Electric Power Generation Capacity

Electric power generation capacity owned by FDI-affiliate companies increased in 2005, with FDI affiliates of five companies adding substantial capacity, although affiliates of two companies reduced capacity.   Affiliates of EPCOR Utilities (Canada) had the largest increase in generating capacity, all of which stemmed from its purchase of a controlling interest in TransCanada Power, a limited partnership renamed EPCOR Power, from TransCanada.  Brookfield Asset Management (Canada) acquired four hydroelectric generating stations in the United States, and, along with Emera (Canada), a pumped storage hydroelectric generating station in Massachusetts, while affiliates of SUEZ (France) brought online the first of two planned units of a 746-megawatt natural-gas-fired plant in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  TransCanada, although it sold its controlling interest in TransCanada Power, increased its U.S. capacity by buying 567 megawatts of hydroelectric generating capacity in New England from National Energy & Gas Transmission.[1]  The largest decline in capacity was at a non-regulated affiliate of E.On (Germany), which sold its share of a generating plant in Texas, as E.On affiliates began exiting the non-regulated generation businesses in the United States.
