<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;">Ridgeline was acquired by Atlantic Ridgeline Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, from Eolfi S.A. and Veolia Environnement S.A.&#160; The Acquisition increases the Company&#146;s ownership interest in the Rockland wind project (&#147;Rockland&#148;) to a 50% managing member interest from 30%, and adds a 12.5% interest in the 125 MW Goshen North project in addition to a 100% equity interest in the Meadow Creek wind project (&#147;Meadow Creek&#148;).&#160; The total cost of the Acquisition was $88 million, and includes the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ridgeline and the 100% equity interest in Meadow Creek, which achieved full commercial operations on December&nbsp;22, 2012.&#160; The purchase price for the Acquisition (together with working capital and acquisition expenses) was financed through a firm underwritten public offering, on a bought deal basis, of Cdn$100 million aggregate principal amount of the Debentures.&#160; In addition, the Company will consolidate approximately $205 million and $43 million of existing non-recourse project-level debt at Meadow Creek and Rockland, respectively, with approximately $55 million of current Meadow Creek debt to be repaid with a U.S. stimulus grant in the first quarter of 2013.</font></p>

A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed under &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in the filings the Company makes from time to time with the SEC and Canadian securities regulators.&#160; The Company&#146;s business is both</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS &#150; January&nbsp;2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ Atlantic Power Corporation (NYSE: AT) (TSX: ATP) (&#147;Atlantic Power&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) announced that on December&nbsp;31, 2012, it closed its previously announced acquisition of Ridgeline Energy Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;Ridgeline&#148;).&#160; Upon closing, the maturity date of the Company&#146;s 6.00% series D extendible convertible unsecured subordinated debentures (the &#147;Debentures&#148;) (TSX: ATP.DB.D) was automatically extended to December&nbsp;31, 2019.&#160; The Company also announced that the approximately 300 MW Canadian Hills Wind project (the &#147;Project&#148; or &#147;Canadian Hills&#148;) achieved its commercial operation date (&#147;COD&#148;), and that the Company closed tax equity funding for the Project and fully repaid the Project&#146;s $272 million construction loan.&#160; All figures are in US$ unless stated otherwise.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We are pleased to add 450 net MW of generating capacity to our portfolio with the addition of Canadian Hills and Ridgeline, an increase of 20%,&#148; said Barry Welch, President and CEO of Atlantic Power.&#160; &#147;The acquisition of Ridgeline adds over 150 net MW of fully-operational wind generation to our portfolio, and also positions us well for additional growth in the renewable energy space, where we have had success managing development and construction risk through to commercial operation.&#160; We successfully accessed the capital markets in 2012, raising $300 million of growth capital to fund acquisition opportunities and closing $225 million of tax equity funding to refinance the short-term construction debt at our Canadian Hills wind project.&#160; We expect the addition of the Canadian Hills and Ridgeline projects in December&nbsp;2012, and the Piedmont project in the first quarter of 2013, will increase the average remaining power purchase agreement (&#147;PPA&#148;) life of our portfolio by 38% from 7.2 years to approximately 9.9 years, as all five projects have PPAs of 20 years or longer.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Closing of Ridgeline Acquisition</font></b></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;We are excited to add the significant renewable energy experience of the Ridgeline team to Atlantic Power,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Welch.&#160; &#147;They successfully managed the development and construction of the 120 MW Meadow Creek wind project, which met all conditions for COD on December&nbsp;22, 2012, and was delivered within budget and on schedule to qualify for the federal stimulus grant program.&#160; We have initiated the integration of the Ridgeline team into the Company, and are focusing their efforts on near-term wind and solar development projects in their pipeline as well as on assisting with our renewable acquisitions opportunities.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Ridgeline acquisition increases the Company&#146;s ownership interest in the Rockland wind project to a 50% managing member interest from 30%, and adds a 12.5% interest in the 125 MW Goshen North project in addition to a 100% equity interest in Meadow Creek.&#160; The total cost of the Ridgeline acquisition was $88 million, and includes the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ridgeline and the 100% equity interest in Meadow Creek.&#160; The purchase price for the acquisition (together with working capital and acquisition expenses) was financed through a firm underwritten public offering, on a bought deal basis, of Cdn$100 million aggregated principal amount of the Debentures.&nbsp; Upon the closing of the acquisition, the maturity date of the Debentures was automatically extended from March&nbsp;31, 2013 to December&nbsp;31, 2019 in accordance with the terms of the Debentures. In addition, the Company will consolidate approximately $205 million and $43 million of existing non-recourse project-level debt at Meadow Creek and Rockland, respectively, with approximately $55 million of current Meadow Creek debt to be repaid with a U.S. stimulus grant in the first quarter of 2013.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:justify;"><font size="2" face="Arial" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company also announced today that Canadian Hills achieved COD on December&nbsp;22, 2012, which qualifies the Project to receive federal production tax credits.&#160; The Project received tax equity investments in aggregate of $225 million from a consortium of four institutional tax equity investors along with an approximately $47 million tax equity investment by the Company, which it expects to syndicate with additional tax equity investors in the first quarter of 2013.&#160; The Project&#146;s outstanding construction loan was repaid by these tax equity investors, delevering the Project and Atlantic Power&#146;s short-term debt by $272 million.&#160; The Company owns 99% of the Project having made a $200 million capital contribution in July&nbsp;2012.&#160; Cash distributions to the Company from the Project are expected to be in the range of $16 to $19 million for each full year of operation through 2020, and are expected to increase thereafter.</font></p>

We expect that this experience, coupled with the recently-acquired, seasoned Ridgeline team, will continue to provide Atlantic Power with opportunities to successfully grow its renewable energy portfolio in the near-term.&#148;</font></p>

The net generating capacity of the Company&#146;s projects is approximately 2,560 MW, consisting of interests in 33 operational power generation projects across 12 states and 2 provinces and also an 84-mile, 500 kilovolt electric transmission line located in California. In addition, the Company has a 53 MW biomass project under construction in Georgia, which is expected to achieve COD in the first quarter of 2013. Atlantic Power owns a majority interest in Rollcast Energy, a biomass power plant developer in Charlotte, NC.&#160; The Company also owns Ridgeline, a renewable development company out of Seattle, WA with approximately 1,000 MW of wind and solar projects under development.&#160; Atlantic Power is incorporated in British Columbia, is headquartered in Boston and has offices in Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver, Seattle and San Diego.</font></p>
