H2 PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION PACKAGE

H2 Project Specific Information

September 21, 2016

Dear Stakeholder,

Re: Proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Project

We are writing to provide you with information on the proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Project (“H2” or “the Project”).

Capital Power is preparing to apply to the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) for approval to construct and operate the proposed wind power facility. Part of this process includes a Participant Involvement Program (PIP), which includes in-person consultation, public advertisements, project‐specific mailings (such as this) and open house discussions.

This document outlines the H2 Project description and preliminary area layout, proposed technology, environmental and regulatory considerations, development planning and schedule. The AUC process for public involvement is also included in this package.

Project description The Halkirk 2 Wind Project is a proposed approximate 150 megawatt (MW) wind power facility located north of the existing Halkirk Wind facility in Paintearth County, Alberta. The Battle River borders the proposed H2 Project area on the north and Paintearth Creek borders the Project area on the south. Highways 855 and 861 also border the Project Area on the west and east respectively. The Project area was selected due to its attractive wind resource.

The proposed H2 Project area, preliminary wind turbine layout, and associated access roads, electrical collector system and substation location are enclosed (see “H2 Preliminary Wind Turbine Layout Map”).

Technology Capital Power is currently evaluating various wind turbine generator (WTG) technologies for the Project, and are units with a traditional wind turbine configuration – three‐blade units similar to the equipment used in other Alberta wind facilities. The potential WTG technologies have rated power generation outputs ranging from 2.0 to 4.2 MW, tower heights from 80 to 120 metres and blade rotor diameters from 100 to 141 metres (see appended WTG sketch).

Environmental assessment Capital Power is working with Golder Associates to undertake detailed baseline environmental and noise assessments for the proposed H2 Project to obtain sign-off from Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP) and develop its Rule 007 Facility Application for submission to, and approval by, the AUC. Work completed to-date indicates the Project can be constructed and operated in an environmentally sound manner. We look forward to sharing the results, and receiving input, on these baseline assessments during the PIP phase of this process.

H2 Project Specific Information

To-date, studies conducted (or near completion) include:  Wintering bird surveys  Spring and fall migratory bird surveys  Raptor surveys  Avian use surveys  Bat surveys  Sharp-tailed grouse survey  Richardson ground squirrel survey  Wetland surveys  Native prairie surveys  Potential historical, paleontological, and archaeological resource evaluation  Noise impacts.

Development and planning The County of Paintearth has recently updated its Land Use Bylaw regulations for wind power facilities. Capital Power has developed a preliminary project layout in compliance with the County bylaw regulations and other provincially regulated guidelines.

Consideration was given to potential noise impacts from proposed WTGs at identified nearby residences, and analyses were performed to ensure compliance with the permissible sound levels detailed in AUC Rule 012 – Noise Control. We look forward to discussing more detailed site plans with landowners and neighbours during the PIP.

The minimum setbacks used to develop the preliminary Project design layout are consistent with the Paintearth County’s updated wind development guidelines (see “H2 Municipal Constraints” map).

Attribute Setback Provincial highway As per AB Transportation Roads 100 m (330 ft.) Property lines (leased) 50 m (164 ft.) Non-participating property lines (non-leased) 100 m (330 ft.) Residences (leased) 500 m (1640 ft.), or max. 40 db Non-participating residences (non-leased) 750 m (2460 ft.), or max. 40 db Blade clearance 7.6 m (25 ft.)

*Setback (i.e. the minimum distance between the wind turbine base and a specific attribute, e.g. house, road, etc.)

Proposed Development Schedule Capital Power intends to submit its Facility Application to the AUC under Rule 007 for regulatory approval in Q4 2016. Separate facility applications will be made for both a “wind power plant” and associated “substation”. As part of the facility applications, Capital Power will submit an environmental evaluation of the H2 Project to Alberta Environmental and Parks (AEP) for review and sign-off.

H2 Project Specific Information

Capital Power has submitted applications to the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) requesting the ability to interconnect to the existing transmission infrastructure within the proposed H2 Project area (this submission is currently under review).

