“In Q4 2024, we proudly completed our Genesee Repowering project, transitioning Capital Power and the Province of Alberta off coal. This project dramatically reduced our carbon emissions and added significant lower heat rate capacity – making our Genesee 1 and 2 Canada's most efficient natural gas combined cycle units2. In addition to growing our capacity in Alberta, we diversified our fleet through U.S. acquisitions while advancing development across our renewables and flexible generation assets in Canada and the U.S. We are set up for success, with a fleet of well-maintained and optimized assets and access to multiple sources of attractively priced capital. With our expanded North American presence, Capital Power is positioned to continue growing to meet this unprecedented era of energy expansion,” said Avik Dey, President and CEO of Capital Power.
“Our financial results continue to demonstrate the prudence of our strategy and focus on geographic diversification, pro-active risk management and long-term contractedness. These efforts stabilize our cash flows which, along with the dividend, offer a compelling total return. Our strong financial position means our 2025 capital spend, including the advancement of fully contracted projects and maintenance capital, is fully funded along with our dividend. This strong financial position is driven by our base cash flows that are almost entirely long-term contracted or hedged; our cash on hand derived from selling down renewable assets, and successfully executing our largest ever bought deal equity financing. This positions us better than ever to pursue acquisitions as part of our growth strategy while maintaining financial stability,” stated Sandra Haskins, SVP Finance and CFO of Capital Power.

Significant Events
Renewable power asset sell-down
On December 20, 2024, the Company closed its sale of 49% interests in the Quality Wind facility in British Columbia and the Port Dover and Nanticoke Wind facility in Ontario to Axium Infrastructure. Total pre-tax cash proceeds from the transaction are $333 million, inclusive of working capital. At December 31, 2024, transaction fees of $7 million have been recorded within trade and other payables.
The two wind facilities are fully contracted with investment grade counterparties and have a remaining weighted average contract life of ~11 years. Capital Power will continue to manage and operate the assets on behalf of the newly formed partnership under a long-term asset management agreement. Consistent with its strategy, the transaction represents the crystallization of a levered equity return in excess of Capital Power's capital allocation thresholds and enhances its financial flexibility.
$460 million bought offering of common shares
On December 17, 2024, the Company completed a public offering of 7,820,000 common shares (inclusive of the full exercise of a 1,020,000 common shares over-allotment option), at an issue price of $58.80 per common share for total gross proceeds of approximately $460 million (the Offering) less issue costs of $19 million.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund future potential acquisitions and growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.
Genesee is off coal and repowering achieves commercial operations
On June 18, 2024, the Company reached a significant milestone for the Genesee Repowering project with the announcement that the Genesee Generating Station is off coal and now 100% natural gas-fueled, resulting in the facility being off coal more than 5 years ahead of the Alberta government mandate.
On December 13, 2024, the Company announced that its Genesee Repowering project as Genesee Unit 2 achieved combined cycle commercial operations. This milestone marked a significant phase in the Genesee Repowering project resulting in Genesee Units 1 and 2 becoming Canada's most efficient natural gas combined cycle facility3. The advancement of this project increases overall capacity at the Genesee Generating Station by 512 MW and reduces CO2 emissions (Scope 1) by 3.4 MT annually4 – representing a ~60% increase in capacity while reducing emissions (Scope 1) by ~40%.
The approximately $1.5 billion project began construction in summer 2021 requiring more than 5.8 million hours of labour with a peak of ~1,250 workers on site. Located entirely within the footprint of the existing Genesee Generating Station, the project involved installing two new Mitsubishi M501JAC gas-fired combustion turbines and Vogt triple-pressure heat recovery steam generators, while utilizing the units' existing steam turbine generators.
The Genesee Generating Station is now capable of delivering up to 1,857 MW of reliable, affordable and lower-carbon power for Alberta's thriving economy. The significant baseload generation available on the 26,000+ acre site supports grid-wide reliability while presenting opportunities for future development, energizing the Alberta advantage for new technologies, industries and growth. With the project now complete, Capital Power will be referring to the Genesee Generating Station as a single facility in our portfolio (30 total facilities instead of 32 when counting all three units separately).
