Bruce Power Restart

Construction activity is continuing on the refurbishment and restart of Bruce A Units 1 and 2 with a focus on the reassembly of the reactors and other related activities. As of December 31, 2009, Bruce A had incurred approximately $3.2 billion in costs for the refurbishment and restart of these units and approximately $0.2 billion for the refurbishment of Units 3 and 4. TransCanada believes that its share of the total capital cost to complete the Unit 1 and 2 refurbishment and restart program will be approximately $2 billion. The bulk of the highly technical, high-risk work on this project is now finished or nearing completion. Although a significant amount of work remains to be completed, most of the work is conventional power plant construction activity. A project optimization plan implemented by Bruce Power last year is achieving success in improving productivity. TransCanada expects that Unit 2 will be restarted in mid-2011, with Unit 1 to follow approximately four months later.

Bruce Power continues to advance an initiative to further extend the operating lives of Units 3 and 4. Unit 4 is now expected to continue to operate beyond 2018 and plans are in place to implement an extensive maintenance program that, if successful and approved by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission would see the life of Unit 3 extended for a similar period of time.
