Our Company
Atlantic Power, a corporation continued under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, is an independent power producer that owns power generation assets in eleven states in the United States and two provinces in Canada. We were incorporated in 2004 under the laws of Ontario and continued to British Columbia in 2005. Our power generation projects, which are diversified by geography, fuel type, dispatch profile and offtaker, sell electricity to utilities and other large customers predominantly under long-term power purchase agreements (“PPAs”), which seek to minimize exposure to changes in commodity prices.
Our common shares trade on the TSX under the symbol “ATP” and on the NYSE under the symbol “AT.”
Our registered office is located at 215-10451 Shellbridge Way, Richmond, British Columbia, Canada V6X 2W8 and our headquarters is located at 3 Allied Drive, Suite 155, Dedham, Massachusetts 02026 USA.
