At ENMAX, no business objective is more important than our ongoing commitment
to integrity. our leadership approach is grounded in the principles of transparency,
accountability, prudence and corporate social responsibility.
In 2011, we continued to deliver on our commitment to timely and effective information about our
governance practices and business performance with our Shareholder, The City of Calgary, and with all
Calgarians. This was a focal point for the Board and senior management team, and our work continues.
As we look ahead, we remain steadfast in our desire to achieve or exceed best practices in corporate
governance standards.
Working together to share our story Although our mandate hasn’t changed, how we communicate is continuously evolving to meet the
needs of our Shareholder and our stakeholders. We meet regularly with City Council to provide updates

senior executive compensation. We want to ensure that we are providing City Council, Calgarians and our

prudence in our management of the company and for demonstrating this through the highest

Principal Role of the BoardThe principal role of the Board is to act in the best interest of ENMAX. The President and CEO and
Executive Team are responsible for executing corporate strategy and the day-to-day management of
the organization. The Board oversees the performance of the CEO and ensures sound systems are in
place to manage our risks and operations. The Board, through engagement with the Executive, monitors
the Organization’s approach on such matters as ethics; compliance with applicable laws and regulatory
policies; environmental risks and obligations; health and safety performance; financial practices; and
disclosure and reporting. Visit our corporate website to review the current mandates or role descriptions
for the Board, its Committees, our President and CEO, and for positions of Board leadership such as our
Board Chair.
Board Governance Support to ManagementThe Board provides ongoing strategic oversight and direction, while ensuring the Organization operates in
a responsible manner and complies with applicable laws and regulations. This is a significant responsibility,
as Board members provide the leadership that ultimately shapes our corporate culture. Two of the most
critical functions the Board performs in its oversight role involve the Organization’s strategic development
and talent pool management.
The Board is engaged in the development, testing and approval of ENMAX’s high-level business strategies
which are examined and scrutinized at the Board level. Equally important is the ongoing development
of the individuals entrusted with the execution of our business strategies. ENMAX’s Board is responsible
for selecting and retaining a President and CEO and appointing their Executive team as Officers of
the Company. When ENMAX hires a CEO, the Board designates a Committee to actively manage the
selection process. Selection criteria include integrity, technical competence, character and experience
in the energy industry.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT 13
The Human Resources Committee and Board review the performance of the overall organization, the
President and CEO and the Executive team on at least an annual basis. In addition, the Board receives
assurance that Management conducts performance appraisals for employees and the Board reviews and
approves employee compensation and benefit programs. While the Board considers compensation and
benefit packages of similarly situated companies, it tailors these programs to ENMAX’s size and financial
condition, and the nature, scope, and complexities of its operations.
The Board and the Human Resources Committee monitor employee turnover rates to evaluate whether
ENMAX is retaining employees with the expertise needed to fulfill its business strategies and objectives.
The Board also verifies that ENMAX has adequate training programs to support skill levels and keep
employees current with industry trends.
The Board holds a special meeting annually to review and consider executive succession planning and
workforce development over time. This plan identifies critical positions and qualified potential successors,
including interim replacements.
The Board oversees Executive and employee compensation programs and recognizes that the structure,
composition and resources of the Board should be constructed to permit effective oversight of the variable
compensation programs. The Board believes that variable compensation can be a useful management tool.
It constantly evaluates the variable compensation programs at ENMAX to ensure they are appropriately
balanced and provide recognition for individual and team effort and corporate performance. The Board
actively oversees the development and operation of variable compensation policies, systems and related
control processes. The Board also has access to a level of expertise in compensation practices that is
appropriate for the nature, scope and complexity of ENMAX’s activities.
As part of its progressive approach to governance, since 2005,
the ENMAX Board annually identifies key issues of significant
importance to the long-term success and viability of the
Corporation. Then, in addition to providing normal oversight, the
Board focuses on an in-depth review of these particular priority
areas. These reviews have included:
• A review of ENMAX’s human capital needs and talent
management processes, with plans to continue this focus in
the years ahead
• An ongoing in-depth review of safety at ENMAX
• Successfully developing and commissioning a significant
investment in Calgary’s energy future – the Shepard Energy Centre

Entrepreneurial and CompetitiveOur Shareholder, The City of Calgary, has encouraged ENMAX to embrace change and innovation.
We seek new opportunities and work to achieve greater efficiencies within the new energy market in
which we compete. Our goal is to earn the business of consumers and to provide continued value to
our regulated customers.
Grow Value and Stable DividendENMAX’s current Dividend Policy, as set by the Shareholder, requires the Organization to pay the greater of

