<P STYLE="font: bold 24pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">TransAlta Completes Second Off-Coal Conversion
- Another Major Milestone in its Phase Out of Coal</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, AB, July 19, 2021 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation
(TSX: TA) (NYSE: TAC) (&quot;TransAlta&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) announced today that it has completed the second of three planned
coal-to-gas conversions at its Alberta Thermal power generation facilities near Wabamun, Alberta.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;The full conversion of Keephills Unit 2 (&quot;KH2&quot;)
from thermal coal to natural gas is another significant milestone for TransAlta as it transitions off coal. We are pleased to have completed
another step in our plan towards 100 per cent clean electricity by end of 2021 in Alberta,&quot; said John Kousinioris, President and
CEO of TransAlta. &quot;Converting to natural gas from coal maintains our current generation capacity and reduces our CO<SUB>2</SUB> emissions
by more than half from approximately 1.04 tonnes CO<SUB>2</SUB>e per MWh to approximately 0.51 tonnes CO<SUB>2</SUB>e per MWh in 2021.
This not only highlights TransAlta's commitment to meet Alberta's need for safe, reliable and low-cost electricity but also our commitment
to meet our sustainability goals focused on clean electricity generation.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">With $31.5 million invested in the KH2 conversion
and another $64.7 million for system upgrades, gas infrastructure and maintenance projects, the over $96 million investment in the project
was also a significant boost to the economy, locally and across Canada. At its peak, nearly 800 additional jobs were created to complete
the KH2 conversion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The conversion of KH2 to gas is the Company's second
conversion project following the successful conversion of Sundance Unit 6 (&quot;SD6&quot;) in February 2021. Both SD6 and KH2 will maintain
the same generator nameplate capacity of 401 MW and 395 MW, respectively. Later this year, the Company will also complete the conversion
of Keephills Unit 3.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">This project is another step on TransAlta's path to
achieving our target to reduce 60 per cent, or 19.7 million tonnes, of annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 over 2015 levels and achieve
carbon neutrality by 2050. By meeting our 2030 target, our performance will exceed Canada's Paris Agreement level targets of 40 - 45 per
cent reduction by 2030. To date, TransAlta has delivered 25 million tonnes of annual greenhouse gas reductions, representing approximately
8 per cent of Canada's goal of reducing between 292 &ndash; 329 million tonnes from 2005 levels by 2030. This achievement, coupled with
TransAlta's diversified generating portfolio, including extensive hydro and wind assets, positions the Company to be a highly competitive
provider of low carbon electricity.</P>
