Version 3.0 Report Form – January 2020

Is the project located in Alberta? Are the emission reductions in Alberta.

Yes

Project boundary The Castle Rock Ridge 76 MW Wind Project is located approximately 3 kilometers north of Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada and is bounded by the Oldman reservoir to the north.

Ownership The Project is owned by Castle Rock Ridge Limited Partnership (CRRLP), an Alberta limited partnership formed between several wholly owned subsidiaries of Enel Green Power Canada Inc. with the General Partner being Enel Alberta Wind Inc (EAWI). The CRRLP received approval from the Alberta Utilities Commission to construct the Castle Rock Ridge Wind Plant under Decision 2010-58 (Errata).

2.1 Project Implementation The emission offset project was implemented in accordance with the guidance provided in Alberta Environment Quantification Protocol for Wind Powered Electricity Generation (March 2008, Version 1) (Protocol). No flexibility mechanisms are used.

Table 3 in Section 3 Calculations below provides project specific details on how the protocol has been implemented in quantifying emission reductions from the Castle Rock Ridge Wind Power Project and is based on the methodology defined in the Protocol. Minor changes have been made in the calculation procedures, data collection/record keeping, emission factors and some other variables than what has been described in the Offset Project Plan for the 2019 vintage offsets. These minor changes are as follows: O Propane consumed on site has been added. A receipt is supplied by the vendor indicating the weight of propane purchased and the date of purchase. Propane consumption at the Project has been applied to the appropriate monthly total in Greenhouse Gas Quantification Calculations – P1 Facility Operations – Fossil Fuels Consumption – Propane (LBS). • O Greater explanation on invoicing periods by the third-party service provider EPCOR has been added. A table has been added to the Project Workbook detailing the electricity consumption of the Substation Building and O&M Building on a calendar month. For each bill received, the billing period is for a period of the 8th to the end of the calendar month. The 1st to the 7th is found on the previous months invoice. The table P1-EPCOR reconciles the billing period to the 1st to the last day of the calendar month. • O Greater explanation on invoicing periods by the third-party service provider AltaGas has been added. A table has been added to the Project Workbook detailing the fossil fuel consumption on a calendar month. For each bill received, the billing period is for a period of the 1st to the 23rd of the calendar month. The 23rd to the end of the month is found on the next month’s invoice. The table P1-AltaGas reconciles the billing period for the 1st to the last day of the calendar month.

Version 3.0 Report Form – January 2020

• O Greater explanation on SF6 disclosure. According to the SF6 breaker manufacturer, the SF6 circuit breakers are manufactured to be a closed gas system with a very low leakage rate. When the circuit breaker operates (Open or Close) the gas is used as the insulation medium and the quenching of the arc. Over the life span of the circuit breaker, there should be no gas loss. • O In July 2014 the Project changed its purchasing for the volume of gasoline consumed on site by the one service truck. It no longer uses one single vendor but uses all available vendors. A receipt is supplied by the vendor indicating the volume of gasoline purchased and the date of purchase. The volume of gasoline is applied to the appropriate monthly total in Greenhouse Gas Quantification Calculations - P1 Facility Operations - Fossil Fuels Consumption – Gasoline (L). The reporting period addressed by this document is January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2019 (inclusive). 2012 was the first year of Project operations. Following 2012, the reporting period will be for full calendar years starting January 1st ending December 31st of each vintage year. The 2019 vintage verification is Internat Energy Solution Canada Inc.’s third for the Project.

2.2 Protocol Alberta Environment Quantification Protocol for Wind Powered Electricity Generation (March 2008, Version 1) No flexibility mechanisms are used. The Project is located in Alberta, generates electricity from wind, and connects to the Alberta Integrated Electricity System. The Project complies with the quantification protocol Alberta Environment Quantification Protocol for Wind Powered Electricity Generation (March 2008, Version 1). The Project uses this Protocol to meet the measurement, monitoring and GHG quantification requirements for reductions from the electricity generated at Castle Rock Ridge 76 MW Wind Project. The Project also aligns with all applicability requirements stated in the quantification protocol. Specifically:

1. Metering of net electricity generation occurs at a point downstream of generation at the point of interconnection with the electricity grid; and

2. Emission reductions are quantified based on actual measurements and monitoring.

2.3 Risks There are a number of sources of risk to the regular Projects operations. Wind powered electricity generation projects are dependent on the proper functioning of the revenue meter to calculate the Greenhouse Gas Offset Credits generated by the Project. The risk of metering failure is mitigated by the maintenance and calibration procedures of the project.

Castle Rock Ridge 76 MW Wind Project March 2019

Page 11 of 23

Version 3.0 Report Form – January 2020

The Project is required to follow industry practices while under regular operations. There are environmental monitoring requirements with the Fish and Wildlife Division of Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development as well as with Natural Resources Canada that will be undertaken for the first 2 years of the project life. These potential impacts have been mitigated by undertaking the appropriate pre-construction risk assessment and consultation with the regulatory agencies.

3.2 Calculations Section 4 of the Alberta Quantification Protocol for Wind-Powered Electricity Generation defines the appropriate methodology in quantifying emission reductions from wind power projects. The

following three equations serve as the basis for calculating the emission reductions from the Project, using the emission profiles of the baseline and project conditions. Note that only SSRs determined to be relevant to this Project are included here.