an appropriate cash return to The City of Calgary, to reinvest profit to grow long-term equity value, and to
have a predictable and objective basis for the determination of future dividends so lenders have confidence
in ENMAX’s ability to pay interest and principal on debt.
On an annual basis, the Audit and Finance Committee
recommends to the Board of Directors the approval of an annual
dividend to be paid to the Shareholder. The following table sets
out the dividend generated for 2009, 2010 and 2011:
Best Value and Reliability for CustomersENMAX has a strong understanding of the various complexities that consumers face in Alberta’s
competitive electricity and natural gas markets. Our core values relate to the importance of our customers
– in particular, our Customer Focus value. We take pride in delivering cost effective, reliable services to
customers both in Calgary and across Alberta.
Environmental LeaderThe City of Calgary looks to ENMAX to set the example of environmental leadership. This is aligned
with the City’s focus on leading the way in environmental responsibility. ENMAX is committed to
demonstrating leadership in advancing more environmentally sensitive power generation choices
including natural gas, solar and wind.
Strong Corporate Social ResponsibilityThe City of Calgary encourages and expects ENMAX to be an efficient, cost-competitive and reliable
energy supplier, and to deliver energy in a safe and socially and environmentally appropriate manner.
ENMAX demonstrates its commitment to corporate social responsibility through such initiatives as solar
and micro-wind home generation.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT 29
Independent and Non-independent DirectorsIndependent Board members bring a fundamental benefit to a corporation — objectivity. Having a majority of independent Directors provides assurances that decisions made are done so in the best interests of the organization. The Corporate Governance Committee and the Board review the status of our Directors annually to ensure that the Board is composed of a majority of Directors who can provide independent, varied and experienced perspectives. The independence of potential Board nominees is also reviewed when considering appointments. In order to determine independence, ENMAX refers to National Instrument 52-110 “Audit Committees”.
Board members must provide the Board with information about their business and other relationships with ENMAX or our employees. They must also advise the Board if there are any material changes to their circumstances or relationships that could affect the assessment of independence.
The Board believes that a substantial majority of the Board must be independent, and that the Audit and Finance Committee and the Human Resources Committee must consist entirely of independent Board members. As such, 75 per cent of ENMAX’s Board members are considered independent. In 2011, Mr. Ruigrok was not considered independent as Interim President and CEO. Aldermen Lowe and Pincott are also not considered independent because they serve as Aldermen of The City of Calgary, our sole Shareholder.
Mr. Greg Melchin, Chair of the Board, is independent. He assumed the role in September 2011.
For further information on the independence of the Audit and Finance Committee members, please see page 40.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT30
Board and Committee Meetings and AttendanceAll Directors strive to attend all Board meetings and meetings of Committees of which they are members. In 2010, the Board and Committee attendance rate averaged 89 per cent and In 2011, the Board and Committee attendance rate averaged 94 per cent. The number of meetings held during 2010 and 2011 is set out below, along with attendance schedules of individual Directors. Further information on Committee memberships can be found in each Director’s biography section.
The Board values the practice of Board members attending Committee meetings of which they are not members and as such, Directors hold a standing invitation to attend all Committee meetings. When setting the meeting schedule, all Board members are invited to attend at least one Committee meeting of which they are not members and may participate in such meetings by teleconference if they cannot attend in person. In this way, Board members can both contribute to and gain comfort with the level of knowledge, engagement and participation of those other Committees.
As a matter of good governance, each Board and Committee meeting agenda includes dedicated time for in-camera sessions with and without the President and CEO present. In the instance of the Audit and Finance Committee, in-camera sessions are also scheduled with the External and Internal Auditors independently.
When a corporation has a controlling shareholder, board members who have ties to the controlling shareholder are considered “non-independent”. To ensure that the interests of the minority shareholders are protected, boards may hold in-camera sessions without the representatives of the controlling shareholder present. In the case of ENMAX, notwithstanding that Aldermen Lowe and Pincott are considered non-independent due to their ties to our sole Shareholder, the need to hold in-camera sessions at which they are not present does not arise as there is no minority shareholder interest to protect.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT 33
Our Directors share their expertise and experience in many ways. Attendance at scheduled Board and Committee meetings
represents a portion of the time and effort contributed to advance our interests. Outside of formally scheduled meetings, our
Board members, such as our Board Chair and the Chair of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability Committee,
will attend planning meetings with Management or periodic informal briefings with our Shareholder.
It is recognized by the Board that when newly appointed Board members join, they may have difficulty arranging their schedules
to attend all meetings that have been previously scheduled. When this occurs, Board members contact the Board Chair, Chairs of
applicable Board Committees, Management or the Corporate Secretary to be updated on meeting business.
Position Descriptions for Board Chair, Committee Chairs, Directors and President and CEOThe Board develops and publicly discloses Position Descriptions for the Chair, Committee Chairs and individual Directors. They are
reviewed annually by the Corporate Governance Committee with any required updates recommended for approval to the Board.
The Board has also established a position description for the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The President and CEO
position description is reviewed annually by the Human Resources Committee and any updates are recommended for approval to
the Board of Directors. Descriptions of these positions can be found online at enmax.com/corporation.
Appointment of Directors and Skills Matrix On an annual basis, the Board performs two key tasks related to the appointment of Directors:
1. Meets for two full days to discuss, deliberate and approve the ENMAX strategy
2. Performs a rigorous Board Evaluation process where a performance assessment of the Board Chair, the CEO, the Board as a whole,
and individual Directors is undertaken
These processes, in combination, help the Board to build and maintain a collective set of skills, abilities and experiences that ensures
they can effectively oversee the formation and execution of ENMAX’s strategy. A Skills Matrix sets out the skills the Board requires
for optimal performance over time and is maintained by the Corporate Governance Committee and Board annually – please refer
to the next section of this Report for more detail.
When reviewing the Skills Matrix, the Committee assesses the Board’s needs to ensure the range of skills is appropriately reflective of:
• The industry in which ENMAX operates
• The markets in which ENMAX operates
• Accounting, finance and legal matters
If the Committee determines the Board would benefit from changes or adjustments to its composition, the recruitment process
may be initiated. This process includes the following steps:
1. The Corporate Governance Committee retains an external, independent recruitment advisor to identify individuals with the skills
and experience required. Any recommendations made by the Board are submitted to the external recruitment advisor in order to
maintain independence throughout the recruitment process.
2. The recruitment advisor develops a list of potential appointees taking into account, among other things, the particular skills and
experience of each individual and their ability to fit with the existing Board. An analysis of their skills in comparison to the Skills
Matrix is undertaken. The recruitment advisor also considers behavioural characteristics, including ethics and integrity, the ability
to be a team player, having the capability to have a wide perspective, having strong reasoning skills and strong business judgment.
The recruitment advisor also considers any potential conflicts that an appointee may have.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT34
3. Once the external recruitment advisor identifies suitable candidates, candidate profiles are sent to and discussed with the Chair
of the Corporate Governance Committee to ensure that the initial list has adequately taken into account the skills required by
the Board.
4. Candidate profiles are sent to a selection committee that the Corporate Governance Committee and the Board has authorized
to review profiles and perform interviews. The committee generally consists of the Board Chair, the Chair of the Corporate
Governance Committee and the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee.
5. Once interviews take place, a fulsome overview of the process for determining potential appointees is provided by the selection
committee to the Corporate Governance Committee and if agreement is reached as to which candidates will be put forth to the
Board, the Corporate Governance Committee will recommend the most appropriate person from the short list to be invited to
become a Director. Upon approval of the Board, Director nominees will be put forward for election by the Shareholder.
Factors considered when recommending a person for appointment as a Director also include the time commitment required by a
Director to effectively discharge his or her duties; the number of existing directorships and other commitments that may demand the
attention of the appointee; the nature of existing positions, directorships or other relationships and the impact that each may have
on the appointee’s ability to exercise independent judgment; and the extent to which the appointee is likely to work constructively
with the existing Directors and contribute to Board’s overall effectiveness.The Corporate Governance Committee maintains an
evergreen list of potential Directors, as previously identified by both Board members and the external recruitment advisor.
Skills MatrixThe Board believes a strategic, diverse mix of skills, experience and expertise is critical to ensuring effective oversight of the wide
range of issues that arise with ENMAX’s complex operations. The Skills Matrix is a living document and is constantly evolving in
accordance with ENMAX’s strategy. The Skills Matrix supports the Board’s efforts to ensure an optimal and evolving balance of
skill exists today and is planned for over time in the event of retirements or other Director succession requirements. The Corporate
Governance Committee and the Board annually complete a comprehensive review of the Skills Matrix. Individual Board members are
also required to complete a self-assessment against the Skills Matrix, which is reviewed by the Corporate Governance Committee. It
is through this process that the Board collectively determines whether it is constituted of the appropriate Board members necessary
to achieve the organization’s strategy.
The following table lists the 18 categories of skills and experience that are essential to the Board overall, to effectively oversee and
act as a strategic resource for the Organization:

