CEO Message

2025 stands as a pivotal year for Capital Power, we executed our well-defined strategy with discipline, delivered strong financial results while making solid progress on the key goals we set, strengthening our growth platform and transforming our company. Our achievements this year position Capital Power to thrive amid unprecedented electricity demand growth across North America.

We completed the largest acquisition in our history, expanding into North America's largest and most liquid power market, the PJM region. Underscoring the success of our diversification strategy, this acquisition represents a key milestone with our U.S. portfolio now accounting for roughly 60% of our capacity and adjusted EBITDA.

We continue to operate one of the most reliable and efficient portfolios in North America, leveraging our in-house expertise to maximize availability, optimize sustaining capital, and extend asset life. These efforts enhance our positioning for commercial optimization opportunities. This is evidenced by the improved pricing for longer duration on a new contract for MCV expiring in 2040 when this asset will have been operating for 50 years.

As we execute with precision and grow with momentum, I am pleased to welcome Kevin MacIntosh as our Chief Financial Officer on March 16, 2026. With over 30 years of experience as a finance leader, Mr. MacIntosh will play a critical role in executing Capital Power's strategy, bringing expertise across crucial functions including capital allocation, acquisition integration, cross-border reporting and controls, and optimization of enterprise business process. On behalf of the Board, the executive team and all of Capital Power, I thank Scott Manson for his strong leadership and expertise, including his service as Interim CFO.

Our industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The convergence of AI-driven demand, electrification, and population growth is reshaping the power sector. As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, Capital Power operates from a position of strength, with greater scale, enhanced diversification, and increased visibility into future cash flows that support our investment grade credit rating. We are well equipped to meet rising power demand, adapt to evolving market dynamics, and deliver sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.

Alberta data centre MOU

In December 2025, the Company entered into a binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) with an investment grade data centre developer for a 250 MW Energy Supply Agreement (ESA).

On November 14, 2025, Capital Power completed a public offering in Canada of unsecured medium-term notes (Notes) in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. The Notes have an interest rate of 4.231% and mature on January 14, 2033.
