  5. Positions in virtually every major producing basin Pipelines serve premium markets 250 Bcf of regulated natural gas storage capacity Keystone oil pipeline (in construction), expected 1.1 million Bbl/d when complete Pipeline Assets TransCanada

  6. Ownership or interests in 19 plants, including some currently under development 11,700 megawatts Diversified portfolio primarily consists of low-cost, base-load generation 120 Bcf of unregulated natural gas storage capacity in Alberta Energy Assets TransCanada

  7. Proposed Bison Pipeline • Received FERC Certificate; awaiting notice to proceed • Interstate natural gas pipeline to connect Powder River Basin to the Midwest market • 302 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline and related facilities • Expected to interconnect with Northern Border Pipeline (50% owned by TC Pipelines LP) near Compressor Station 6 in Morton County, North Dakota • Design capacity of 477 MMcf/d, expandable to 1 Bcf/d • Contracted capacity of 407 MMcf/d for 10 years • Proposed in-service date of November, 2010 TransCanada

  8. Northern Border Pipeline • General partnership of TransCanada Pipelines, LP and ONEOK Partners, LP; TransCanada Northern Border Inc. is operator • 1,249 miles of 42-inch-diameter interstate natural gas pipeline with design capacity of 2.4 Bcf/d • Key link between Western Canada Sedimentary Basin and the Midwest market • Also accesses Williston and Powder River basins in the U.S. • Potential to access Rockies supply via proposed Bison Pipeline TransCanada

  9. 30- and 36-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline Projected 1,090,000 Bbl/d capacity (including Gulf Coast expansion) 910,000 Bbl/d committed for an average term of 18 years for 83% of total capacity Includes 380,000 Bbl/d of additional contracts for U.S. Gulf Coast expansion TransCanada interest 100% Approx. US$12 billion capital investment expected between 2008 and 2012 In-service 2009 – 2012 Keystone Pipeline and Expansions TransCanada

  10. Chinook and ZephyrElectric Transmission • Separate but complementary proposed high-voltage (500 kilovolt) direct current transmission lines • Each line would carry up to 3,000 megawatts of electricity • Both lines proposed to exceed 1,000 miles • Focus is on connecting wind resources in Montana and Wyoming to growing loads in the US Southwest • The projects would make long-term, low-cost, and stable-priced generation resources available to consumers in the West • The proposed projects enhance opportunities to meet state renewable portfolio standards • Zephyr recently conducted successful open season for all 3,000 megawatts of capacity TransCanada