Board Orientation, Continuing Education and Board PerformanceDirector education and ongoing professional development is highly valued at ENMAX as it helps Directors maintain the critical
skills, insights and understanding of our operations, in addition to the changing context and developing issues that may impact
our business and governance requirements over time. To support this, we have in place an established orientation program for new
Directors, and a continuing education and development for all Directors.
Orientation for DirectorsThe Board fosters a culture that encourages Directors to participate fully and effectively in Board activities as soon as possible. All
new Directors undergo a comprehensive orientation which addresses the Board mandate, the Board’s role and the organization’s
governance structure as well as the nature and scope of our diverse operations. The purpose of the orientation is to help incoming
Directors assume their responsibilities quickly, maximizing their potential contribution and the capacity of the Board as a whole.
The Directors’ Orientation Program contains the following key elements:
1. One-on-one interviews with Board leaders, such as our Chair and Committee Chairs, our Executives and other key participants
in ENMAX’s governance structure, such as our Internal and External Auditors
2. New Board members (and current Board members) are invited to attend all Committee meetings
3. ENMAX believes site visits are critical to enhance the understanding of ENMAX’s business. Site visits are available to both new
and current Board members and may include our energy centres, network sites, office locations and wind generation assets.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT 37
4. A general reference manual is provided to the Board which provides information on a wide range of key topics, including:
• Information on organizational structure
• Recent regulatory filings
• Financial information
• Governance documents
• Important policies
Continuing Education for DirectorsOur continuing education program for Directors has four components:
• Receiving management presentations at Board and Committee meetings
• Visiting facilities we operate
• Attending conferences and seminars
• Receiving relevant and timely presentations from guest speakers
Management also makes presentations to the Board and Committees when they are making key business decisions, during strategic planning meetings, on topical issues and in response to requests from Directors.
Directors are also encouraged to attend conferences, seminars and courses on topics related to their role, or that are important for enhancing knowledge of our industry. ENMAX reimburses Directors for related expenses in accordance with an expense reimbursement policy overseen by the Corporate Governance Committee.
Board PerformanceThe Corporate Governance Committee annually assesses the effectiveness of the Board, its Committees and individual Directors through a formal process every year. The Committee uses the results of the evaluations to assess the composition of the Board and Committees and effectiveness of meetings and seeks to ensure we utilize Directors’ expertise and identify gaps in skills and experience. Further details on the evaluations that ENMAX conducts and the areas on which Board members are requested to
comment can be found on our website at enmax.com/corporation.
Board Oversight of CEO and Business
Overseeing the CEOThe President and CEO is appointed by the Board and is responsible for managing ENMAX’s affairs. The CEO’s key responsibilities involve articulating the vision for ENMAX, creating value for the Shareholder, and developing and implementing a strategic plan that is consistent with ENMAX’s vision, mission and values. The Human Resources Committee reviews the President and CEO’s annual objectives before recommending them to the Board for approval.
The President and CEO is accountable to the Board and Board Committees. The Human Resources Committee and the Board
conduct a formal review of performance once a year. At each scheduled quarterly meeting, the President and CEO provides a report
outlining ENMAX’s year-to-date performance and key business issues.
The Board has established clear limits of contracting and spending authority for the CEO and other levels of management. These are
described in the Delegation of Authority Policy, which the Board reviews on an annual basis and updates, as necessary. The Board
has also adopted a position description for the President and CEO which is available on our corporate website.

Balanced Decision-MakingWhen making decisions, the Board always considers the best interests of ENMAX. To ensure effectively balanced business decisions
are reached, the Board also carefully weighs the interests of our Shareholder, customers, employees, suppliers, communities in which
we operate, the environment, governments, regulators and the general public.
Strategic PlanningENMAX’s President and CEO and Executive team are responsible for developing our strategic plan and presenting it to the Board
annually for approval. The Board holds a special, two-day meeting to review key strategic issues with management and consider
the opportunities and risks facing our business. The Executive also presents strategic issues and risk reports throughout the year
as circumstances arise or change, and the Board and Executive can revise our Strategic Plan as required in light of changes in our
operating environment. The Executive team also develops and presents a multi-year operating plan and annual budget to the Board
for approval. The annual budget is then presented to the Shareholder for final approval.
Managing and Assessing RiskThe Board has overall responsibility for the oversight of risk at ENMAX and places high priority on its duties in this regard. Following
the successful implementation of a formal enterprise risk management system, the Board disbanded its Enterprise Risk Management
Committee in 2011 and has reallocated oversight of risk management at the level of the Board alongside its other primary
responsibility for strategic planning.
Risk takes different forms for ENMAX given the complexity and breadth of our operations, and can include operational, financial,
governance, health and safety, environmental, compensation, strategic and reputational risk. ENMAX uses its enterprise risk
management system to effectively manage and assess risk; the Board receives regular updates from the Executive team on emerging
areas of risk or changes to the organization’s overall risk profile.
Our enterprise risk management system involves a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, reporting and managing significant
risks. We follow defined principles approved annually by the Board to help identify and mitigate uncertainties that can negatively
affect our ability to achieve corporate and business objectives. To mitigate risk, executive members identified as owning specific
risks outline the controls that are planned or already in place, and any risk assessment and work that is under way.
Internal ControlsThe Board and its Committees are responsible for monitoring the integrity of our internal controls and management information
systems. The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for overseeing the internal controls, including controls over accounting
and financial reporting systems. The Internal Auditor reports directly to the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee and provides
quarterly reports to the Committee; the CFO makes quarterly presentations on our financial results and forecasts to the Audit and
Finance Committee and Board.
ENMAX’s Executive is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting
to provide reasonable assurance that public reporting of our financial information is reliable and accurate, our transactions are
appropriately accounted for and the Organization’s assets are adequately safeguarded.

