<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">DEDHAM, MASSACHUSETTS &#151; March&nbsp;14, 2016 &#151; Atlantic Power Corporation (NYSE: AT) (TSX: ATP) (&#147;Atlantic Power&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) announced today that Kenneth M. Hartwick has resigned from the Company&#146;s Board of Directors, effective March&nbsp;11, 2016, in order to assume his new role as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Ontario Power Generation (OPG).&#160; OPG is a power generation company based in Toronto and owned by the Province of Ontario.&#160; It generates approximately half the province&#146;s power supply needs.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;On behalf of the entire Board of Directors,&nbsp;I would like to thank Ken for his many contributions to the Board over the past 11 years and for his service to the Company as interim CEO.&#160; His many years of leadership experience in the energy sector have been invaluable to the Board as well as to the Company&#146;s management.&#160; We wish him well in his new role at OPG,&#148; said Irving Gerstein, Chairman of the Board of Atlantic Power.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;I have enjoyed my time on the Atlantic Power Board and step down with confidence that the management team and Board have a clear strategic direction on which they will continue to execute.&#160; I look forward to the Company&#146;s continued success,&#148; said Kenneth Hartwick.</font></p>
