About Atlantic Power
Atlantic Power owns and operates a diverse fleet of
twenty-three power generation assets across nine states in
the United States and two
provinces in Canada. The Company's power generation projects
sell electricity to utilities and other large commercial customers
largely under long-term power purchase agreements, which seek to
minimize exposure to changes in commodity prices. The
aggregate gross electric generation capacity of this portfolio is
approximately 2,138 megawatts (MW), and the Company's aggregate net
ownership interest is approximately 1,500 MW. Nineteen of the
projects are currently operational, totaling 1,975 MW on a gross
capacity basis and 1,337 MW on a net ownership basis. The
remaining four projects, all in Ontario, are not operational, three due to
revised contractual arrangements with the offtaker and the other,
Tunis, has a forward-starting
15-year contractual agreement that will commence between
November 2017 and June
2019.
