• | higher earnings from Bruce Power from higher volumes as a result of fewer outage days at Bruce A partially offset by lower Bruce B volumes due to increased planned outage days |
• | higher uncontracted volumes on the Keystone Pipeline System |
• | higher earnings from Eastern Power due to incremental earnings from Ontario solar facilities acquired in the second half of 2014 and higher earnings at Cartier Wind |
• | higher earnings from Canadian Pipelines due to incentive earnings recorded for the Canadian Mainline and a higher average investment base on NGTL partially offset by lower Canadian Mainline ROE |
• | lower earnings from U.S. Power mainly due to the timing of earnings recognized on certain contracts in our power marketing business, reflecting the different pricing profiles between the power prices we charge our customers and the prices we pay for volumes purchased |
• | lower earnings from Western Power as a result of lower realized power prices and lower PPA volumes |
• | higher interest expense from new debt issuances and higher foreign exchange on interest related to U.S. dollar-denominated debt. |
• | higher uncontracted volumes on the Keystone Pipeline System |
• | higher earnings from Eastern Power due to the sale of unused natural gas transportation, higher contractual earnings at Bécancour and incremental earnings from Ontario solar facilities acquired in the second half of 2014 |
• | higher earnings from Bruce Power from increased volumes as a result of fewer outage days at Bruce A, partially offset by lower Bruce B volumes due to increased planned outage days |
• | higher earnings from U.S. and International Pipelines due to increased earnings from the Tamazunchale Extension which was placed in service in 2014, higher ANR Southeast transportation revenue and ANR's first quarter 2015 settlement with a producer for damages to ANR's pipeline. These were partially offset by increased spending on pipeline integrity work |
• | higher earnings from U.S. Power mainly due to increased margins on and higher sales volumes to wholesale, commercial and industrial customers partially offset by lower earnings from U.S. generating assets primarily due to the impact of lower realized power prices |
• | lower earnings from Western Power as a result of lower realized power prices and lower PPA volumes |
• | higher interest expense from debt issuances and higher foreign exchange on interest related to U.S. dollar-denominated debt. |

• | higher earnings from Bruce Power from higher volumes as a result of fewer outage days at Bruce A, partially offset by lower Bruce B volumes due to increased planned outage days |
• | higher earnings from Eastern Power due to incremental earnings from Ontario solar facilities acquired in the second half of 2014 and higher earnings at Cartier Wind |
• | lower earnings from U.S. Power mainly due to the timing of earnings recognized on certain contracts in our power marketing business, reflecting the different pricing profiles between the power prices we charge our customers and the prices we pay for volumes purchased |
• | lower earnings from Western Power as a result of lower realized power prices and lower PPA volumes. |
• | higher earnings from Eastern Power due to the sale of unused natural gas transportation, higher contractual earnings at Bécancour and incremental earnings from Ontario solar facilities acquired in 2014 |
• | higher earnings from Bruce Power from increased volumes as a result of fewer outage days at Bruce A partially offset by lower Bruce B volumes due to increased planned outage days |
• | higher earnings from U.S. Power mainly due to increased margins and higher sales volumes to wholesale, commercial and industrial customers primarily offset by lower earnings on U.S. generating assets primarily due to the impact of lower realized power prices |
• | lower earnings from Western Power as a result of lower realized power prices and lower PPA volumes |

2 | For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, net realized gains on fair value hedges were $2 million and $4 million, respectively, (2014 - gains of $2 million and $3 million, respectively) and were included in interest expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we did not record any amounts in net income related to ineffectiveness for fair value hedges. |
3 | The effective portion of the change in fair value of derivative instruments in hedging relationships is initially recognized in OCI and reclassified to energy revenues, interest expense and interest income and other expense as appropriate, as the original hedged item settles. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, there were no gains or losses included in net income relating to discontinued cash flow hedges where it was probable that the anticipated transaction would not occur. |

