ACO.Y ATCO Ltd

ATCO and its people through their innovative ATCO Employees Participating in
Communities (EPIC) fundraising program will donate a record $2.31 million to 450
charity and community causes across Alberta in 2008, an increase of more than
$600,000 over 2007.


The funding includes more than $1 million contributed corporately to increase
money pledged by the people of ATCO during the employee-led program that touches
every corner of the province. A record number of employees participated in ATCO
EPIC.


The record contribution was announced in Calgary and Edmonton today at special
celebrations that brought together key volunteers from all 10 ATCO companies and
representatives from benefiting community and charity organizations.


"ATCO's people through record fundraising efforts are again making an increased
contribution to support the quality of life we enjoy in communities across
Alberta," said Siegfried Kiefer, Managing Director, ATCO Utilities and Chief
Information Officer. "This funding of more than $2.3 million truly showcases
their commitment to the communities where they work and live in every corner of
the province."


ATCO EPIC is unique in that it allows ATCO staff to personally donate to
community, health and welfare and charitable initiatives of their choice with
the corporation further adding funds to match their donations. By absorbing
administration costs internally, ATCO ensures that 100 per cent of funds go
directly to benefiting organizations.


ATCO Group is a worldwide organization of companies with more than 7,800 people
actively engaged in Power Generation, Utilities (natural gas and electricity
transmission and distribution) and Global Enterprises, with companies active in
industrial manufacturing, technology, logistics and energy services.
