Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 2 To the extent any statements made in this 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). 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 Atlantic Power Corporation (AT, Atlantic Power or the Company) believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and 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. Please refer to the factors discussed under Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Information in the Companys periodic reports as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time for a detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, including, without limitation, the outcome or impact of the Companys business strategy to increase the intrinsic value of the Company on a per-share basis through disciplined management of its balance sheet and cost structure and investment of its discretionary cash in a combination of organic and external growth projects, acquisitions, and repurchases of debt and equity securities; the Companys ability to enter into new PPAs on favorable terms or at all after the expiration of existing agreements, and the outcome or impact on the Companys business of any such actions. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what are believed to be reasonable assumptions, investors cannot be assured that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements, and the differences may be material. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this news release and, except as expressly required by applicable law, the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances. The Companys ability to achieve its longer-term goals, including those described in this news release, is based on significant assumptions relating to and including, among other things, the general conditions of the markets in which it operates, revenues, internal and external growth opportunities, its ability to sell assets at favorable prices or at all and general financial market and interest rate conditions. The Companys actual results may differ, possibly materially and adversely, from these goals. Disclaimer Non-GAAP Measures Project Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Investors are cautioned that the Company may calculate this non-GAAP measure in a manner that is different from other companies. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is Project income (loss). Project Adjusted EBITDA is defined as project income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges), and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments. Management uses Project Adjusted EBITDA at the project level to provide comparative information about project performance and believes such information is helpful to investors. A reconciliation of Project Adjusted EBITDA to Project income (loss) and to Net income (loss) by segment and on a consolidated basis is provided on slides 40 and 41. Cash Distributions from Projects is the amount of cash distributed by the projects to the Company out of available project cash flow after all project-level operating costs, interest payments, principal repayment, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. It is not a non-GAAP measure. Project Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is the most comparable measure, but it is before debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The Company has provided a bridge of Project Adjusted EBITDA to Cash Distributions from Projects on slides 37 and 38. All amounts in this presentation are in US$ and approximate unless otherwise stated.
3 Q4 and Full Year 2017 2017 Highlights and 2018 Outlook Operations Review Commercial Review / PPAs Financial Results 2018 Guidance Liquidity and Balance Sheet Update Q&A Agenda
2017 Highlights and Recent Developments 4 Financial Results Costs Capital Allocation In current market environment, debt reduction and equity repurchases offer higher returns than acquisitions Elected to retain ownership of Piedmont and pay off debt early Also undertook modest repurchases of common and preferred shares Maintained overhead costs in line with 2016 level (down ~60% from 2013) Project Adjusted EBITDA exceeded Companys 2017 guidance range Cash provided by operating activities also was better than the Companys estimate Ended the year with $198 million of liquidity Balance Sheet Reduced risk by paying down $166 million of debt Significant reduction in leverage ratio to 3.3 times (though will increase in 2018) Improved debt maturity profile by redeeming Piedmont (2018 maturity) and most of 2019 convertible debenture maturities Reduced cash interest payments; reduced spread on revolver by 150 bp to 350 bp
2017 Highlights and Recent Developments (continued) 5 PPAs Despite challenging power market environment, executed new contracts for Nipigon, Williams Lake and three projects in San Diego Long-term Enhanced Dispatch Contract for Nipigon has favorable economics vs. PPA Short-term extension for Williams Lake; bridge to possible longer-term contract in 2019 Site control for the three San Diego projects remains the key hurdle; challenging path Launched initiative to repurpose mothballed Ontario sites if feasible (North Bay and Kapuskasing) Growth Most of our discretionary capital allocation in 2017 focused on debt repayment, equity repurchases and internal uses (better returns) Ongoing Combined Heat and Power (CHP) development strategy; long lead time Difficult market for acquisitions (poor risk/reward) Taking opportunistic approach to contracted assets where we have expertise Allocating more resources to this effort Operations Implementing best practices across fleet Estimated fuel cost savings of approximately $3 million in 2017 as a result of heat rate and equipment improvements Completed permit requirements for Tunis restart; targeting third quarter 2018