Based on current timelines and pending the receipt of all regulatory and permitting approvals, we anticipate the Project would have the ability to achieve an In-Service Date in 2018. This timeline is subject to change depending on market conditions, government regulations and approval.

Notice of Public Open House Sessions (Oct. 5 and 6, 2016) Capital Power is seeking additional opportunities to provide input and feedback on the proposed H2 Project. Open house sessions will be held on Oct. 5 (4:00-8:00 pm) and Oct. 6 (8:00-11:00 am) at the Halkirk Community Hall.

Representatives from Capital Power, Golder Associates and Access Lands will be available to answer questions and gather input and feedback about the proposed Project.

More information about the Halkirk 2 Wind Project is available at: www.capitalpower.com/H2.

To further discuss the Project, contact: [email protected] or 780-392-5344.

Sincerely,

Wil Danek Business Development Manager Capital Power

“Getting our club members to participate in an event like this is exciting, fun and never gets bor- ing,” said Emma Holden, a long-time member of the club. “Often people bring a lot of food, today we had to make space for some items on the table.” Potluck suppers are a staple among the senior community in small town like Castor, where members socialize and update each other about family and other happenings in their lives, said another member. Golden Circle will host Christmas supper at the end of November.

Tower base. Tower The nacelle and generator are mounted on top of a high tower to allow the blades to take advantage of the best winds. Each Halkirk Wind tower is made up of four separate steel sections bolted together, creating a tower with a combined height of 80 metres and weight of about 160 metric tonnes. The tapered towers have a diameter of four metres at the base and roughly two metres at the top. An internal steel ladder takes wind farm operators up to the nacelle. Four resting platforms, where each section is bolted together, are inside the tower. A small elevator makes the trip easier, but assembly crews must climb their way to the top. Turbine assembly. Assembly Throughout the summer, the project’s 83 wind turbine generators will be assembled by an experienced crane operator. Even though the crane may stretch more than 150 m into the air, a skilled operator can lower a tower section to sit perfectly on top of the tower below – like giant LEGOTM – or they can place a blade gently into the hub. Technicians will ensure everything is in working order before the turbine is commissioned and sending electricity to the Alberta grid. ONE-BY-ONE ONCE THE TURBINE COMPONENTS ARRIVE ON SITE, THE PIECES ARE STACKED ONE-BY-ONE ON THE FOUNDATIONS. SITE MANAGERS AND THEIR TECHNICIANS WORK WITH OPERATORS OF GIANT CRANES TO HOIST THE MASSIVE COMPONENTS INTO POSITION.

Skilled operators delicately position equipment into place. 3,300 CAPITAL POWER OWNS MORE THAN 3,300 MEGAWATTS OF POWER GENERATION CAPACITY AT 16 FACILITIES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA.

Completed on time and under budget A worker intricately assembles steel rebar for a turbine’s spread footing foundation, which requires 400 m2 of concrete per foundation. In all 33,200 m2 of concrete was used for the Project’s 83 turbines. The concrete was produced at an on-site batch plant and trucked to each turbine site by a local contractor.

2 Trucks with specialized trailers carrying the turbine’s 44-metre long blades wait to leave the Project’s staging area in Hardisty, Alberta . Some of the turbine’s components, including its 249 blades were manufactured in Colorado and transported by rail to Wilson Siding near Lethbridge in southern Alberta. The turbine’s nacelles and hubs were shipped from Europe and stored at the port of Thunder Bay before travelling by rail almost 2,000 kilometres to Hardisty.

3 Each turbine consists of nine separate pieces (one nacelle, one hub, three blades and four tower sections). A 49-tonne tower base is pre-installed in this picture before a larger 600- tonne crane installs the lower-mid, upper-mid and top section of the tower, nacelle, hub and three blades. The four tower sections once assembled together measure 80-metres in height.

4 Looking like the nose of an airplane – a worker atop a 70 tonne nacelle, the size of a school bus prepares for the turbine’s three 44-metre long blades to be skillfully hoisted and feathered into the hub. The nacelle is the main operations centre of the turbine and contains the components that create electrical energy, including a generator, gearbox, cooling system, electronics and transformer.