Ethics and Integrity – Business ConductOur Board expects all Directors, Officers and employees to act with honesty, integrity and impartiality, to earn and maintain the trust
of our Shareholder, employees, other stakeholders, customers and the communities where we operate. Our Principles of Business
Ethics contains principles for ethical behaviour expected of all of us and describes the governance and corporate culture we want to
develop and preserve. The Board reviews and approves the Principles of Business Ethics. A copy of the Principles of Business Ethics
can be found on our corporate website. It covers the following, among other things:
1. Our Principles
• Core Values
• Tone at the Top
• Leadership Attributes
2. Ethical Conduct in the Workplace
• Diversity
• Harassment
• Health and Safety
• Work Performance
3. Ethical Conduct in External Work Relationships
• Purchasing and Suppliers
• Gifts and Entertainment
• Relationships with Customers
• Fair Competition
• Relationships with Non-Profit and Professional Organizations
• Conducting International Business
4. Ethical Use of Company Property and Information
• Confidential and Private Information
• Use of the Company’s Assets
• Accounting and Financial Reporting
• Managing Risk
• Using E-mail and the Internet
5. Corporate Responsibility
6. Ethical Conduct as Individual Employees
• Avoiding Conflict of Interest
• Traveling on Company Business
• Outside Business Activities
• Investments
• Disclosure of Investment Information
7. Our Conduct as Employees, Supervisors, Officers and Directors of ENMAX
ENMAX has had a confidential Safety and Ethics HelpLine in place since 2004, and employees who may not feel comfortable addressing issues of concern directly with their supervisor or management can anonymously express concerns about inappropriate business conduct by phone or online, through a third party who ensures the anonymity of the employee. All matters are brought to the attention of the Vice President, Corporate Responsibility, who either investigates the matter or assigns the investigation to those with specific responsibility for the area involved. The outcome of the investigation is communicated to the employee through the third-party service provider. Every report made through the HelpLine is reported to the Corporate Governance Committee on a quarterly basis.
All new employees receive a copy of the Principles of Business Ethics when they are hired and complete mandatory online ethics training. The Directors and Officers of ENMAX are also required to complete a Disclosure of Conflicts form on an annual basis in which they must disclose any conflicts. This helps to ensure that Board members exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in which a Director or Executive Officer has a material interest. The Board ensures that a Board member who has a material interest in a transaction or agreement does not participate in discussions or vote on the matters about which he or she is conflicted.
A report of both Board and senior Executive material interests is presented to the Board on an annual basis.

Independence and Membership of the Audit and Finance CommitteeThe Audit and Finance Committee consists of four Directors, all of whom are “financially literate” and “independent” within the meaning
of National Instrument 52-110 “Audit Committees”. In considering criteria for the determination of financial literacy, the Board looks
at the ability to read and understand a balance sheet, an income statement and a statement of cash flow that present a breadth and
level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably
be expected to be raised by ENMAX’s financial statements.
In addition to the requirements of National Instrument 52-110, the Board has established a higher standard wherein we define
“Financial Experts”. ENMAX Audit and Finance Committee board members are Financial Experts and financially literate under 52-110.
In considering criteria for the determination of a Financial Expert, the Board considers senior executive experience or consulting in
financial accounting and reporting and corporate finance, especially with respect to debt and equity markets. Board members must
also have a comprehensive knowledge of internal financial controls and GAAP and have expertise in auditing, evaluating or analyzing
financial statements.

