11. Alberta power price outlook
11
Saw a sharp decline in 2015 forward prices in late Jan 2015 when
spot prices began to decline, Shepard Energy Centre reaching
material generation levels and declining natural gas prices
12. Financial outlook
Due to a significant decline in global oil prices that is expected to
lower both economic and power demand growth in AB, along with
lower forward natural gas prices for 2015, AB power forward prices
have recently declined
2015 AB power forwards are currently in mid-$30/MWh range, which
is lower than our original forecast assumption of $44/MWh
Actions taken over the last several years including our hedging and
cost reduction programs anticipated lower pricing in 2015
AB baseload position for 2015 is fully hedged in the mid-$50/MWh
2015 FFO expectation remains the same but in the lower end of
$365M to $415M guidance range
Company’s financial strength is based on the foundation of strong
contracted cash flow which is not impacted by changing AB power
prices – remain confident in our credit rating and dividend growth