Refinancing of York Energy
On November 27, 2024, York Energy successfully refinanced and upsized its existing term loan for an additional approximately ten-year term maturing April 30, 2035. The $315 million term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.34% and is repayable in quarterly installments. This refinancing creates interest savings of approximately 0.66% and extends the maturity to align with the power purchase agreements expiring in 2035.
Organizational review – voluntary departure program
On October 24, 2024, the Company announced the rollout of the voluntary departure program (VDP) and achieved a reduction in its Canada-based corporate employees of approximately 40% (165 positions). The VDP is the result of a strategic organizational review to optimize the organization to scale and grow efficiently, inclusive of decentralizing corporate functions, reducing headcount in certain areas and expanding in key growth areas.
In connection with the restructuring, the Company incurred a total cost of $49 million, which includes $10 million related to employee benefit costs that would have otherwise been incurred in future periods. The total restructuring costs are expected to be paid within the next six months as the employees participating in the VDP will depart the Company by June 2025.
Analyst conference call and webcast
Capital Power will be hosting a conference call and live webcast with analysts on February 26, 2025 at 9:00 am (MT) to discuss the fourth quarter and 2024 year-end financial results. The webcast can be accessed at: https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/p/vvu8g99s/.
Conference call details will be sent directly to analysts.
An archive of the webcast will be available on the Company's website at www.capitalpower.com following the conclusion of the analyst conference call.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Ratios
Capital Power uses (i) earnings before net finance expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments, foreign exchange gains or losses, finance expense and depreciation expense from our joint venture interests, gains or losses on disposals and unrealized changes in fair value of commodity derivatives and emission credits (adjusted EBITDA), and (ii) AFFO as specified financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA and AFFO are both non-GAAP financial measures.
Capital Power also uses AFFO per share as a specified performance measure. This measure is a non-GAAP ratio determined by applying AFFO to the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
These terms are not defined financial measures according to GAAP and do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures used by other enterprises. These measures should not be considered alternatives to net income, net income attributable to shareholders of Capital Power, net cash flows from operating activities or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP. Rather, these measures are provided to complement GAAP measures in the analysis of our results of operations from management's perspective.
Adjusted EBITDA
Capital Power uses adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of facilities and categories of facilities from period to period. Management believes that a measure of facility operating performance is more meaningful if results not related to facility operations are excluded from the adjusted EBITDA measure such as impairments, foreign exchange gains or losses, gains or losses on disposals and other transactions, unrealized changes in fair value of commodity derivatives and emission credits and other items that are not reflective of the long-term performance of the Company's underlying business.
A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income is as follows:

Adjusted funds from operations and adjusted funds from operations per share
AFFO and AFFO per share are measures of the Company's ability to generate cash from its operating activities to fund growth capital expenditures, the repayment of debt and the payment of common share dividends.
AFFO represents net cash flows from operating activities adjusted to:
- remove timing impacts of cash receipts and payments that may impact period-to-period comparability which include deductions for net finance expense and current income tax expense, the removal of deductions for interest paid and income taxes paid and removing changes in operating working capital,
- include the Company's share of the AFFO of its joint venture interests and exclude distributions received from the Company's joint venture interests which are calculated after the effect of non-operating activity joint venture debt payments,
- include cash from off-coal compensation that will be received annually,
- remove the tax equity financing project investors' shares of AFFO associated with assets under tax equity financing structures so only the Company's share is reflected in the overall metric,
- deduct sustaining capital expenditures and preferred share dividends,
- exclude the impact of fair value changes in certain unsettled derivative financial instruments that are charged or credited to the Company's bank margin account held with a specific exchange counterparty, and
- exclude other typically non-recurring items affecting cash from operating activities that are not reflective of the long-term performance of the Company's underlying business.