Director CompensationENMAX provides all independent Board members with a compensation package of annual cash retainers and meeting fees. The
package provides competitive remuneration for the increasing responsibilities, time commitments and accountability of Board
members. The CEO and Aldermen Lowe and Pincott do not receive compensation for their role on the Board.
In 2011, our Shareholder approved the following process for determining Board compensation:
1. Our Shareholder is asked to approve, every three years, the peer group against which ENMAX’s director compensation is assessed.
As at December 31, 2011, there were 17 companies in the peer group
2. Compensation is targeted at the 50th percentile of that peer group
3. The ENMAX Board of Directors is authorized to adjust compensation for Directors, Committee Chairs and the Chair of the Board
to the 50th percentile of the peer group
As at December 31, 2011, ENMAX remuneration is based on the last review of Directors’ compensation by the Shareholder which
occurred in 2011. The ENMAX Board retains the services of a third-party compensation consultant (Towers Perrin, now Towers
Watson) to assist in the identification of an appropriate peer group and provide market data for remuneration assessments.
That peer group, along with the proposed Board compensation structure was presented to the Shareholder in 2011. In keeping with
the process for determining Board compensation, the peer group and Director’s compensation were approved by the Shareholder
at that time. Board remuneration is set as follows:
Board RemunerationBase Compensation for Chair of the Board of Directors (for outside and independent Chair) $160,000 per year, paid as $40,000 per quarter
Base Compensation for Committee Chair (for outside and independent Chair) $50,000 per year, paid as $12,500 per quarter
Base Compensation for all other outside and independent directors $45,000 per year, paid as $11,250 per quarter
Remuneration per Board or Shareholder meeting (in person or conference call) for outside and independent directors $1,500
Remuneration per Committee meeting (in person or conference call) for outside and independent directors $1,500
In addition, ENMAX Corporation reimburses Directors for incidental costs associated with attending Board meetings or functions
including air travel, car service, hotel accommodation and meals. Directors are requested to keep a record of such expenses,
including receipts. The Chairman of the Board signs all Director expenses and the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee signs
any expenses of the Chairman of the Board.
Further, Directors are compensated for attendance at other ENMAX business-related meetings which may take a significant period
of time.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT 49
Compensation Philosophy ENMAX compensates, rewards and recognizes all employees at every level of the organization, based on their contribution to
business outcomes. We work hard to attract, motivate and retain a capable workforce. The overriding standard for compensation is
to ensure that we are competitive within the market in which we work and compete for talent with compensation programs that
do not expose the Organization to undue risk.
Executive Compensation Objectives and Linkage to ENMAX Strategic DirectionAt ENMAX, we promise to apply fresh thinking to provide energy for Alberta’s way of life. We believe in delivering energy solutions
that work in the present, but still provide for a better future to reliably and economically generate and provide energy for Albertans.
Our long-term plan is to have the majority of our customers’ needs matched by renewable energy, cogeneration, district energy
or the best available clean coal or gas technologies. We believe our strategy of vertical integration — where we support our
customer commitments with our own generation facilities — will continue to benefit our customers and offer long-term value to
our Shareholder, The City of Calgary.
Our Executive compensation program supports this strategy and includes elements that are fixed and variable. Annually, with the
assistance of external experts we thoroughly assess the competitiveness of these individual components and overall compensation
levels with the goal of providing total compensation for fully qualified employees at market median levels. Compensation may vary
from the median depending on corporate success and individual performance. Our compensation programs are designed to be
market competitive with Canadian organizations in related industries that are of a similar size and scope of operations.
Relative weighting on fixed and variable compensation for each Executive takes into account the Executive’s role, his or her ability
to affect business results over the short and longer term and the compensation mix for similar positions in the competitive market.
• Salary establishes a competitive foundation considering both internal equity and comparability and external market competitiveness.
• Annual variable pay recognizes achievement of corporate, business and individual goals with a one-year time horizon.
• Variable pay plans spanning more than one year include the following: medium term variable pay, project medium-term
variable pay and long-term variable pay. These plans align longer term Executive and ENMAX interests by focusing Executives
on superior financial performance and sustained value creation.
Benchmarking and Peer GroupENMAX has developed a peer group of companies to compare, assess and validate the market competitiveness of our Executive (and
Board) compensation elements. Under ENMAX’s compensation model, all cash compensation elements are benchmarked every
year with reference to the median of comparable executive roles in the Board approved peer group.
Every three years, or more frequently if necessary, the Human Resources Committee of the Board retains the services of third-party
compensation consultants to develop and confirm the relevance of the peer group used for executive compensation benchmarking
purposes. Towers Watson was retained in 2010 to assist in the identification of an appropriate peer group and provide market data
necessary to make compensation decisions in 2011. The Board also retained Meridian Compensation Partners in March 2011 to
independently review the compensation approach, peer group methodology and long-term variable pay design features. Details of
their engagement are outlined on page 68 of this report.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION GOVERNANCE
Table of contents
ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT50
We have developed a peer group for use for benchmarking compensation levels for our Named Executive Officers (NEOs) and the
broader Executive team (direct reports to the President and CEO).
Our NEOs are our President and CEO, our Executive Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer and our three highest paid
Executives reporting to the President and CEO for 2011.
Peer GroupOur peer group is made up of companies and industries that reflect the market within which we compete for executive talent and
with which we compete in our business operations. In developing the peer group, consideration was given to the following criteria in
order to ensure that the organizations included were valid labour market sources for our Executive team: industry, business structure,
revenue and geography.
In 2011, our peer group for our Executive team, including our NEOs, consisted of organizations that met the following tests:
relevant industry:
• Power generation companies
• Energy utilities (electric, gas and multi)
• Oil and gas exploration and production
• Energy services
• Independent power producers and energy traders
• Oil and gas storage and transportation
• Non-autonomous organizations (i.e. government and subsidiary organizations)
relevant revenue:
• Similarly-sized in terms of revenue scope (i.e. approximately 0.5 to 2 times that of ENMAX)
relevant Geography:
• Headquartered in Canada, with strong representation of Alberta-based organizations
other considerations:
• Our peer group reflects the national market for Executive talent, while incorporating a significant Alberta presence to reflect
local pay practices and competitive pressures. It includes key industry peers in Alberta, such as FortisAlberta, AltaLink, and
Inter Pipeline Fund, even though their revenue is lower than the 50 per cent threshold as they are direct competitors and
labour market sources in Alberta.
• Availability of market data formed the final screen. Companies in our peer group participate in Towers Watson’s Energy and
General Industry Salary Surveys.
• Revenue comparability was viewed as having a stronger correlation between organizational complexity and scope and executive
pay. As such, asset size was a secondary criterion.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT52
The executive compensation review that the Board of Directors commissioned in 2010 has resulted in an expansion of this peer
group (from the prior peer group) to better reflect the organizations with which we compete both for executive talent and on
general business terms. The review concluded that our median target pay philosophy is valid and will continue. A new annual
variable pay plan design and a new long-term variable play plan design also resulted from this review. Design details are outlined on
page 57 of this report.
The review also resulted in the discontinuation of the project medium-term variable pay plan that was in existence for key individuals
involved in the acquisition and construction of new generation assets.
Target Total Direct Compensation LevelsAs an organization, we target to deliver median compensation levels as compared to our peer group of companies — for all positions.
Compensation for an individual may vary up or down from median based on factors including:
• Skill set and availability in the market
• Level of expertise in the role
Pay MixThe following table indicates the percentage of each of the compensation elements that each NEO has received, excluding benefits,
pension and perquisites, averaged over a three-year period, unless otherwise noted. Actual pay mix may vary from year to year
as our compensation programs are designed to meet both performance and competitiveness objectives. We have structured our
executive compensation programs to provide the majority of our compensation in the form of variable, or at-risk compensation to
ensure alignment with the shareholder’s interests. The actual mix between the compensation elements varies, depending on the
Executive’s ability to impact short and long-term business results and competitive practices.

EXEcutiVE coMpENSAtioN GoVErNANcE
Table of contents
ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT 53
In determining our Executives’ compensation, the Human Resources Committee considers a comprehensive analysis that includes:
• External market data for comparable positions within the peer group to those of ENMAX
• An evaluation of the performance of the CEO
• The CEO’s recommendations for direct reports — including an assessment of individual success achieved in the performance period
• The advice of the Committee’s independent advisor
• Each individual’s potential to contribute to our strategic direction and long-term value to the shareholder
• A summary of compensation decisions from the prior year for reference
Risk Assessment of Compensation Decisions In developing its recommendations to the Board of Directors, the Committee considers the long-term impact of its recommendation
on future earnings and performance to ensure that increases it approves will not yield unintended consequences such as erosion of
future profitability, loss of stakeholder confidence, etc.
The Committee also reviews all compensation elements, individually and in total, to ensure they align with the program objectives.
This process is conducted annually, typically at the March Committee meeting. Salary increases, when awarded, are effective
retroactively January 1st of that same year.
Committee’s Use of Discretion and Understanding of Impact of DecisionsThe Committee is comprised of skilled individuals with career-based expertise in compensation matters to ensure that it is properly
equipped to determine the Executive compensation levels. Most Committee members have significant experience in compensation
and risk management matters as past senior leaders of complex, often publicly-traded organizations and through their prior and
current membership on the Human Resources or Audit and Finance Committees of the ENMAX Board of Directors.
The Committee retains discretion in the awarding of any of the compensation elements as does the Board of Directors. The
committee specifically examines the risk/reward relationship and assesses the long-term risk implications of its decisions.
The Committee is fully aware of the long-term implications of employment agreements that have been structured and the limitations
that such employment agreements may have on the Committee’s ability to change the compensation mix.
Payments under the annual variable pay plan are capped under the plan design, limiting the exposure to the Organization.
It is important to note that recommendations made by the Human Resources Committee to the Board related to the salary, annual
variable pay and any form of long-term variable pay are the responsibility of the Committee and the Board and may reflect factors
and considerations other than information provided by the CEO and/or third-party-consultants, including Towers Watson and
Meridian Compensation Partners.
Setting Each Compensation Component
SalariesSalaries are set at a level competitive in the market for similar roles and reflect the nature and level of the position, the level of skill,
knowledge and experience each individual brings to their role and their level of individual performance.

