The words "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "may," “should," "estimate," "project," "outlook," "forecast" or other similar words are used to identify such forward-looking information.

  4. Diversified assets Natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines, electric power plants, regulated and non-regulated gas storage Growth potential Robust investment in new energy infrastructure projects Strategic investment in existing assets Development expertise Excellent track record in developing projects from engineering, construction, and commercial perspectives TransCanada Corporation (TSX/NYSE: TRP) TransCanada

  5. Positions in virtually every major producing basin Pipelines serve premium markets 250 Bcf of regulated natural gas storage capacity Keystone oil pipeline (in construction), expected 1.1 million Bbl/d when complete Pipeline Assets TransCanada

  6. Ownership or interests in 19 plants, including some currently under development 11,700 megawatts Diversified portfolio primarily consists of low-cost, base-load generation 120 Bcf of unregulated natural gas storage capacity in Alberta Energy Assets TransCanada

  7. Proposed Bison Pipeline • Received FERC Certificate; awaiting notice to proceed • Interstate natural gas pipeline to connect Powder River Basin to the Midwest market • 302 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline and related facilities • Expected to interconnect with Northern Border Pipeline (50% owned by TC Pipelines LP) near Compressor Station 6 in Morton County, North Dakota • Design capacity of 477 MMcf/d, expandable to 1 Bcf/d • Contracted capacity of 407 MMcf/d for 10 years • Proposed in-service date of November, 2010 TransCanada

  8. Northern Border Pipeline • General partnership of TransCanada Pipelines, LP and ONEOK Partners, LP; TransCanada Northern Border Inc. is operator • 1,249 miles of 42-inch-diameter interstate natural gas pipeline with design capacity of 2.4 Bcf/d • Key link between Western Canada Sedimentary Basin and the Midwest market • Also accesses Williston and Powder River basins in the U.S. • Potential to access Rockies supply via proposed Bison Pipeline TransCanada

  9. 30- and 36-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline Projected 1,090,000 Bbl/d capacity (including Gulf Coast expansion) 910,000 Bbl/d committed for an average term of 18 years for 83% of total capacity Includes 380,000 Bbl/d of additional contracts for U.S. Gulf Coast expansion TransCanada interest 100% Approx. US$12 billion capital investment expected between 2008 and 2012 In-service 2009 – 2012 Keystone Pipeline and Expansions TransCanada

  10. Chinook and ZephyrElectric Transmission • Separate but complementary proposed high-voltage (500 kilovolt) direct current transmission lines • Each line would carry up to 3,000 megawatts of electricity • Both lines proposed to exceed 1,000 miles • Focus is on connecting wind resources in Montana and Wyoming to growing loads in the US Southwest • The projects would make long-term, low-cost, and stable-priced generation resources available to consumers in the West • The proposed projects enhance opportunities to meet state renewable portfolio standards • Zephyr recently conducted successful open season for all 3,000 megawatts of capacity TransCanada
