerial and roadside reconnaissance of potential routes • Public input and regulatory consultation • Rare plant and vegetation surveys • Wetland and watercourse surveys • Wildlife surveys • Soil and geo-technical assessments The environmental evaluation will help define mitigation measures to prevent or reduce potential environmental impacts. Environment How does AltaLink consider the environment in project planning? • Incorporate environmental evaluation results into route selection process • Avoid environmentally sensitive areas • Where avoidance is not possible, develop mitigation plans to minimize disturbance • Parallel existing corridors such as roads, pipelines, power lines and quarter lines where applicable • Ensure routes meet all current environmental regulations Route identification process This diagram shows how we identify potential route options. Route identification criteria The table below lists the general criteria we take into consideration when identifying and refining potential routes. Criteria Examples Agricultural • loss of crops • reduced efficiency of field operations Residential • loss of developable lands and constraints on development • proximity to residences Environmental • alteration of natural areas and interference with outdoor educational opportunities Cost • construction costs and land acquisition costs Electrical • reliability and reparability of the line Visual • visual impact of structures and lines as seen from residences, farms, roads and recreational installations Special • electrical interference considerations with radio transmitting stations and other telecommunication equipment etc. Please let us know if you think there are other important criteria we should consider when refining route options. Project details This project involves transmission line development in the Medicine Hat area. • A new double circuit 138 kV (138,000 volts) transmission line approximately 45 to 55 kilometres in length, from the existing Bullshead Substation (located about three kilometres south-west of Desert Blume) to the proposed Bowmanton Substation (located on the east side of Range Road 43, south of Township Road 144).

First Nations and Métis; and iv. market participants (collectively, Stakeholders). The AESO’s PIP has been conducted in accordance with the requirements of Section 6.2.1, NID19 and Appendix A2 of the current Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 007 (AUC Rule 007), effective July 4, 2017. From November 2016 to November 2017, the AESO conducted a PIP to assist in preparing its Riverview Substation Needs Identification Document (NID). The AESO directed the transmission facility owners (TFOs), in this case AltaLink Management Ltd.

The recent growth in Paul Tan CU's financials is driven largely from its organic utility segment growth owing 416 352 4593 [email protected] primarily to the continued natural resource development in the Province of Andrew M. Kuske Alberta. CU should continue to benefit from the continued growth of this 416 352 4561 natural resource for the foreseeable future. Another positive outcome has [email protected] been the greater proportion of earnings coming from a more stable source. We believe this organic growth will translate into continued earnings and dividend growth. ■ Geographic Diversification: CU wants to duplicate its success in Alberta to other markets in the globe that have similar characteristics as the Canadian province. The company has targeted Australia and Mexico to supplement its Alberta base growth. We believe with CU can benefit from the natural resources growth in Western Australia (iron ore and LNG) and the planned National Infrastructure Program being implemented in Mexico.
