As the major utilities are primarily provincial power authorities, that amounts to guaranteed contracts for renewable energy developers and generators. And not only are contracts backed by the full support of taxpayers, but they typically guarantee premium rates and recovery of any change in costs. Some - particularly in solar and wind - actually guarantee payment even if conditions inhibit a full generation.
After it completes its acquisition of Capital Power LP,Atlantic Power Corp. (AT) will hold several valuable projects. Management plans to follow up with more, particularly in hydro-rich British Columbia.
