Natural Resources committee  Yes. We've been doing it for about three years, and it has been primarily focused to date on residential houses. We are going to expand the program now to micro-solar generation on more commercial buildings and residential houses. It certainly has been a successful program so far, in which we are installing the generation that actually fuels the house, right on top of the house, through solar panels.

Natural Resources committee  The reduction is approximately just over 50% relative to the traditional coal-fired generation in Alberta today. ENMAX in particular has the power purchase arrangements, which is the right to dispatch two large coal plant facilities in Alberta. So we're very familiar with the emissions profile of those plants.

Natural Resources committee  Absolutely. The idea behind the Shepard project is that the waste heat will also be used for heating processes and commercial processes. It's fairly low-temperature hot water by the time it's waste heat from a power plant. But the idea there is that by utilizing this waste heat in facilities that are geographically around the power plant, those facilities don't have to burn their own source of natural gas or other fuel to generate heat in their buildings.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, for the invitation to speak. Today I will be speaking specifically about innovation in the electricity sector. ENMAX is a for-profit corporation wholly owned by the City of Calgary. We are in three core businesses. One is the generation of electricity through the ownership of coal power purchase arrangements, natural gas, wind, and micro-generation facilities.