Levels | How fair value has been determined |
Level I | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
Level II | Valuation based on the extrapolation of inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level I, for which all significant inputs are observable directly or indirectly. Inputs include published exchange rates, interest rates, interest rate swap curves, yield curves and broker quotes from external data service providers. This category includes interest rate and foreign exchange derivative assets and liabilities where fair value is determined using the income approach and power and natural gas commodity derivatives where fair value is determined using the market approach. Transfers between Level I and Level II would occur when there is a change in market circumstances. |
Level III | Valuation of assets and liabilities are measured using a market approach based on extrapolation of inputs that are unobservable or where observable data does not support a significant portion of the derivatives fair value. This category includes long-dated commodity transactions in certain markets where liquidity is low and inputs may include long-term broker quotes. Long-term electricity prices may also be estimated using a third-party modeling tool which takes into account physical operating characteristics of generation facilities in the markets in which the Company operates. Model inputs include market fundamentals such as fuel prices, power supply additions and retirements, power demand, seasonal hydro conditions and transmission constraints. Long-term North American natural gas prices might be estimated on a view of future natural gas supply and demand, as well as exploration and development costs. Significant decreases in fuel prices or demand for electricity or natural gas, or increases in the supply of electricity or natural gas, small number of transactions in markets with lower liquidity are expected to or may result in a lower fair value measurement of contracts included in Level III. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value can fluctuate between Level II and Level III depending on the proportion of the value of the contract that extends beyond the time frame for which significant inputs are considered to be observable. As contracts near maturity and observable market data becomes available, they are transferred out of Level III and into Level II. |

QuarterlyReport to Shareholders | ||
• | Second quarter financial results |
• | PRGT reached a significant milestone when PNW LNG announced a positive FID, subject to two conditions, for their proposed liquefaction and export facility on the West Coast of B.C. |
• | Received a majority of the pipeline and facilities permits for PRGT and Coastal GasLink |
• | Received regulatory approval for the $1.7 billion North Montney Mainline project |
• | Continued to advance our master limited partnership strategy with the drop down of the remaining 30 per cent interest in Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN) for US$457 million |
• | Completed over $1.5 billion of financing with the issuance of junior subordinated and medium-term notes |
• | NGTL System Expansions: The NGTL System has approximately $6.8 billion of new supply and demand facilities currently under development. In second quarter 2015, we continued to advance several of these capital expansion projects and plan to file additional facilities applications for this program through the remainder of 2015. We have received additional requests for firm receipt service that we anticipate will increase the overall capital spend on the NGTL System beyond the previously announced program and continue to work with our customers to best match their requirements for 2016, 2017 and 2018 in-service dates. |
• | Canadian Mainline: On March 31, 2015, we submitted a compliance toll filing in response to direction from the NEB’s RH-001-2014 Decision issued in November 2014. On June 12, 2015, the NEB approved the applied-for compliance tolls, as filed. These final tolls became effective on July 1, 2015 which allowed, among other things, the recording of incentive earnings as approved by the NEB. |
• | PRGT: In second quarter 2015, we received six of the eleven pipeline and facilities permits from the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission (BC OGC) needed to build and operate PRGT. We anticipate decisions on the remaining BC OGC permits in third quarter 2015. PRGT is a 900 km (559 mile) natural gas pipeline that will deliver gas from the North Montney producing region near Fort St. John, B.C. at an interconnect on the NGTL System to the proposed PNW LNG facility near Prince Rupert, B.C. |
• | Coastal GasLink: We have received eight of ten pipeline and facilities permits from the BC OGC and anticipate receiving the remaining two permits in third quarter 2015. We are continuing our engagement with Aboriginal groups along the pipeline route and on June 29, 2015 we announced the signing of project agreements with Wet’suwet’en First Nation, Skin Tyee Nation, Nee-Tahi-Buhn Band, Yekooche First Nation, Doig River First Nation and Halfway River First Nation, all of northern B.C. |
• | GTN Drop Down: On April 1, 2015, we closed the sale of our remaining 30 per cent interest in GTN to our master limited partnership, TC PipeLines, LP (the Partnership). The US$457 million sale, which included a US$11 million purchase price adjustment, was comprised of US$264 million in cash, the assumption of US$98 million in proportional GTN debt and the issuance of US$95 million of new Class B units to TransCanada.

• | Alberta Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions: On June 25, 2015, the Alberta government announced a renewal and change to the Specified Gas Emitters Regulations (SGER) in Alberta. Since 2007 under the SGER, established industrial facilities with GHG emissions above a certain threshold are required to reduce their emissions by 12 per cent below an average intensity baseline and a carbon levy of $15 per tonne is placed on emissions above this target. The changed regulations include an increase in the emissions reductions target to 15 per cent in 2016 and 20 per cent in 2017, along with an increase in the carbon levy to $20 per tonne in 2016 and $30 per tonne in 2017.