Annual Variable PayENMAX’s annual variable pay program provides for competitive compensation that reflects:
• Overall financial performance
• Success on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to each business unit, over which an Executive has oversight
• Individual performance
A three-step process determines NEOs Annual Variable Pay:
1. Determine organization performance
2. Determine Business unit Success on Key performance indicators
3. Determine individual Success
1. Determine Overall Organization PerformanceEarnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is the measure ENMAX uses to calculate overall corporate
financial success and this is the funding measure for our annual variable pay plan. A threshold level of EBITDA must be achieved
before any annual variable pay is awarded, to ensure that our Shareholder’s interests are protected.
2011 Annual Variable Pay Plan Funding BUDGETED EBITDA ADJUSTED EBITDA PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO BUDGET
2010 EBITDA $398.2 million $425.3 million 107%
2. Determine Business Unit Success Based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)In keeping with our 2011 objective to achieve best-in-class success as an organization, we structured our annual variable pay plan
to focus the business units to achieve best-in-class success. There is an expectation that in striving for best-in-class performance
we will not always achieve that level of success on every measure annually. Each business unit is evaluated annually on their overall
results and an assessment is made as to their progress that year toward those best-in-class objectives that relate to their business.
Best-in-class measures are developed using appropriate external (e.g. safety) or internal (e.g. compliance) key performance indicators.
Where we have access to reliable, meaningful external data we factor that data in to the analysis through which we arrive at our
best-in-class levels.
For example, in safety, our best-in-class targets for total recordable injury frequency and lost time severity rate are developed with
the intent to lead a benchmark of Canadian electric utilities of comparable size to ENMAX, and are calibrated annually.
The methodology for developing the best-in-class values is reviewed annually with the Board at the time they are developed. Success
relative to the KPIs is used to determine the business unit’s score (typically 0–100 per cent). Once the score is determined, each
NEO’s accomplishments relative to their own personal objectives determines their individual payout.
This assessment is considered by the Human Resources Committee in their annual compensation determination process for the
NEOs. The results outlined in the table below reflect business unit achievements for the annual variable pay payments for 2010
performance (paid in 2011):

their commitment to the organization and align Executives’ interests with those of our Shareholder. The pool is funded by allocating
a maximum of 15 per cent of year-over-year growth in our Net Income. The Board retains full discretion in determining the pool
funding and the annual awards are approved by the Board.
Executive Vice Presidents and the CEO are eligible for annual awards that vest over the following three years. The vesting schedule
is 50 per cent one year following the award and 25 per cent in years two and three following the award. In determining the size of
an individual’s award, the Committee reviews the relevant market data, the strategic importance and contribution of the Executive
to our long-term success and retention considerations.

CEO and other NEOs in 2009, 2010 and 2011 are outlined in our Summary Compensation Table.
Other Variable Pay Plans
Project Medium-Term Variable Pay Plan (PMTVPP)We have a variable pay plan through which our Executive Vice President, Generation and Wholesale Energy (Mr. David Rehn) and
select other individuals (no other NEOs) are eligible to receive awards tied to successful completion of projects focused on new
generation asset construction and new generation asset acquisitions. Payments are linked to pre-determined milestones and require
achievement of financial, schedule and operational measures.
The payment Mr. Rehn received from this plan in 2011 ($320,125) is included in the Summary Compensation Table in the “All Other
Compensation” column and explained in the accompanying footnote. The Board of Directors approved this payout.
This plan was discontinued as a result of the Board-initiated review of compensation programs in 2011. 2011 was the last year for
payouts under the plan.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT58
Changes in Compensation Arrangements in 2011 We did not introduce any new compensation or benefit programs in 2011 for our Named Executive Officers. Design was underway
for changes to annual variable pay plan and long-term variable pay plan. Plan features for 2012 are outlined below.
Approved Changes to ENMAX Variable Pay Plans for 2012The information outlined here pertains to changes that were approved in 2011 with effect in 2012 and beyond. Payouts made in
2011 were according to the plans’ terms and conditions that were in effect at that time.
Annual Variable Pay (AVP) Plan As a result of the review commissioned by the Board of Directors that was completed in 2011, the following changes were made to ENMAX’s Annual Variable Pay Plan for the 2012 plan year:
• Clearer performance expectations through the identification of threshold, target and maximum performance levels and associated payouts, ranging from 50 per cent at threshold to 150 per cent at maximum
• Fewer Key Performance Indicators at the business unit level focused on themes of cost control, project delivery, reliability/performance and compliance
• Weighting of components in overall payout by corporate, business unit and individual
• All ENMAX employees will have an individual performance component to their AVP Plan (including unionized employees)
• Tested competitiveness of target payouts with companies in our peer group to ensure our continued ability to attract, motivate and retain a skilled workforce
As with the previous plan, the redesigned AVP Plan has capped payments that balance risk and reward and mitigate excessive risk taking by participants.
Plan design includes measures that reward for corporate, business unit and individual performance as follows:
• Corporate Performance:
• EBITDA 70 per cent weight
• Safety (Total Recordable Injury Frequency) 30 per cent weight
• Business Unit Performance:
• Select Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that drive success at a business unit level in the areas of cost control, project delivery, performance and compliance
• Individual/Team Performance:
• Measures success on personal performance goals — developed by individuals and approved by leaders. In the case of ENMAX’s IBEW employees, includes a component for responsibility for working safely throughout the year
Success against each component (Corporate/Business Unit/Individual/Team) may vary on a scale of 0 per cent to 150 per cent. Payouts are additive for each component. The weighting of each component varies by organizational level. At the CEO level, the weighting is 80 per cent corporate and 20 per cent individual. For other NEOs it is 50 per cent corporate, 30 per cent business unit and 20 per cent individual.

