for decades, with FCF growth and opportunities to outperform through higher availability from more

efficient execution.

Disciplined Bruce C Plan: TRP expressed growing confidence in sanctioning Bruce C (up to 4.8

GW of new capacity at the existing site). The expansion project has already secured C$375mn of

government funding, has strong local buy-in, and is advancing through impact assessment and

2034-45. Importantly, mgmt stressed that FID will not be made until there is a fully-complete design,

an acceptable risk-sharing framework and competitive returns on and of capital are secured. A

rate-regulated agreement could also have the benefit of capex being recovered during construction
