Washington (Platts)--10Apr2009

The city of Calgary, Alberta, has reworked a power supply deal with
Enmax Energy to increase the proportion of electricity it receives from
renewable sources, it said.

Under the revamped deal, instead of obtaining 90% of its power from
renewable sources in 2012, Calgary will now receive all of its power from
renewable resources beginning in that year, it said.

"This is a landmark agreement and demonstrates our global leadership in
reducing the impact of electricity generation on the environment," Mayor
Dave Bronconnier said in a statement. "We are absolutely committed to reducing
Calgary's ecological footprint and this is one of the key strategies to
achieve that goal."

The agreement also supports the city's Climate Change Action Plan Target
Minus 50, which seeks to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 50% of 1990
levels by 2012, it said.

By 2012, emissions from city-owned facilities and equipment are projected
to be about 170,000 metric tons/year, compared with about 460,000 mt in 1990,
a reduction of 63%, it added.

City electricity use was about 400,000 MWh in 2008.

Enmax Energy is owned by the city.
