2 Enron Canada - Profile Enron Canada is responsible for Enron’s activities in the Canadian energy sector, particularly gas and electricity trading, marketing and finance. Enron Canada was established in Calgary in 1991 to trade and market natural gas, and currently trades over 6 bcf of gas per day in Canada. Enron Canada Gas Volumes (MMcf/d) Enron Canada has offices in both Calgary and Toronto and employs over 115 people (96 in Calgary alone and 20 in Toronto and Montreal combined).

3 Enron Canada - Profile As indicated in the Risk Advisory survey below, Enron Canada is viewed as a leading provider of portfolio management services in the Canadian energy sector. Risk Advisory’s 1999 Survey Polled Over Eighty Canadian Natural Gas Producers, Industrials, and Local Distribution Companies.

4 Enron Canada - Profile Enron Canada’s Calgary office has also been actively involved in Alberta’s electricity market, recently investing over CAD $300 million for the power generated over the next 20 years from a 706-megawatt power plant. In 1995, Enron Canada established an office in Toronto in anticipation of and to participate in the deregulation of the Ontario electricity market. Enron Canada has been a very active participant in the restructuring of the Ontario electricity market. Enron Canada was represented on the Market Design Committee and is presently represented on the Board of Directors and Technical Panel of the IMO. Enron Canada Corp. is currently seeking an investor for up to 100% of the investment in the Moore Power Project (“Moore Project”), a peaking power generation facility to be constructed in southwestern Ontario. Although the project is currently on hold pending the resolution of an Ontario market-opening date, Enron Canada Corp. is also reviewing the option to retain and/or further develop the project. The Moore Project is a 166 MW ISO permitted simple cycle natural gas fired merchant plant, sized for expansion to 470 MW simple cycle with interconnections into both Ontario and Michigan. The plant has further potential for future conversion to combined cycle operation. The Moore Project will be constructed south of Sarnia, Ontario. The plant will initially have a 200 MW interconnect to the Ontario 230 kV grid and a 470 MW interconnect to the Michigan 120 kV grid.

5 Enron Canada - Profile The Ontario Electricity Financial Corporation (OEFC) has also recently awarded Enron Canada the responsibility of assisting OEFC in the management of the Non-Utility Generation (NUG) contracts (Ontario parlance for “QF contracts”) formerly held by Ontario Hydro. NUG contracts under administration account for more than 1,600 MW of the supply in Ontario and $750 million in cash flow per year. Enron Canada has undertaken a major expansion of its Toronto office over the past year. It has invested and is continuing to invest heavily in the development of the information and business systems which Enron and its customers will need in the new Ontario marketplace.
