ENMAX Investigated for Importing Power
For Immediate Release
Calgary
05 Jul 2007

On September 28th 2005, one of ENMAX Energy’s generators broke down.

To replace this power, we sought the cheapest supplies available to meet our customers’ needs.

Alberta generators did not offer to meet all these needs at reasonable prices.

We therefore imported power to cover the remaining shortfall.

We understand one or more of the generators has complained to the Market Surveillance Administrator (MSA).

We believe that what we did on September 28th followed the MSA’s guidance, but we respect their authority and are actively involved in their investigation.

ENMAX Energy Corporation, a subsidiary of ENMAX Corporation, is Alberta’s leading competitive electricity retailer. In addition to electricity, ENMAX Energy provides natural gas, renewable energy and value-added services to residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout Alberta. ENMAX Energy contracts low-cost reliable electricity from the Keephills and Battle River coal-fired plants and meets peak demand through a long term agreement with the natural gas fired Calgary Energy Centre. Through a subsidiary, it is one of Alberta’s largest investors in renewable energy with 50 per cent ownership of the McBride Lake Wind Farm and 100 per cent ownership of the Taber Wind Farm. ENMAX Energy has the largest green power marketing program of its kind in Canada and in 2006, received the Consumer Champion Award for its ground-breaking EasyMax® program.
