Calgary, Alta. – ENMAX Corporation (ENMAX) today released its financial results for 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, ENMAX's comparable net earnings increased to $316 million from $274 million in 2022. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA¹) increased to $829 million from $737 million in 2022. Net loss for 2023 was $16 million, largely due to unrealized loss on commodities.

• ENMAX invested $657 million of capital expenditures in Alberta and Maine to ensure continued delivery of outstanding safety performance, system reliability and high-quality generation availability.
• Some of the major projects include the replacement of Substation No. 1 in downtown Calgary, continued support of The City of Calgary’s Green Line light rail transit project and advanced metering infrastructure at Versant Power. Notably, 92 per cent of total capital expenditures were invested in the regulated businesses.
• ENMAX invested $3.8 million in community support in Alberta and Maine, with a primary focus on funding to partner agencies to support energy affordability programs, including essential needs funding, energy efficiency education and conservation programs.

• ENMAX is proud to have its outstanding work and safety culture recognized by being named among Alberta's Top Employers for the sixth consecutive year, as well as receiving a President's Award for Safety Excellence and the 2023 Sustainable Electricity Award from Electricity Canada.

“Investing wisely and managing costs carefully have given ENMAX a solid financial base, which enables us to deliver safe, reliable power to our customers,” said ENMAX President and CEO Mark Poweska. “We will keep working with efficiency and prudence, always prioritizing safety, offering value and meeting the expectations of our customers—today and tomorrow.”

In conjunction with the release of its 2023 financial results, ENMAX declared a dividend to its shareholder, The City of Calgary, of $95 million.