Annual Variable Pay Plan Threshold/Target and MaximumFor 2012, the following payout ranges (as a per cent of salary) are in place:
THRESHOLD (50 PER CENT PAYOUT)
TARGET (100 PER CENT PAYOUT)
MAXIMUM (150 PER CENT PAYOUT)
President and CEO 37.5% 75% 112.5%Direct Reports to CEO 22.5% 45% 67.5%
Annual Variable Pay Plan Clawback Provisions These provisions apply to the President and CEO, Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents.
The determination of future annual variable pay payments is based on assumptions and representations from Management. For that
reason, the Board reserves the right to seek repayment of past payments made and/or amend any future payments in situations where:
1. The amount of annual variable pay received by the executive or former executive officer was calculated based upon, or contingent
on, the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of or affected by a material restatement of all
or a portion of the Organization’s financial statements
2. The executive or former executive officer engaged in intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially caused the need for
the restatement
3. The amount of annual variable pay received would have been lower have had the financial results been properly reported
Changes to the ENMAX Long-Term Variable Pay (LTVP) PlanAs a result of the review commissioned by the Board of Directors that was completed in 2011, ENMAX’s long-term variable pay plan
for 2012 and beyond was completely redesigned to incorporate the following features:
• A forward-looking three-year performance-based plan, with performance assessed at the end of the performance period and
payouts determined/made at that time
• Better linkage of pay to performance
• Allows ENMAX to support the organization’s strategy and develop long-term value for our shareholder through the selection
of performance measures
• Market competitive grants
• Encourages cross-business unit collaboration to achieve shared goals
• Identifies the range of payout possibilities (from threshold to maximum) at the outset
The main goals of the LTVPP are to align participants’ compensation with Shareholder interests of long-term value creation, enhance
executive retention, recognize excellent performance and align with prevalent compensation design in our peer group of companies.
The new plan has capped payments that balance risk and reward and mitigate excessive risk taking by participants. Financial and
strategic goals are set at the outset of a three-year performance period. At the end of the performance period, the Board will assess
performance against each measure and will determine the success achieved. The weighting between financial and strategic (non-
financial measures) is 50/50.
EligibilityFor the 2012 – 2014 performance period, the President and CEO, Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents are eligible.

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT60
Performance Measures (Financial and Strategic)The financial measure is a three-year average ROCE (return on capital employed) and the strategic measures include: improvement
in safety performance, improvement in voluntary employee turnover, growth in retail market share, and progress on the Shepard
Energy Centre (in terms or safety, cost, schedule and quality), equally weighted.
Measures and performance levels at threshold, target and maximum payout levels are reviewed and established annually for each
new performance period. Awards are determined prospectively for the three-year performance period. Awards are made annually
with payouts ranging between 0 – 200 per cent of the grant amount as indicated by the performance achieved at the end of the
three-year performance period.
The first full performance period for this LTVPP is January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014.
Individual AwardsIndividual awards will be determined at the beginning of the performance period. As a guideline, the individual awards will be
set to provide eligible executives with a realistic possibility to attain median total direct compensation (TDC) that is competitive
with the Alberta marketplace for similarly placed senior executives in comparable companies and in keeping with our approved
median compensation philosophy. Other factors influencing the size of awards include: retention, individual performance, market
competitiveness and each individual’s potential to contribute to our strategic direction and the long-term value to the Shareholder.
Payout TimelineThe LTVPP is a performance-based plan, paid out in cash. Payouts under the plan are not earned until the end of the performance
period and until such time as the performance measures of the plan have been assessed.
Payout DeterminationAll awards are granted at target. Payouts may range from 0 - 200 per cent of target. The determination of success under the plan
is the same for all participants in the plan. For clarity, if payouts are determined to be at 100 per cent of target, all participants will
receive 100 per cent of their initial award, provided they have not resigned, retired or been dismissed from employment at ENMAX.
The following schematic illustrates the plan structure:

Clawback ProvisionsThese provisions apply to all LTVP Plan participants.
The determination of future long-term variable pay payments is based on assumptions and representations from management.
For that reason, the Board reserves the right to seek repayment of past payments made and/or amend any future payments in
situations where:
1. The amount of long-term variable pay and annual variable pay received by the executive or former executive officer was calculated
based upon, or contingent on, the achievement of certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of or affected by a
material restatement of all or a portion of the Organization’s financial statements
2. The executive or former executive officer engaged in intentional misconduct or fraud that caused or partially caused the need for
the restatement
3. The amount of long-term variable pay received would have been lower have had the financial results been properly reported

Pension and Benefit Plans
ENMAX Registered Pension Plan — Defined Contribution (DC)The Defined Contribution (DC) option under the ENMAX Registered Pension Plan provides immediate enrolment and immediate
vesting for eligible participants. The amount payable upon termination or retirement is the value within the employee’s DC account
at the time of transfer. Other features include:
• ENMAX contributes 4 per cent of employee earnings to a maximum earnings level determined by applying the Money Purchase Limit set by the Income Tax Act (ITA) each year against the member’s “points” (age + service)
• Employees may make optional contributions of between 0 per cent to 4 per cent of eligible earnings, which ENMAX matches at a rate between 50 per cent to 150 per cent based on the member’s points
• Employees may also make unmatched voluntary contributions of between 0 per cent to 8 per cent of earnings, provided overall contributions do not exceed the annual maximum prescribed by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
• Employees may change the amount of their optional contributions at any time
• Employees direct their own investments and may invest in the various funds covering all major asset classes; In 2011, there were 22 segregated funds with an array of investment types and styles, for members to choose from
• Company and optional employee contributions are locked-in in order to provide income at retirement, as required by Alberta pension legislation and, upon event, may be transferred to a Locked-In Retirement Account (LIRA) of the employee’s choosing
• Voluntary contributions may be withdrawn at any time, subject to applicable taxes
While ENMAX operates a Defined Benefit (DB) Option under the ENMAX Registered Pension Plan, none of the Named Executive
Officers belong to the DB plan. The pension values reflected in the Summary Compensation table include the DC pension values.
ENMAX Supplemental Pension Plan (Non-Registered)Our NEOs participate (except Mr. Ruigrok) in one of the two non-registered Supplemental Retirement Plans; plan details and
participant information follow. Tables outlining the values attributable to the supplemental retirement plan are found on page 66 of
this report.
Defined Benefit — Supplemental Retirement Plan (Non-Registered)ENMAX established a Defined Benefit Supplemental Retirement Plan (DB-SRP) in 2000. The DB-SRP was closed to new entrants
in March 2006. The DB-SRP provides benefits to participants whose registered pension benefits are limited by the maximum
defined benefit accrual limits set by the ITA. In 2011, the limit was set at $2,552.22 per year of service. DB-SRP participants whose
pensionable earnings exceed an annual threshold determined by the provisions of the plan ($142,101 for 2011) will accrue service
for that year, under the DB-SRP. Other aspects of the DB-SRP provisions include:
• Employee contributions are neither permitted nor required
• Formula for each year of Pensionable Service is 1.75 per cent of Highest Average Pensionable Earnings
• Highest Average Pensionable Earnings is defined as the sum of the pensionable earnings in the five consecutive calendar years in which earnings are the highest divided by five years, or the member’s continuous service if less
• Earnings are determined by the amount of base pay and actual annual variable pay in excess of the maximum pensionable earnings limit
• Vesting occurs after two years of continuous service
• Normal retirement is age 65. Early retirement is age 55. The early retirement reduction is three per cent for each year that the
member retires prior to the attainment of age 65 or the date when the member’s credited service and age equals 85 points

