Capital Power (CPX) is an Edmonton-based power generation company with assets primarily in Alberta and the United States. Unlike regulated utilities, Capital Power operates in competitive electricity markets, which introduces merchant price exposure alongside its contracted revenues. CPX targets annual dividend growth linked to distributable cash flow.
Canadian Planning Notes
- 1CPX's merchant power exposure in Alberta differs from the fully regulated utility model of FTS or CU; payout sustainability is more sensitive to electricity price cycles.
- 2Eligible dividends qualify for the tax credit; DRIP is available.
- 3Compare CPX's contracted vs. merchant revenue mix in each earnings release before planning income around stated dividend growth guidance.
