Suncor Energy to focus on H2 and renewable fuels, sells wind and solar assets

Suncor announced it has reached an agreement to sell its wind and solar assets for $730 MM to Canadian Utilities Limited, an ATCO company. As previously announced, Suncor is divesting its wind and solar assets to focus on areas of energy expansion, H2 and renewable fuels, that are more complementary to its core business as the company progresses to net-zero by 2050.

“Divesting of these wind and solar assets further streamlines our portfolio so that we can concentrate
our efforts on our core business,” said Kris Smith, Suncor Interim President and Chief Executive
Officer. “Our ESG efforts will continue to advance in other areas that are complementary to our core
business such as replacing coke-fired boilers at Base Plant with lower emission cogeneration units,
investing in hydrogen and low-carbon fuels and accelerating commercial scale deployment of carbon
capture technology.”

The sale includes interest in Magrath, Chin Chute and Adelaide wind farms, as well as Forty Mile wind
farm which is expected to be operating by year end, and development stage renewable power assets.
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2023 and is subject to customary closing
conditions, including applicable third-party regulatory reviews and approvals. The purchase price is
subject to closing adjustments typical of transactions of this nature.