the Summary Compensation table include the DB-SRP values.
Defined Contribution — Supplemental Retirement Plan (Non-Registered)Effective March 21, 2006 the Defined Contribution Supplemental Retirement Plan (DC-SRP) was established for all new employees
and current employees who did not previously qualify for DB-SRP membership. The DC-SRP is available for employees whose
pensionable earnings (salary pay and annual variable pay amounts) exceed an annual threshold based on each member’s points.
Other aspects of the DC-SRP provisions include:
• Employee contributions are neither permitted nor required
• Company contributions are six per cent (for employees with less than 40 points), eight per cent (for employees between 40
and 60 points) and 10 per cent (for employees with 60 points or more)
• Points are age + service
• Vesting occurs after two years of continuous service
• Each participant’s DC-SRP values are tracked in a notional account maintained by Sun Life Financial
Of the NEOs, the following are participants in the DC-SRP – David Halford, David Rehn and Terry Tyler. The pension values reflected
in the Summary Compensation table include the DC-SRP values.
Benefit Programs
Flexible Benefits ProgramAll of our permanent employees, including our Executives, enjoy a flexible benefits plan including the ability to choose the level of
extended health & dental, group life insurance, short- and long-term disability, accidental death and dismemberment insurance,
that meet their family’s needs. They also have a health spending account. The benefit plan year resets every July and members may
re-enrol and update their coverage levels. Mr. Ruigrok is not eligible for the ENMAX Flexible Benefits Program.
Flexible Perquisite AccountOur Executives, except Mr. Ruigrok, are provided with a flexible perquisite account that they can allocate annually to one, or a
combination of the following items: a vehicle allowance, financial planning services, a health spending account (in addition to the
amount provided under the core benefits plan) and club memberships. The value of the flexible perquisite account is $20,000/annum
for the CEO and $15,000/annum for Executive Vice Presidents. The value for this benefit is included in the Summary Compensation
Table under “Other Compensation.”

Robert Hemstock 5.8384 $32,200 $123,500 $232,700 $45,700 $82,600 $361,000(1) compensatory changes include the ENMAX service cost for the year and the impact on the accrued obligation of the difference between actual and expected pensionable earnings for 2011. the accrued benefit
obligation at the end of 2011 is measured using a discount rate of 4.25 per cent per year and the accrued benefit obligation at the end of 2010 is measured using a discount rate of 5.25 per cent per year. this was offset by the impact on the accrued obligation as a result of lower than expected base salaries for 2011 (the December 31, 2010 accrued obligations assumed a 3.5 per cent increase plus an age-related merit and promotion increase to base salaries in 2011; however, the Executive did not receive a base salary increase in 2011).
(2) Non-compensatory changes include all other changes in the accrued obligation not included within the compensatory change, including interest on the December 31, 2010 accrued obligations and 2011 ENMAX service costs, in addition to the impact on the accrued obligations of other net plan experience. this component also includes the impact of changes in assumptions, such as liability discount rate decreasing from 5.25 per cent per year to 4.25 per cent per year, which significantly increased the accrued obligations (impacting all years of Defined Benefit Supplemental plan Service) at December 31, 2011.
(3) the accrued benefit obligation reflects the value of the benefits payable as of the member’s normal retirement age (i.e., the later of age 55 and 85 points, but not later than age 65) based on Highest Average Excess Earnings projected to that date, but with Defined Benefit Srp credited service as at December 31, 2011. this amount is determined using the method and assumptions consistent with those used to determine the accounting information for the organization’s retirement plans and disclosed in the notes on pension benefits in the organization’s financial statements. Mr. Holden was terminated in January 2011 and was subsequently paid $909,427 from the Defined Benefit Supplemental retirement plan (DB-Srp).
Changes in Pension ObligationsThe Summary Compensation Table pension value reflects the current service cost, less required member contributions to the plan,
plus any changes in obligations resulting from compensation increases in excess of actuarial assumptions. Actual compensation
changes may vary from the assumed rate of compensation increase and will vary between each Executive from year to year.
Compensation Governance
Use of External Consultants in 2011 and 2010The Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors retained the services of Towers Watson to review and propose changes
to the existing executive compensation peer group, the Board of Directors peer group and associated pay levels, and to redesign the
long-term variable pay plan for the NEOs and the broader executive group at ENMAX. Towers Watson was selected in April 2010
after a formal Request for Proposal process was conducted by the Human Resources Committee. Towers Watson was subsequently
retained by Management to review and present recommendations for a new broad-based annual variable pay plan. Towers Watson
is ENMAX’s actuary and as such provides actuarial services for defined benefit pension administration and associated accounting/
finance services related to the pension plan. ENMAX participates in various industry-based compensation surveys run annually
by Towers Watson. The fees quoted in the following table reflects the year the fees were paid and may not align with when work
began/ended:

ENMAX 2011 GOVERNANCE REPORT68
Meridian Compensation Partners Inc.In March 2011, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors conducted a Request for Proposal process and retained
the services of Meridian Compensation Partners Inc. as an independent external compensation consultant to validate the following
practices:
• The appropriateness of developing a peer group against which to benchmark Executive and Board of Director total
compensation levels
• The appropriateness of the criteria that were developed against which peer group companies would be selected
• The prevalence of the practice of having a singular or separate peer groups for purpose of determining Executive and Board of
Directors compensation
• The appropriateness of ENMAX’s proposed approach on a long term variable pay plan design, given ENMAX’s ownership
structure, namely to:
• Be prospective in nature — with a three-year term
• To provide a long-term compensation element to the Executives who are critical to execution of ENMAX’s long-term strategy
• To include a financial and possibly a strategic measure
The fees paid in 2011 associated with this work are $51,389.88. There was no pre-existing or other management-directed work
performed by Meridian for ENMAX and no fees paid to Meridian in 2010. The only services Meridian provided to the Committee
were executive and director compensation services.
Mercer (Canada) LimitedThe Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors retained the services of Mercer (Canada) Limited to provide investment
consulting services related to the ENMAX Pension Plan (both for the Defined Benefit and the Defined Contribution Options). In
2010, ENMAX paid $195,264 for these services (inlcuding an asset/liability study and work related to making a defined benefit
fund manager change). In addition, management-directed work in 2010 totaled $7,392 for compensation-related salary surveys. In
2011, ENMAX paid $63,572 for pension consulting services and $6,552 for management-directed work for compensation related
salary surveys.
