Regarding the Sundance B and C Power Purchase Arrangements Termination Payment</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, Aug. 26, 2019 /CNW/ -&nbsp;TransAlta
Corporation (&quot;TransAlta&quot;&nbsp;or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX: TA; NYSE: TAC)&nbsp;announced today that it was successful
in its arbitration with the Balancing Pool for the remaining payment related to the termination of the Sundance B and C Power Purchase
Arrangements (&quot;PPA&quot;). &nbsp;As a result of the arbitration decision, the Company will receive the full amount it had
been seeking to recover, being equal to $58.8 million (including GST payable) from the Balancing Pool, plus interest.&nbsp; This
payment relates to TransAlta's historical investments in certain mining and corporate assets that the Company believed should have
been included in the net book value calculation of the PPA's that had been disputed by the Balancing Pool.</P>
