Financial Officer</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, Nov. 13, 2018 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation
(&quot;TransAlta&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX: TA, NYSE: TAC) today announced the appointment of Christophe Dehout to
Chief Financial Officer. Effective immediately, he will replace Brett Gellner, who will continue to serve as Chief Strategy and
Investment Officer of TransAlta.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Mr. Dehout brings broad experience in power
generation and extensive knowledge of capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and corporate transformations.
Most recently Mr. Dehout was at Engie SA as Project Director and Deputy Head of Performance and Group Transformation where he contributed
to the successful closing of the transfer of Engie's LNG division to Total SA. Prior to that, Mr. Dehout held increasingly senior
roles at Engie where he saw first-hand the conversion of coal and gas power generation to renewables.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;We are excited that Christophe has joined
the TransAlta team as our new Chief Financial Officer,&quot; said Dawn Farrell, President and Chief Executive Officer. &quot;Christophe
brings extensive financial and strategic experience. This, combined with his deep knowledge of the global power market will be
pivotal as we transform the company and transition to clean power by 2025.&quot;</P>
