Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements 2 To the extent any statements made in presentation contain information that is not historical, these statements are forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, as applicable, within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and under Canadian securities law (collectively “forward-looking statements”). These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things: Atlantic Power Corporation’s (“AT”, “Atlantic Power” or the “Company”) expectations regarding the outcome of recontracting discussions related to certain projects; expectations regarding project cash flows; expectations regarding the completion of construction at the Piedmont project and expected date for commercial operation thereof; expectations regarding growth, acquisitions and leverage related to such acquisitions; expectations regarding the availability of tax equity investments; and outlook on growth at Atlantic Power. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as “should,” “intend,” “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “target,” “potential” and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Although AT believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not or the times at or by which such performance or results will be achieved, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Certain material factors or assumptions are applied in making forward-looking statements which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, third party projections of regional fuel and electric capacity and energy prices or cash flows that are based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action as well as factors and assumptions set out below. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these expectations include, among other things: (i) the availability to AT of investment and acquisition opportunities; (ii) Atlantic Power’s access to capital and the state of the capital markets; (iii) the amount of distributions expected to be received from the company’s projects; (iv) the amount of dividends expected to be paid by AT in 2013; (v) the ability of the Company to syndicate its tax equity investment at Canadian Hills; (vi) the other risk factors relating to the Company and the power industry, as detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators. Additional information about these factors and about the material factors or assumptions underlying such forward-looking statements may be found in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, under the section entitled “Risk Factors”. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this communication and, except as expressly required by applicable law, AT assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances. All amounts in this presentation are in US$ unless otherwise stated and all amounts are approximate. There are non-GAAP measures used in this communication, including Project Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Available for Distribution and Payout Ratio. Atlantic Power believes that such non-GAAP measures are appropriate measures of the operating performance of Atlantic Power. Atlantic Power’s calculation of these measures may differ from the methodology used by other issuers and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other issuers. Project Adjusted EBITDA is defined as project income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges) and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. Project Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Management uses Project Adjusted EBITDA at the Project-level to provide comparative information about project performance. A reconciliation of Project Adjusted EBITDA to Project Income is provided on slide 34. A reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Cash Available for Distribution is provided on slide 33. Investors are cautioned that the Company may calculate this measure in a manner that is different from other issuers. The Company has not reconciled non-GAAP financial measures relating to the Projects Held for Sale to the directly comparable GAAP measures due to the difficulty in making the relevant adjustments on an individual project basis. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, due primarily to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, as not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation is available to the Company without unreasonable efforts.

Accordingly, the revenues, project (loss) and Project Adjusted EBITDA of these assets have been classified as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, which means that the results from these discontinued operations are excluded from these figures. Project income (loss) attributable to the Projects Held for Sale was $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $39.0 million for the same period in 2011. Project Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Projects Held for Sale was $106.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $100.4 million for the same period in 2011. The Company has not reconciled non-GAAP financial measures relating to the Projects Held for Sale to the directly comparable GAAP measures due to the difficulty in making the relevant adjustments on an individual project basis. Note: Project Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Available for Distribution and Payout Ratio are not recognized measures under GAAP and do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; therefore, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Regulation G Disclosures Project Adjusted EBITDA is defined as project income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges) and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. Project Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Management uses Project Adjusted EBITDA at the Project-level to provide comparative information about project performance. A reconciliation of Project Adjusted EBITDA to project income is provided below. Investors are cautioned that the Company may calculate this measure in a manner that is different from other issuers. Cash Available for Distribution and Payout Ratio are not a measures recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Management believes Cash Available for Distribution is a relevant supplemental measure of the Company's ability to earn and distribute cash returns to investors. A reconciliation of Cash Flows from Operating Activities to Cash Available for Distributions is provided below. Investors are cautioned that the Company may calculate this measure in a manner that is different from other companies. 33 (Unaudited) Years ended Dec 31, 2012 2011 2010 Project Adjusted EBITDA $225,570 $84,911 $53,915 Depreciation and amortization 164,958 55,608 25,493 Interest expense, net 24,122 15,178 9,613 Change in the fair value of derivative instruments 56,579 17,152 321 Other (income) expense 11,819 2,416 3,642 Project income (loss) $(31,908) $(5,443) $14,846 Administrative and other expenses (income) 112,954 77,479 26,810 Income tax expense (benefit) (28,083) (11,104) 16,018 Income from discontinued operations, net of tax 16,459 36,117 24,127 Net loss $(100,320) $(35,641) $(3,855) Adjustments to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities 264,709 103,842 83,851 Change in other operating balances 2,689 (12,266) 6,957 Cash provided by operating activities $167,078 $55,935 $86,953 Project-level debt repayments (19,574) (21,589) (18,882) Purchases of property, plant and equipment (1) (2,902) (2,035) (2,549) Transaction costs (2) - 33,402 - Realized foreign currency losses on hedges associated with the Partnership transaction (3) - 16,492 - Dividends on preferred shares of a subsidiary company (13,049) (3,247) - Cash Available for Distribution (4) $131,553 $78,958 $65,522 Total cash dividends declared to shareholders 131,832 86,357 65,648 Payout Ratio 100% 109% 100% (1) Excludes construction-in-progress costs related to our Piedmont biomass project and construction costs for our completed Canadian Hills project; (2) Represents costs incurred associated with the Partnership acquisition.; (3) Represents realized foreign currency losses associated with foreign exchange forwards entered into in order to hedge a portion of the foreign currency exchange risks associated with the closing of the Partnership acquisition; (4) Cash Available for Distribution is not a recognized measure under GAAP and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP.
