### • In 2013, invested $2B in our electrical

system including a record $1.3B

internally and $700M through a

partnership with Northland Power.

• F orecasting to invest $1B annually for

the foreseeable future.

• 3 key elements to SaskPower’s

ongoing capital spending program:

1. Forecasted system growth;

2. Sustainment investments; and

3. Financial Impact.

# STORAGE.

• Pure CO 2 storage with SaskPower’s Carbon

Storage and Research Centre’s host project,

Aquistore

.

• Independent monitoring project that identifies

feasibility of injecting CO 2 into a deep saline

reservoir in an effort to reduce GHG emissions

.

• Aquistore will receive approximately 350,000

tonnes of CO 2 over its life. Storage is regulated

by the Ministry of Environment.

• Will be measured, monitored, verified and

audited.

• Saskatchewan has experience with storage due

to the Weyburn Midale project. Approximately 20

million tonnes of CO 2 stored and monitored

.