Outlook for 2018 and Beyond 6 Initiated 2018 Guidance Capital Allocation Balance Sheet and Credit Profile Still expect to repay approximately $100 million of debt in 2018, and a total of $450 million in 2018 through 2022 Higher leverage ratio in 2018 (lower EBITDA), but expected to decline in 2019 and beyond Stable liquidity Approximately $40 million of discretionary cash Continue disciplined, rational approach to capital allocation NCIB in place and other purchase options available to consider open market repurchases of securities, including common shares, convertible debentures and preferred shares Lower Project Adjusted EBITDA and operating cash flow - Mostly reflects impact of expiring PPAs (or extensions on lower terms) and non-recurrence of OEFC settlement Costs Remain focused on improvements where possible, at both corporate and operating levels Operations team has identified $2 million of recurring maintenance cost savings for 2018 Also eliminated another $2 million of planned maintenance spend from future periods Other modest cost reductions (rent)
Outlook for 2018 and Beyond (continued) 7 PPAs Average remaining PPA life of approximately seven years Most of the Project Adjusted EBITDA impact from PPA expirations through 2021 occurs in 2018 Approximately two-thirds of 2018 estimated Project Adjusted EBITDA is from projects under PPAs that expire after 2022 Even with declining EBITDA, PPAs provide significant cash flow available for capital allocation Expect to achieve net debt level of approximately zero by about 2025 Growth Patient and disciplined approach as markets remain fully valued Focused on earning in excess of our cost of capital without taking on undue risk Valuation Intrinsic value framework (NPV of future cash flows) Range of values depending on estimates of various outcomes (not a point forecast) Generally assume modest recovery in the level of power prices Believe hydro assets have strong value post-PPA Recontracting potential for some gas plants and option value on other plants Current share price represents a significant discount to our base case estimates of intrinsic value

Tax Update NOL Expiration by Year (As of 12/31/17 $ millions) 2027 $12.1 2028 60.3 2029 63.8 2030 25.8 2031 13.4 2032 25.3 2033 153.0 2034 167.8 2035 17.0 2036 37.6 2037 16.1 Total $592.2 As of December 31, 2017, the Company had U.S. and Canadian NOLs scheduled to expire per the schedule (right) that can be utilized to offset future taxable income in their respective tax jurisdictions. NOLs represent potential future tax savings of approximately $130.4 million in the U.S. under the revised U.S. Federal corporate tax rate of 21% and $27.3 million in Canada. Although these NOLs are expected to be available as a future benefit: Some of the NOLs are subject to limitations on their use. Pre-Tax Reform NOLs, as detailed in the chart, can be used to offset 100% of taxable income and retains a 2-year carryback and a 20-year carry forward period. Post-Tax Reform NOLs are limited to offset 80% of taxable income, have no carryback feature but have an unlimited carry forward period. Net Operating Losses Other Impacts of Recent U.S. Tax Legislation The Company will save cash taxes with Alternative Minimum Tax AMT having been repealed. The Company has a de minimis amount of AMT credits which are 50% refundable in 2018-2021 and any remaining credits are fully refundable in 2022. Business Interest Expense Limitation Net business interest deductions in excess of 30% EBITDA (EBIT after 2021) will be disallowed. However, disallowed interest deductions will be carried forward indefinitely to be used at a future date. The Company estimates interest expense of approximately $16 million and $1 million will be disallowed in 2018 and 2019, respectively. The disallowed expense will be carried forward and utilized in 2019 and 2020. The Company does not anticipate paying any Federal cash taxes in either the U.S. or Canada in 2018 or 2019. 21

APLP Holdings Term Loan Cash Sweep Calculation 28 APLP Holdings Adjusted EBITDA (note: excludes Piedmont; is after majority of Atlantic Power G&A expense) Less: Capital expenditures Cash taxes = Cash flow available for debt service Less: APLP Holdings consolidated cash interest (revolver, term loan, MTNs, EPP, Cadillac) = Cash flow available for cash sweep Calculate 50% of cash flow available for sweep Compare 50% cash flow sweep to amount required to achieve targeted debt balance Must repay greater of 50% or the amount required to achieve targeted debt balance for that quarter If targeted debt balance is > 50% of cash flow sweep: Repay amount required to achieve target, up to 100% of cash flow available from sweep Remaining amount, if any, to Company If targeted debt balance is < 50% of cash flow sweep: Repay 50% minimum Remaining 50% to Company Expect cash sweep to average 65% to 70% over the life of the loan, though higher in early years, and with considerable variability from year to year Expect > 80% of principal to be repaid by maturity through mandatory and targeted repayments Notes: The cash sweep calculation occurs at each quarter-end. Targeted debt balances are specified in the credit agreement for each quarter through maturity.
