To inform readers of the Corporation's future prospects, this MD&A contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws ("Forward-Looking Information"), including, but not limited to, statements relating to the anticipated completion of the Alterra Transaction and timing for such completion, sources and impact of funding of the Alterra Transaction, and strategic, operational and financial benefits and accretion expected to result from the Alterra Transaction, the Corporation and/or Alterra's power production, prospective projects, successful development, construction and financing of the projects under construction and the advanced-stage prospective projects, estimates of recoverable geothermal energy resources, business strategy, future development and growth prospects, business integration, governance, business outlook, objectives, plans and strategic priorities, and other statements that are not historical facts. Forward-Looking Information can generally be identified by the use of words such as "approximately", "may", "will", "could", "believes", "expects", "intends", "should", "plans", "potential", "project", "anticipates", "estimates", "scheduled" or "forecasts", or other comparable terminology that state that certain events will or will not occur. It represents the projections and expectations of the Corporation relating to future events or results as of the date of this MD&A.

Future-oriented financial information: Forward-Looking Information includes future-oriented financial information or financial outlook within the meaning of securities laws, such as expected production, projected revenues, projected Adjusted EBITDA, projected Free Cash Flow and estimated project costs, to inform readers of the potential financial impact of expected results, of the expected commissioning of Development Projects, of the potential financial impact of the acquisitions, of the Corporation's ability to sustain current dividends and of its ability to fund its growth. Such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Assumptions: Forward-Looking Information is based on certain key assumptions made by the Corporation, including those concerning hydrology, wind regimes, geothermal resources and solar irradiation, performance of operating facilities, project performance, economic, financial and financial market conditions, the Corporation's success in developing new facilities, expectations and assumptions concerning availability of capital resources and the timing of receipt of the requisite shareholder, court, regulatory and other third-party approvals required for the Alterra Transaction. Risks and uncertainties: Forward-Looking Information involves risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed, implied or presented by the Forward-Looking Information. These

are referred to in the Corporation's Annual Information Form in the "Risk Factors" section and include, without limitation: the ability of the Corporation to execute its strategy for building shareholder value; the risks associated with the renewable energy industry in general such as execution of strategy; ability to develop the Corporation's and Alterra's projects on time and within budget; the Corporation's ability to raise additional capital and the state of capital markets; liquidity risks related to derivative financial instruments ("Derivatives"); variability in hydrology, wind regimes and solar irradiation; delays and cost overruns in the design and construction of projects; the ability to secure new power purchase agreements or to renew any power purchase agreement on equivalent terms and conditions; health, safety and environmental risks; uncertainties surrounding the development of new facilities; obtainment of permits; performance of existing projects; equipment failure or unexpected operations and maintenance activity; interest rate fluctuations and refinancing risk; currency exchange rates; variation in merchant price of electricity; financial leverage and restrictive covenants governing current and future indebtedness; the possibility that the Corporation may not declare or pay a dividend; changes in governmental support to increase electricity to be generated from renewable sources by independent power producers; variability of installation performance and related penalties; the ability to attract new talent or to retain officers or key employees; litigation; performance of major counterparties; relationship with public utilities; social acceptance of renewable energy projects; relationships with stakeholders; equipment supply; the exposure to many different forms of taxation in various jurisdictions; changes in general economic conditions; regulatory and political risks; the ability to secure appropriate land; reliance on power purchase agreements; availability and reliability of transmission systems; foreign market growth and development risks; foreign exchange fluctuations; increases in water rental cost or changes to regulations applicable to water use; assessment of water, wind and sun resources and associated electricity production; dam failure; natural disasters and force majeure; cybersecurity; sufficiency of insurance coverage limits and exclusions; a credit rating that may not reflect the Corporation's actual performance or a lowering (downgrade) of the credit rating; potential undisclosed liabilities associated with acquisitions; integration of the facilities and projects acquired and to be acquired; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions; reliance on shared transmission and interconnection infrastructure; and the fact that revenues from the Miller Creek facility will vary based on the spot price of electricity.

Although the Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions on which Forward-Looking Information is based are reasonable under the current circumstances, readers are cautioned not to rely unduly on this Forward-Looking Information as no assurance can be given that it will prove to be correct. Forward-Looking Information contained herein is made as at the date of this MD&A and the Corporation does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any Forward-Looking Information, whether as a result of events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof, unless so required by law.

Risks inherent to the Alterra Transaction: There are also risks inherent to the Alterra Transaction, including incorrect assessments of the value of the other entity; failure to satisfy the closing conditions; exercise of termination rights by the Corporation or Alterra; failure to obtain the requisite Alterra's shareholders approval, court, regulatory and other third-party approvals, including approval by the Competition Bureau, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Federal Trade Commission and similar authorities in other jurisdictions, as well as the TSX. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Alterra Transaction will occur, or that it will occur on the terms and conditions, or at the time, contemplated in this news release. The Alterra Transaction could be modified, restructured or terminated. There can also be no assurance that the strategic, operational or financial benefits expected to result from the Alterra Transaction will be realized.

If the Alterra Transaction is not completed, and the Corporation and Alterra continue as separate entities, there are risks that the announcement of the Alterra Transaction and the dedication of substantial resources of the Corporation to the completion of the Alterra Transaction could have an impact on the Corporation's business and strategic relationships (including with future and prospective employees, customers, distributors, suppliers and partners), operating results and businesses generally, and could have a material adverse effect on the current and future operations, financial condition and prospects of the Corporation.

The Corporation is relying on certain assumptions that it believes are reasonable at this time, including assumptions as to the time required to prepare meeting materials for mailing, the timing of receipt of the shareholder, court, regulatory and other third- party approvals and the time necessary to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the Alterra Transaction. These dates may change for a number of reasons, including unforeseen delays in preparing meeting materials, inability to secure necessary regulatory or court approvals in a timely manner or the need for additional time to satisfy the conditions to the completion of the Alterra Transaction. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A concerning these times.
