FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

The following table outlines the Forward-Looking Information contained in this document, which the Corporation considers important to better inform readers about its potential financial performance, together with the principal assumptions used to derive this information and the principal risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from this information.

Principal Assumptions

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

EXPECTED PRODUCTION

For each facility, the Corporation determines a long-term average annual level of electricity production ("LTA") over the

expected life of the facility, based on engineers' studies that take into consideration a number of important factors: for

Improper assessment of water, wind and solar resources and associated electricity production

hydroelectricity, the historically observed flows of the river, the operating head, the technology employed and the reserved

aesthetic and ecological flows; for wind energy, the historical wind and meteorological conditions and turbine technology;

Variability in hydrology, wind regimes and solar irradiation resources

Equipment supply risk, including failure or unexpected operations and maintenance activity

and for solar energy, the historical solar irradiation conditions, panel technology and expected solar panel degradation.

Natural disasters and force majeure

Other factors considered include, without limitation, site topography, installed capacity, energy losses, operational features

Regulatory and political risks affecting production

and maintenance. Although production will fluctuate from year to year, over an extended period it should approach the

estimated LTA.

Variability of installation performance and related penalties

On a consolidated basis, the Corporation estimates its LTA by adding together the expected LTAs of all the Operating

Availability and reliability of transmission systems

Litigation

Facilities that it consolidates. This consolidation excludes, however, the facilities that are accounted for using the equity

method.

PROJECTED REVENUES AND PROJECTED REVENUES PROPORTIONATE

For each facility, expected annual revenues are estimated by multiplying the LTA by a price for electricity stipulated in the

PPA secured with a public utility or other creditworthy counterparty. In most cases, these PPAs stipulate a base price for

electricity produced and, in some cases, a price adjustment depending on the month, day and hour of its delivery. In most

See principal assumptions, risks and uncertainties identified under "Expected Production"

cases, PPAs also contain an annual inflation adjustment based on a portion of the Consumer Price Index. This excludes

facilities that receive revenues based on the market (or spot) price for electricity. For these facilities, expected annual

Ability to secure new PPAs or renew any PPA

On a consolidated basis, the Corporation estimates annual revenues by adding together the projected revenues of the

Operating Facilities that it consolidates. The consolidation excludes, however, the facilities that are accounted for using the

equity method.

PROJECTED ADJUSTED EBITDA

For each facility, the Corporation estimates annual operating earnings by adding (deducting) to net earnings (loss) income

The Corporation estimates Projected Free Cash Flow as projected cash flows, from operating activities before changes in

Possibility that the Corporation may not declare or pay a dividend

acquisition), realized losses or gains on derivative financial instruments used to hedge the interest rate on project-level debt

or the exchange rate on equipment purchases. The Corporation estimates the annual dividend it intends to distribute based

on the Corporation's operating results, cash flows, financial conditions, debt covenants, long-term growth prospects,

solvency test imposed under corporate law for declaration of dividends and other relevant factors.
