a) TransAlta Finds EUB Ruling Unacceptable
CALGARY, Alberta -- In its recent decision, the Alberta Energy and Utilities
Board (EUB) handed TransAlta the lowest rate of return set by any regulator in
the country. The decision establishes the rate of return at 9¼ per cent for
TransAlta's regulated operations in 1999 and 2000.

b) Hydro-Québec ends first nine months of 1999 with consolidated net income of
$505 million
The first nine months of 1999 ended with consolidated net income of $505
million, up $174 million from September 30, 1998. This progression stemmed
mainly from the strong growth of the Québec economy since the beginning of the
year as well as from a return to more normal weather conditions in comparison
with 1998.

DON'T MISS THIS FORUM!
The Canadian Electricity Forum is pleased to offer a comprehensive and timely
look at the emerging field of cogeneration and distributed generation. This
Forum, our 8th on this developing technology, will bring together industrial
power consumers, power utilities, manufacturers, regulators and cogeneration
developers for a survey of the technological drivers behind this evolving field.
Our Forum will review recent progress in the development and application of
cogeneration technologies, with particular emphasis on the problems and
opportunities ahead for the adoption, use and integration of these systems into
the present power supply infrastructure. We offer you 13 quality presentations,
an in-depth workshop, and exhibits. At The Canadian Electricity Forum, we
realize that your time is valuable, and we've worked hard to ensure that your
Forum experience will make you glad you came.