5 Crane contractor Eagle West is a leading wind turbine installer in Canada. Here, a 600- tonne crane hoists a 44-metre blade 80 metres high and delicately feathers it into a hub. Each of the 6.5-tonne hollow blades is made of a carbon-reinforced fiberglass.

6 Many of the 83 turbines are accessed by public roads in the County of Paintearth. Capital Power was responsible for maintaining roads throughout construction and ensuring that the roads were left in as good or better condition than prior to construction.

7 Wind turbines from Capital Power’s Halkirk Wind Project dot the prairie skyline along with a grain elevator, a remnant of the west’s past. The Village of Halkirk celebrated its centennial this year, having been founded in 1912 and today is home to fewer than 150 people. It is located about 122 kilometres east of Red Deer in the County of Paintearth.

8 The primary industry in the Halkirk area is agriculture. Once installed, a turbine has a very small footprint with limited impact to agriculture, including cattle grazing. The majority of landowners who have turbines or access roads on their property have been working the land for four generations.

9 After a wetter than normal spring and a number of turbine assembly days ‘winded’ out due to high winds, night lifts were done to ensure the Project stayed on track for a Q4 2012 commissioning. The high-lift crane cannot safely operate if wind speeds exceed 35 kilometers per hour.

10 In mid-September, Capital Power hosted a community barbecue, offered tours of the renewable energy project and invited residents to sign their name to one of the Project’s 249 turbine blades. The decorated blade has been placed on turbine 52 located in the south-west quadrant of the project and east of Hwy 855. About 1,700 people attended the unique event.

11 Students from all five County of Paintearth schools participated in the blade signing event. Each of the schools assembled for a commemorative photo in front of the blade, which was on display at the Halkirk Rodeo Grounds. The students were thrilled to be a part of history as they signed the 44-metre long blade, which is the approximate length of four 48- passenger school buses.

12 Halkirk has a unique wind regime in the Alberta marketplace because of its geographical diversity being located far from wind resources in southern Alberta. The strong, consistent and above-average wind ratings in the area of east-central Alberta have a strong capacity factor and are ideal for harvesting wind energy.

13 The Halkirk Wind Project is Capital Power’s first major wind project in Alberta. Halkirk is Alberta’s single largest wind project developed to date with the ability to supply energy to about 50,000 homes (based on the average household energy use of 1,000 kWh/month).

14 Halkirk is the first project in Alberta to develop a unique market opportunity in California. While the power will be sold into the Alberta spot market, the Project is backed by a 20-year agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric for the sale of the environmental attributes, or Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), that come with generating power from a renewable resource like wind.

15 The turbines sit atop 80-metre towers and have 44-metre blades, for a total height of 124 metres, the height of a 37 storey building. In comparison, Capital Power’s head office in Edmonton at EPCOR Tower is 146 metres tall.

Halkirk consists of 83 turbines, which each produce 1.8 MW of power. The Vestas V-90 model was used on 35 of the 79 turbines at Quality Wind, which entered commercial operations in November. This technology will also be used at our Port Dover & Nanticoke Wind Project under construction in Ontario.

16 The 150-MW wind power facility is spread out on approximately 15,000 acres (10,000 ha) of private land in east-central Alberta 40 kilometres east of the Town of Stettler within Paintearth County. Each turbine actually has a very small footprint, including its road about one acre is required per turbine.

17 Capital Power owns more than 3,400 megawatts of power generation capacity at 15 facilities across North America. An additional 195 megawatts of owned wind generation capacity is under construction or in advanced development in Ontario.

18 Capital Power constructed a new office space and purchased an existing workshop in the Village of Halkirk. The office space houses the 16-18 permanent employees in operations, maintenance and administration for the Halkirk Wind Project.

19 A hazy band of beautiful white light known as the “Milky Way” arcs across the night sky on September 21, 2012 at the Halkirk Wind Project.

20 The community and economic benefits from the wind-power facility include increased tax revenue for the Village of Halkirk and Paintearth County as well as annual lease payments to landowners, construction jobs and economic offshoots for local businesses. Capital Power is committed to supporting the quality of life in the community throughout the life of the Project by supporting local initiatives including Bullarama, Halkirk Centennial and the Coronation 4-H Show & Sale.

