• Key take-aways:o Exports from Canada rose 8% over 2012. U.S. exports remained even.
o 2013 continued the recent trend of increased exports from Canada.
o Most trading is transacted through the spot market (in 2013, 75%+). Long-term contracts represent <25% (and continue to decline).
o Historically, Canada has been a net exporter (exports = 5-10% of generation).

Great Northern Transmission Line• Apr. 16, 2014 – Minnesota Power applies for state and federal permits
for U.S. segment of new interconnection with Manitoba.
• Project being developed in partnership with Manitoba Hydro.
• 500 kV line from border to Iron Range; 750 MW transfer capacity.
• “Hydro by wire” from Manitoba enables “wind by wire” from North Dakota.
• Further diversifies Minnesota Power’s energy mix.
• Hydropower’s “load-following” capability and the unique “wind storage” provision add value to both wind and water assets.
• Overall project (energy + transmission line) enhances regional reliability and provides energy market benefits.
• Public engagement is ongoing for Manitoba’s segment of the line.

2. CEA Policy Initiatives & Engagements – Recent Highlights
Page 44
Vision 2050: The Future of Canada’s Electricity System• Sheds light on the urgent need for informed decision-making –
in policy development and infrastructure investment – if Canada is to maintain a reliable, sustainable and affordable system.
• Frames context for decisions about electricity, including drivers of change, in next 5-10 years.
• Offers recommendations in areas most likely to produce the greatest transformations:o Accelerating innovation and customer management.
o Implementing financial instruments for CO2 reduction.
o Enabling electric vehicles.
o Expanding collaboration across borders.
• Serves as basis for all CEA work going forward.
![Page 45: Board of Trustees Meeting - NERC highlights and Mintues... · • Execution in 2014 Triage and other process clarifications underway Reliability Leadership Summit scheduled Risk and](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042910/5f3eb636026fd077ed1dcc41/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Page 45
EPA GHG Guidelines, Quadrennial Energy Review• CEA is engaging in both initiatives. Similar key messages:
o Both should recognize & seek to expand benefits of U.S.-Canada integration:
Enhanced reliability and affordability; and
Reduced emissions (thru access to & support for low-carbon resources).
o More integration will help maximize North America’s clean energy potential.
• CEA appreciates the N. American scope to NERC’s QER comments.
Bipartisan Policy Center Cyber Security Report• Offers recommendations in four areas:
o Standards and best practices; info sharing; respondingto a cyber attack; and paying for cybersecurity.
• CEA participated in advisory board.
• Report’s ideas are thoughtful; a few, contentious.
![Page 46: Board of Trustees Meeting - NERC highlights and Mintues... · • Execution in 2014 Triage and other process clarifications underway Reliability Leadership Summit scheduled Risk and](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042910/5f3eb636026fd077ed1dcc41/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
3. Comments on Major NERC Projects & Initiatives
Page 46
Physical Security Standard• CEA was concerned about language in FERC Order signaling an
active role for regulatory authorities wrt to critical facilities lists.
• Draft standard has addressed this well and alleviated concerns.
• However, challenges look set to arise with 3rd-party verification:o What exactly does “verification” mean? How will verification be audited?
o How can or should compliance be linked to activities or recommendations of a 3rd-party, which falls outside of NERC and governmental oversight?
Risk-based Registration• Registration varies across Canada. Approaches build upon/are
modelled upon NERC’s program. (See CEA policy input).
• Different approaches; same goals, focus (w/positive outcomes).
