<P STYLE="font: bold 24pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">TransAlta Receives Notice of Mangrove
Partner's Intention to Nominate Dissident Board Candidates</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, March 25, 2019 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation
(&quot;TransAlta&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX:TA) (NYSE:TAC) said today it has received notice under its Advance Notice
By-Law that Mangrove Partners intends to nominate five candidates for election to the Company's Board of Directors at TransAlta's
upcoming Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the &quot;Meeting&quot;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">TransAlta said it will review Mangrove's notice,
consider the suitability of its nominees and communicate more fully with its shareholder in due course.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Earlier today, TransAlta announced a strategic
$750 million investment by Brookfield Renewable Partners and its institutional partners (collectively &quot;Brookfield&quot;) that
crystalizes the value of the Company's Hydro Assets, enhances its financial position to execute its strategy, and accelerates the
opportunity to return capital to shareholders. This investment will ensure TransAlta will transition to 100% clean energy by 2025.
In addition, Brookfield has committed to purchase TransAlta common shares on the open market to increase its share ownership in
TransAlta to 9%.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">As part of today's announcement, TransAlta
said it will include two experienced Brookfield nominees, Harry Goldgut and Richard Legault, as well as Robert Flexon, former CEO
of Dynegy, on its slate of directors for election at the Meeting.&nbsp; Mr. Goldgut, Mr. Legault and Mr. Flexon have impressive
track records in renewable energy, thermal energy, infrastructure and value creation in rapidly evolving electricity markets.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Finally, in addition to bringing this exceptional
expertise onto the TransAlta board, TransAlta also announced it and Brookfield will form a joint operating committee, for a period
of six years, to focus on optimizing the operations and maximizing the value of TransAlta's Hydro Assets. The committee will consist
of two Brookfield members, who are not nominees to the Board, with expertise in hydro facility management and two TransAlta members.
Combined with work TransAlta has already done with an internationally respected management consultancy firm to streamline its operations
resulting in additions to annual gross margin and reductions to annual operating expenses and capital by approximately $70 million,
the Company continues to strengthen its operational performance at the same time that it is advancing its transition to clean energy
and growth strategy.</P>