Gerald Borgel and Brenda Anderson R. R. #1 Halkirk, AB T0C 1M0

Re: Proposed guyed meteorological tower installation at SW 10-40-15-W4M

Dear Mr. Borgel and Ms. Anderson,

Thank you for your comments regarding the proposed meteorological tower at SW 10-40-15- W4M. This letter is in response to the matters raised in your letter on January 8, 2016 specifically relating to this meteorological tower installation.

Environmental Disturbances The proposed location for construction of the meteorological tower is situated on agricultural/ cultivated lands, so there will be no disturbance to any critical wildlife habitat of any of the avian species cited in your letter. Subsequently, it is anticipated that there will be no negative impacts to wildlife resulting from the installation of this meteorological tower.

In addition, the proposed location of the meteorological tower is not located within an identified federal migratory bird corridor.

Private airstrips and crop spraying The proposed meteorological tower is part of the development process for the Halkirk 2 Wind Project. In November 2015, Capital Power submitted a Land Use Proposal to NAV Canada seeking clearance with respect to known aerodromes/airports (at the time of submission), and is currently awaiting NAV Canada’s feedback on the proposal. We would be happy to discuss the location and orientation of your planned air strip and crop spraying activities in more detail, at your convenience.

Safety Concerns – Residences Site selection for the proposed meteorological tower adheres to all municipal, provincial and federal regulated siting requirements. The meteorological tower will not impact the safety of adjacent residents.

1 Noise and Emissions Similar to a typical weather station, the proposed meteorological tower will include standard meteorological instruments used to collect data on wind speed, wind direction, temperature, pressure and humidity. Such equipment does not produce noise or emissions. Information collected by the tower will be transmitted using standard cellular data technology (similar to that used in a typical cell phone).

Proximity to Fly Ash Dump Thank you for your comments on the proximity of the proposed meteorological tower to the Paintearth Mine. We do not anticipate these conditions will affect the meteorological towers, but will monitor the equipment closely and clean and repair it as required.

Site Lines and Lighting Capital Power received aeronautical obstruction clearance for the meteorological tower from Transport Canada, who is responsible for determining lighting and painting requirements. Instead of lighting, the tower would be marked by painting in accordance with Transport Canada’s Standard 621.

Foundations The foundation for the meteorological tower may contain a small amount of concrete, but in any case, will not negatively impact groundwater.

We look forward to continuing to share information about the proposed H2 Wind Project with you and all community members within Paintearth County.

Sincerely,

Breanne Fox Business Development Manager

Circle Square Ranch c/o Kevin Perry Box 3 Halkirk, AB T0C 1M0

Re: Proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Project

Hello Mr. Perry,

We appreciate you taking time to meet on Nov. 11, 2016 and showing us Circle Square Ranch’s operations to help better understand your concerns. We want to further respond to the matters we discussed.

1. Assess the red blinking lights at Halkirk Wind (if not all the lights, the ones directly within view of the ranch).

Update: To provide more context, the red blinking lights on Halkirk Wind turbines are aircraft navigation lights, and are a federal requirement to aid the safe navigation of aircraft. Upon commissioning, Halkirk Wind complied with all of Transport Canada’s standards and regulations, including the equipment used and its operation.

Facility federal approval included the following conditions:  The use of a CL-864 medium intensity white flashing beacon;  Turbines located on the perimeter to be painted aviation white;  Lights to be spaced at intervals not exceeding 900 m for given directions of aircraft  approach; and  All indicator lighting provided for a windfarm shall flash simultaneously.

Transport Canada included direction to place lights on 40 of the 83 Halkirk Wind turbines, and specifically identified which turbines were to receive the lights. While we understand that approximately half of the facility wind turbines are viewable from Circle Square Ranch, the federal requirement and the overall importance of aircraft safety means that we must adhere to the approved federal permits for the wind facility.

2. Sight lines for the proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Project Area location – will Circle Square Ranch be able to view any potential new H2 towers? Update: The attached graphic identifies three lines to the closest towers and corresponding elevation profiles of each line. There is a slight increase in elevation in the first 2000 m, then the elevation drops towards the towers.

