3 Who is TransCanada? With more than 60 years of experience, TransCanada is a leader in the responsible development and reliable operation of North American energy infrastructure. Transports the majority of western Canada s natural gas production to market. Moves 14 billion cubic feet per day or 20 percent of North America s gas. Owns or has interests in over 11,800 megawatts of power generation in Canada and the United States (operating, under construction, or in development), which is enough power to meet the demand of over 11 million homes. In Ontario: Owns nearly 8,000 kilometres of pipeline Produces approximately 3,500 megawatts of generating capacity Has approximately 250 employees Pays more than $33 million in annual salaries Pays more than $74 million in annual property taxes Contributed more than $11 million to community organizations in the last decade

8 What is Combined Cycle Technology? Combined Cycle Technology Cycle 1: The Gas Turbine In the gas turbine cycle, air is compressed then heated Heat Recovery Steam Generator through the combustion of natural gas. The expansion High-pressure Steam Gas Turbine Hot Exhaust Natural Gas Fuel Supply of gases turns the turbine, which drives a generator, producing electricity. Steam Turbine Gas Turbine Generators Transformer Electricity What is Combined Cycle Generation? A combined cycle plant uses both a gas turbine and a steam turbine to produce electricity. Electricity is generated first in the gas turbine cycle using natural gas fuel and then the steam turbine cycle. Cycle 2: The Steam Turbine Heat created in the first cycle (that would otherwise be wasted) is recovered to produce steam. This steam is provided to a steam turbine. Similar to the gas turbine cycle, the expansion of steam turns a steam turbine which drives a generator, producing electricity. Adding the steam cycle to the gas turbine cycle increases the amount of electricity generated from a given amount of natural gas. Subsequently, there is greater fuel efficiency and fewer emissions produced per unit of electricity generated than would be produced by the gas turbine on its own.

Proposed NGS View from West Preliminary Rendering (view from west): The Napanee Generating Station (NGS) is a 900 MW natural gas-fuelled electricity generating station.

9 Proposed NGS View from West Preliminary Rendering (view from west): The Napanee Generating Station (NGS) is a 900 MW natural gas-fuelled electricity generating station. This proposed facility will be located on the existing Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Lennox Generating Station site in the County of Lennox and Addington in the Town of Greater Napanee.
