<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><I>TransAlta Renewables Inc. owns a portfolio
of renewable power generation facilities. TransAlta Renewables&#8217; objective is to (i) create stable, consistent returns for
investors through the ownership of contracted renewable power generation assets that provide stable cash flow through long-term
power purchase agreements with creditworthy counterparties, including TransAlta; (ii) pursue and capitalize on strategic growth
opportunities in the renewable power generation sector; and (iii) pay out a portion of cash available for distribution to the shareholders
of TransAlta Renewables on a monthly basis. TransAlta Renewables currently holds 29 wind and hydroelectric power generation facilities,
including the Wyoming wind&nbsp;farm, having an aggregate installed generating
capacity of 1,378 MW, in which TransAlta Renewables has a net ownership interest of approximately 1,256 MW. TransAlta Renewables'
power generating capacity is among the largest of any publicly-traded renewable independent power producer (&quot;IPP&quot;) in
Canada, with more wind power generating capacity than any other Canadian publicly-traded IPP. TransAlta Renewables' strategy is
focused on the efficient operation of its portfolio of renewable power generation assets and expanding its asset base through the
acquisition of additional renewable power generation facilities in operation or under construction. </I></P>