Our assessment indicates that the base of the tower will not be within view of the ranch; however, the top of the tower may be within view. The towers would be (at minimum) six kilometres away from the ranch, and therefore will appear much smaller than the existing turbines at Halkirk Wind.

3. In an effort to be part of the community, are there ways Capital Power can support the ranch?

Update: We are open to discussing potential opportunities for Capital Power’s involvement with Circle Square Ranch. I can put you in touch with a member of the community investment team if you have questions.

Capital Power has a well-established community investment program in which we work to foster healthy communities through engaging stakeholders, promoting sustainability and addressing the individual needs of our communities. We work closely with citizens and typically invest in grassroots, citizen-led projects to preserve and strengthen community character, ecology, and cultural heritage in the communities in which we operate.

We support programs and initiatives in three focus areas:  Community Heritage and Fellowship;  Enrichment of Community Character; and  Preservation of Community Ecology.

More information about our community investment program, criteria and process is available at: www.capitalpower.com/community. All requests for support are submitted through a brief online request form on this site.

We appreciate and thank you for your input and participation in this process, and will continue to provide updates as the project progresses through development.

If you have any further questions, please contact me or the Capital Power Halkirk 2 Wind Project team directly at: [email protected].

Sincerely,

Wil Danek Business Development Manager Capital Power 403-736-3305; [email protected]

Re: Halkirk 2 Wind Project Open House – follow-up

Hello Mr. and Ms. Maier,

We appreciate you taking time to attend the proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Project Open House on October 5, 2016. We want to further respond to the matters discussed.

1. Request more information on the County of Paintearth setback policy.

Update: The County of Paintearth Land Use Bylaw (NO. 593 – 09) is attached for your reference. Please see section 49: Solar and Wind Energy Conversion Systems on p. 62. If you require any further information on the bylaw, contact Todd Pawsey, Paintearth County Development Officer at 403-882-3211.

2. Request for specific distances from your residence to proposed H2 wind turbine locations.

Update: See attached graphic showing your residence, the setback radius lines and distance to proposed H2 wind turbine locations.

3. Legal land description reference (on previous correspondence) is in error.

Update: The quarter section LLD was provided to help assist readers locate specific sites (i.e. acreage), as it is a “lot block and plan” description. Technically, your lot is located on two quarters; however, since your residence is on the west quarter, we will endeavor to change the reference to NE-27-39-15-W4M on all future correspondence.

4. The setback circle on Capital Power maps incorrectly indicates 500 m instead of 750 m.

Update: The error was noted and updated. A copy of the current map will be provided to you in the upcoming weeks. 5. Request for acreage landowner compensation to be indexed with inflation, similar to lease compensation.

Update: We are continuing to analyze this request (in relation to the Project financials), and will provide an update for you shortly.

We appreciate and thank you for your input and participation in this process, and will continue to provide updates as the project progresses through development.

If you have any further questions, please contact me or the Capital Power Halkirk 2 Wind Project team directly at: [email protected].

Re: Proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Project

Hello Mr. and Ms. Blumhagen,

Thank you for meeting on October 18, 2016 and taking time to show your residence and campground operations. We understand your concern regarding the blinking red lights on the towers at Halkirk Wind, and want to further respond to this matter.

To provide more context, the red blinking lights on wind turbines are aircraft navigation lights, and are a federal requirement to aid the safe navigation of aircraft. Upon commissioning, the Halkirk 2 Wind Project would comply with all of Transport Canada’s standards and regulations, including the equipment used and its operation.

As reviewed at our meeting, the attached map shows the closest visible wind turbine for the proposed Halkirk 2 Wind Project is located over 2 km away and at a higher elevation. While we understand that the nearest wind turbine(s) would potentially be viewable from your residence and campground, the federal requirement and the overall importance of aircraft safety means that we must adhere to the approved federal permits for the wind facility.

We appreciate and thank you for your input and participation in this process, and will continue to provide updates as the project progresses through development. If you have any further questions, please contact me or the Capital Power Halkirk 2 Wind Project team directly at: [email protected].