APLP Holdings Credit Facilities Financial Covenants 29 Leverage ratio: Consolidated debt to Adjusted EBITDA, calculated for the trailing four quarters. Consolidated debt includes both long-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt at APLP Holdings, specifically the amount outstanding under the term loan and the amount borrowed under the revolver, if any, the Medium Term Notes, and consolidated project debt (Epsilon Power Partners and Cadillac). Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the Consolidated Net Income of APLP Holdings plus the sum of consolidated interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and other non-cash charges, minus non-cash gains. The Consolidated Net Income includes an allocation of the majority of Atlantic Power G&A expense. It also excludes earnings attributable to equity-owned projects but includes cash distributions received from those projects. Interest Coverage ratio: Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated cash interest payments, calculated for the trailing four quarters. Adjusted EBITDA is defined above. Consolidated cash interest payments include interest payments on the debt included in the Consolidated debt ratio defined above. Note, the project debt, Project Adjusted EBITDA and cash interest expense for Piedmont are not included in the calculation of these ratios because the project is not included in the collateral package for the credit facilities.

Non-GAAP Disclosures Project Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP, and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Investors are cautioned that the Company may calculate this non-GAAP measure in a manner that is different from other companies. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is Project income (loss). Project Adjusted EBITDA is defined as project income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (including non-cash impairment charges) and changes in the fair value of derivative instruments. Management uses Project Adjusted EBITDA at the project level to provide comparative information about project performance and believes such information is helpful to investors. A reconciliation of Project Adjusted EBITDA to Project income (loss) and to Net income (loss) by segment and on a consolidated basis is provided on slides 40 and 41. Cash Distributions from Projects is the amount of cash distributed by the projects to the Company out of available project cash flow after all project-level operating costs, interest payments, principal repayment, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. It is not a non-GAAP measure. Project Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is the most comparable measure, but it is before debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. The Company has provided a bridge of Project Adjusted EBITDA to Cash Distributions from Projects on slides 37 and 38. Investors are cautioned that the Company may calculate these measures in a manner that is different from other companies. 39 $ millions, unaudited Three months ended December 31, Twelve months ended December 31, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Net loss attributable to Atlantic Power Corporation ($41.1) ($6.6) ($98.6) ($122.4) Net income attributable to preferred share dividends of a subsidiary company 2.2 2.2 5.6 8.5 Net loss ($38.9) ($4.4) ($93.0) ($113.9) Income tax benefit (19.7) (0.4) (58.1) (14.6) Loss from operations before income taxes (58.6) (4.8) (151.1) (128.5) Administration 6.0 5.0 23.6 22.6 Interest expense, net 14.7 18.1 64.2 106.0 Foreign exchange (gain) loss (1.4) (5.1) 16.3 13.9 Other income, net (0.4) - (0.4) (3.9) Project (loss) income ($39.7) $13.3 ($47.4) $10.1 Reconciliation to Project Adjusted EBITDA Depreciation and amortization $27.6 $42.7 $133.2 $133.5 Interest expense, net 11.2 2.7 19.2 10.9 Change in the fair value of derivative instruments (7.9) (17.8) (2.1) (37.9) Other income, net (58.8) 0.2 (1.2) (0.3) Impairment 129.8 1.2 187.1 85.9 Project Adjusted EBITDA $62.2 $42.3 $288.8 $202.2
