<P STYLE="font: 14pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><B>Calgary, AB (July 28, 2014)</B> &#8211; TransAlta Corporation
(TSX: TA; NYSE: TAC) has agreed to build, own and operate a 150 MW combined cycle gas power station in South Hedland, Western Australia
to supply power to Horizon Power, a state owned utility, and to The Pilbara Infrastructure Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Fortescue Metals Group (&#8220;Fortescue&#8221;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The project is estimated to cost approximately AUD $570 million
which includes the cost of acquiring existing equipment from Horizon Power. The project will be built on an existing site at Boodarie
Industrial Estate and will be one of the most efficient power stations in the region.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&#8220;We set out to grow our business in Australia three
years ago. By focusing on serving large industrial customers, we&#8217;ve now been able to invest close to a billion dollars in
Australia in assets with stable long-term contracts,&#8221; said Dawn Farrell, TransAlta&#8217;s President and Chief Executive
officer. &#8220;This latest investment will have a power plant ready to serve a new customer, Horizon Power, and an existing customer,
Fortescue in the Pilbara region of Western Australia by 2017.&#8221;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The development has been fully contracted under 25-year power purchase
agreements (PPAs) with Horizon Power and Fortescue, and may be expanded to accommodate additional customers at later dates. The
station will supply Horizon Power&#8217;s customers in the Pilbara region as well as Fortescue&#8217;s port operations. The combined
cycle gas power station is expected to be commissioned in 2017, creating approximately 250 jobs during construction and 20 jobs
when in full operation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&#8220;We are very pleased to have Horizon Power and Fortescue Metals Group as anchor customers,&#8221;
said Dawn Farrell, adding that she plans to speak in more detail about the South Hedland project during TransAlta&#8217;s second
quarter results conference call on July 30.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">TransAlta has been operating in Western Australia since 1996. With
six facilities totaling 425 MW of generating capacity and a natural gas pipeline in development, TransAlta has proven its ability
to provide cost-effective reliable power to remote operations in the region. By 2017, the business in Western Australia will grow
to 16 per cent of TransAlta&#8217;s EBITDA.</P>
