<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">CALGARY, Alberta (Sept 4, 2012) - TransAlta Corporation (TransAlta) (TSX: TA; NYSE: TAC) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary has entered into an agreement with Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. (Fortescue) (ASX: FMG) to acquire its 125 megawatt (MW) dual-fuel Solomon power station for U.S. $318 million.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&#147;This acquisition represents a significant expansion of our energy business in Western Australia and provides TransAlta with a new valued customer,&#148; said Dawn Farrell, TransAlta President and CEO. &#147;It fits with our strategy of being a leading behind-the-fence generator in that region and provides us with a broader platform for future growth.&#148;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">The Solomon power station will be fully contracted with Fortescue under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and will support their iron ore mining operations in the Solomon Hub, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The initial term of the PPA is 16 years after which Fortescue will have the option to either extend the PPA by an additional five years under the same terms, or to acquire the facility from TransAlta for a value equivalent to the five year extension.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">The power station is currently under construction and is expected to be commissioned in Q4 2012. The acquisition is expected to generate unlevered after-tax returns in the low double digits and pre-financing cash flows of approximately $40 million per year. Under International Financial Reporting Standards, TransAlta will account for the facility as a finance lease.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:11.0pt;">The acquisition is expected to close by the end of September, 2012 and is subject to customary regulatory approvals.</font></p>
