The Power of Water Renewable Energy
www.owa.ca The Power of Water Renewable Energy Ontario’s rivers are a precious and shared resource. They provide social, economic and environmental benefits to people and communities across the province. They contribute to our quality of life. Many working rivers produce clean, renewable electricity — and there is great potential to produce more. Waterpower will continue to play a critical role in Ontario’s energy system mix as the province increases its renewable energy supply. Realize the power of water. Renewable, Reliable, Responsive about us our mission contact us Since 2001 the Ontario Waterpower Association has been representing the common and collective interests of the waterpower industry. To date our membership has grown to over 150 organizations. Our membership includes generators, developers, engineering firms, equipment suppliers, environmental consultants, construction, legal, project financing and insurance firms, Aboriginal communities and other organizations, all sharing the common interest of advancing waterpower in Ontario. Our members look to us to provide an effective forum for coordinating, promoting and identifying the common interests of the waterpower industry in Ontario. We will: • preserve and grow value for our membership • facilitate the responsible growth and enhance the competitiveness of the industry • coordinate and promote the common interests of the membership • promote the achievement of sustainable development • build strategic relationships with: •Government • Aboriginal organizations • Industry, resource management associations, and the environmental community • be recognized as the primary source for quality information about waterpower.

By all accounts, 2013 is expected to be an important year for our industry and Association. With new leadership at the provincial level, the implementation of key budget measures at the federal level and questions remaining regarding our electricity choices moving forward, we must continue to anticipate and inform change. It is particularly timely, therefore, that our revised Strategic Plan - Powerful Potential - charts a course for the next three to five years. In 2013 we will lay the groundwork for the realization of our core objective of 12,000 MW of Made in Ontario Waterpower by 2017. Key to realizing our potential is the ongoing demonstration of our value proposition to you: A Message from the Chair Dear waterpower advocates, Our membership: who want effective leadership advocating on behalf of Ontario’s waterpower sector; We provide: strong and constructive relationships with governments, Aboriginal organizations, environmental interests and the broader energy industry; That feature: collaborative and results-oriented approaches to informing and advancing public policy affecting waterpower; Different from: other advocacy organizations that serve a wider geographic and/or technological spectrum of interests; The OWA: is specifically focused on establishing the “winning conditions” for waterpower in Ontario; As supported by: reasoned and rational responses to and leadership of legislative, regulatory and policy initiatives; And sustained by: competent and committed staff, an engaged and active Board of Directors and the expertise and experience of the members. Thanks to all members for your ongoing support and commitment to the Association. I look forward to continuing to work together in the year ahead.

Ontario Waterpower Association Directory • 2013 123 Ontario Waterpower Facts A Key to Keeping Electricity Affordable •Ontario’s existing facilities moderate provincial electricity prices. • Across Canada, the larger the percentage of electricity that comes from waterpower, the lower the residential price. • Waterpower’s durability means future generations will benefit from affordable waterpower, as we do today. An Energy-efficient Source of Electricity • The average facility converts kinetic energy to electric energy at a rate of between 75% and 95%. • A typical waterpower generating facility has a long life cycle of between 75 and 100 years. • The average energy payback ratio (energy required vs. energy produced) is by far the highest among all sources. • Relative to other sources, the production of waterpower could be considered a form of energy conservation. 124 Ontario Waterpower Association Directory • 2013 Contact Coastal Hydropower Corporation Neil Anderson, President [email protected] 4299 Entrance Avenue, Ladysmith, BC V9G 1M8 Telephone Contact (250) 245-8676 Joe Slater, Project Manager, Ontario [email protected] Project Management Company #5, 200 Brock Street, Barrie, ON L9S 4H7 Telephone Contact (403) 863-5637 Joe Prendergast, Ontario Business Development Consultant [email protected] Telephone (705) 259-1664 Website www.coastalhydropower.com Service Equipment – New Technology Description Coastal Hydropower Corporation is a private Canadian company that was founded to develop hydro facilities using new, highly efficient water turbine technologies.
