FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Suncor Energy to exchange select wind power facilities for TransAlta Corporations Poplar Creek cogeneration facilities
Calgary, Alberta (July 7, 2015) Suncor Energy today announced that it has reached an agreement with TransAlta Corporation to exchange Suncors Kent Breeze and its share of the Wintering Hills wind power facilities for TransAltas Poplar Creek cogeneration facilities. The Poplar Creek facilities provide steam and power for Suncors Oil Sands Base site in Fort McMurray Alberta.
As part of the agreement, Suncor will acquire two steam turbine generators, transmission and distribution infrastructure, including the interconnection to the Alberta power grid, and the balance of plant assets at the 376 megawatt (MW) Poplar Creek cogeneration facility. Additionally, under a contract with TransAlta until 2030, Suncor will assume operating control of two gas turbine generators and heat recovery steam generators at Poplar Creek. Following 2030, ownership of the gas turbine generators and heat recovery steam generators will transfer to Suncor.
The acquisition of the Poplar Creek cogeneration facilities is consistent with Suncors strategy of integrating related assets with its base operations to enhance reliability and efficiency.
TransAlta will acquire the 20 MW Kent Breeze wind power facility located near Thamesville, Ontario as well as Suncors 51 per cent interest in the 88 MW Wintering Hills wind power facility located near Drumheller, Alberta.
Once the transaction has closed, Suncors renewable energy portfolio will include five operational wind power projects, one project in development and Canadas largest ethanol production facility.
The transaction will be subject to closing conditions including regulatory approval under the Competition Act. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2015.

All forward-looking statements are based on Suncors current expectations, estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions based on information available at the time the statement was made and in light of Suncors experience and its perception of historical trends.
Forward-looking statements in this news release include those around the closing of the transaction with TransAlta Corporation, including the assumption that the transaction and Suncors renewable energy portfolio following the transaction will be as described.
