If you have questions or comments, please ask one of our representatives or fill out a comment form and we ll be in touch. Thank you for attending!

2 Hand Hills Wind Project Background Development work on the Hand Hills Wind Project has been underway since BluEarth acquired the Hand Hills Wind Project from Joss Wind Power Inc. in the fall of On August 31, 2012 after several years of study, including wind resource analysis, environmental and heritage studies and assessments, public and agency consultation and turbine siting, the Hand Hills Wind Project received Alberta Utilities Commission approval to construct and operate. Since receiving the approval, BluEarth has been consulting with stakeholders, meeting with the involved municipalities and completing technical and environmental studies. Technical studies and major advancements in wind turbine technology have led us to select a new turbine for the project. BluEarth will be filing an amendment to our approved Alberta Utilities Commission application in June 2017 to reflect the changes to the turbines.

3 Hand Hills Wind Project Project Description Facility size: up to 78.2 MW capacity of renewable power Number of turbines: up to 34 turbines 34.5-kilovolt electrical collector system and fibre-optic cable New ATCO transmission line will connect the new Highland 572S substation to the Alberta electricity grid at Coyote Lake 963S substation, 13 km south of the project Access roads, temporary construction roads, and an operations and maintenance building Located approximately 28 km northeast of Drumheller, Alberta and 3 km south of Delia, Alberta Delia Highway 9 Hanna Starland County Special Areas No. 2 LEGEND Proposed Turbine Proposed Project Lands Road Highway Railroad Property Line Municipal Boundary Highway 851 Township Road 300 Range Road 164 Preliminary layout

4 Hand Hills Wind Project Environmental Considerations As a condition of the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) permit, and to update our knowledge of the environmental conditions at the site, BluEarth has consulted with Alberta Environment and Parks and is conducting various environmental studies in Studies planned or underway during 2017 will assess: Spring and Fall Bird Migration Spring and Fall Bat Migration Breeding Birds Nesting Raptors Sensitive Species (e.g., Sharp-tailed Grouse, Burrowing Owl and Amphibians) Wetlands Listed Plants Habitat Mapping Results of the 2017 environmental surveys will be provided to Alberta Environment and Parks for their review and comment. The AUC Power Plant application will also consist of: An Environmental Evaluation to outline the site conditions and potential Project impacts on the environment Environmental Protection Plan to provide mitigations to reduce potential environmental impacts Noise Impact Assessment to assess predicted noise levels at residences to ensure that the Project does not cause noise level limits to be exceeded

5 Hand Hills Wind Project Sound Wind energy projects must meet the detailed Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) regulatory requirements for noise control Detailed noise modelling is undertaken to ensure the AUC sound level requirements of 40 dba (night time) are met at all residences. The noise modelling considers: Topography (hills and slopes); Ground cover (trees, water, grass); and Existing noise sources (oil & gas infrastructure, highways). Studies of the noise conditions within the Hand Hills Wind Project area are an important factor in selecting the final turbines for the Project. * Permissible Sound Level (PSL) includes sound contribution from ambient (i.e., background) noise, other regulated facilities (e.g., oil and gas infrastructure, power/utilities infrastructure), and any newly proposed regulated facilities (i.e., the Project). Nighttime PSL at receptors in rural environments is 40 dba (AUC Rule 012 Noise Control)

6 Hand Hills Wind Project Project Benefits What are the benefits of wind development? Employment temporary jobs during construction (approximately 100,000 person hours) and permanent jobs associated with the operations and maintenance of the Project (4 to 5 full-time positions). New Investment in the form of local services and supplies such as infrastructure improvements, fuel, accommodation, meals and supplies for employees, construction personnel, and contractors who will spend time in the local communities. Landowners and Community wind turbines are compatible with other land uses, such as farming, and can serve as a financial boost for rural economic development. Municipal Tax Revenues municipal taxes paid by wind companies to rural communities can be important, and the project does not increase demand on municipal services or public works such as sewer and water upgrades. Clean Energy wind energy provides societal benefits by offsetting harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and sulphur dioxides that are created through conventional, thermal power generation.

8 BluEarth Renewables Headquartered in Calgary, BluEarth Renewables is a private independent renewable power producer, focused on the acquisition, development, construction and operation of wind, water, and solar projects. BluEarth s mission is to be the Canadian renewable energy leader by developing, building, and operating a portfolio that optimizes people, planet, and profit. BluEarth believes it has the power to change the future TM by demonstrating how to be sustainable and profitable, leaving the world a better place. For more information, visit bluearth.ca. BluEarth has 18 operating power generation facilities Bull Creek Wind Facility NE of Provost, Alberta Constructed in 2015 Bow Lake Wind Facility NW of Sault Ste Marie, Ontario Operational in Solar Wind Hydro Development Pending Acquisition 6

9 Hand Hills Wind Project Alberta Climate Leadership Plan Electricity generation is the second largest source of emissions in Alberta, responsible for 17%, or 45 megatonnes of greenhouse gas emissions in Coal fired generation represents 85% of total emissions from the electricity sector. The Alberta government is currently looking for opportunities to reduce emissions. They have committed to increasing renewable energy generation to 30% by 2030 through investments in wind, solar and hydroelectric technologies. BluEarth intends to bid the project into the Renewable Energy Program (REP) process, which would award long-term generation contracts for wind energy projects. The REP is a competitive process based on power price, so it will encourage competition among developers that will ultimately result in lower power prices from renewable energy projects.
