9 Local Benefits The Maritime Link $70 M in contracts awarded in Atlantic Canada 300 jobs/year (600 at peak) during construction. Reduces CO 2 &, balances for more renewable development. Helps stabilize prices. Creates Atlantic electricity loop; access to energy options. Lower Churchill Projects: (Muskrat Falls & LIL) During construction, Muskrat Falls & Labrador Island Link will cost approx. $7 billion, creating opportunities for local businesses. Together, the Maritime Link project, Muskrat Falls and LIL create approx direct person years of work. Joint Benefits MOU offers business in both NS & NL equal access to $8.5 billion in economic activity. 9

10 ON Northeast Transmission Development Strong interest in long-term QC contracts for renewable energy from Northern Maine/Canada.

11 Emera s Tidal History: Barrage Annapolis Tidal Station Opened in 1984 First & only in North America. 20 MW (Daily output MWh) 11

12 Emera s Tidal History: 2009 Demo. Project 10 meter in-stream turbine Deployed in Bay of Fundy 2009 Retrieved in

13 Emera and Tidal Today Part of a group, led by OpenHydro, to deploy multi-phase tidal array in Bay of Fundy. Goal to develop commercial tidal industry in the region. Phases 1 (2015): 4 MW array. 2 (2017): installation of additional 12 MW. 3 (2019): increase array size to 50 MW 4 (2020+): 300 MW commercial project. 13

14 Building a Local Industry Currently, 10 permanent staff in NS (mainly local hires). Local manufacturing; Turbine assembly at site. Team will grow as we move to next phase. Projected: 950 direct/indirect jobs when producing 100 MW/year. 14

15 Local Spending: Phase 1 (4MW array) 30% procured outside Nova Scotia 30% OUTSIDE NOVA SCOTIA Blades, Coils, Bearings, Laminates, Blades Laminates Magnets, Power Coils Conversion Magnets Bearings Power Conversion 70% PROCURED IN NOVA SCOTIA Journals Subsea Base Barge End Caps, Buoyancy, Venturi, Lifting Inner System & Outer Ring, Journals, End caps Subsea Base, Buoyancy Barge, Lifting System, Venturi Capital Equipment Capital Equipment Inner & Outer Ring. 70% procured in Nova Scotia 15

16 Emera and Offshore Floating Wind Maine Aqua Ventus I To harness offshore wind energy for clean, quiet renewable generation. Pilot project: 2 Turbine, 12 MW off coast of Maine Partnership with University of Maine Future goal: 500 MW deep water project 16

17 Why offshore Wind in Maine? Maine s largest untapped renewable resource equivalent to roughly 156 nuclear power plants. 17

18 Future possibilities Offshore Floating Wind in the Caribbean Exploring application for this technology in other jurisdictions. Long term vision for opportunity. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion(OTEC) Old technology, reapplied news way. Centralized offshore power plants. Future opportunity for the Caribbean market. 18
