<P STYLE="font: bold 24pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">TransAlta and Meta Announce 200 MW Renewable
Power Purchase Agreement and Launch of the Horizon Hill Wind Project</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">CALGARY, AB, April 5, 2022 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation
(&quot;TransAlta&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX: TA) (NYSE: TAC) announced today that it has entered into a long-term renewable
energy purchase agreement with Meta, formerly known as the Facebook company, for the offtake of 100 per cent of the generation from its
200 MW Horizon Hill Wind Power Project (&quot;Horizon Hill&quot; or &quot;facility&quot;), to be located in Logan County, Oklahoma. Under
this agreement, Meta will receive both renewable electricity and environmental attributes. This long-term contract with Meta enables TransAlta
to add the 200 MW Horizon Hill Wind Project to its growing US wind generation fleet.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;Since 2020, Meta has supported its global operations
with 100 per cent wind and solar energy. As our footprint grows, it's key that we find strong partners who can help us continue to meet
that goal by bringing new renewable energy to the grid,&quot; said Urvi Parekh, head of renewable energy at Meta. &quot;We are excited
to partner with TransAlta to make this 200 MW project a reality.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;TransAlta is excited to partner with Meta to
make Horizon Hill a reality.&nbsp;The delivery of clean, low-cost, reliable energy from Horizon Hill supports Meta's sustainability goals
and provides another excellent opportunity to expand our wind fleet in the United States,&quot; said John Kousinioris, President and Chief
Executive Officer of TransAlta. &quot;Horizon Hill brings us to 40 per cent of our target of adding 2 GW of new renewables to our fleet
by 2025 under our Clean Electricity Growth Plan.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The facility will consist of a total of 34 Vestas
turbines with construction expected to begin in Q4 2022 and a target commercial operation date in the second half of 2023. TransAlta will
construct, operate and own the facility. Total project capital is estimated at approximately US$290 million to US$310 million and is expected
to be financed with existing liquidity and tax equity. Over 90 per cent of the project costs are captured under executed fixed price turbine
supply agreements with Vestas and executed engineering, procurement, and construction agreement with Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives
(&quot;IEA&quot;). The facility is expected to generate total annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (&quot;EBITDA&quot;)
of approximately US$27 million to US$30 million including production tax credits.&nbsp; It is expected that Horizon Hill will remain a
TransAlta project.</P>

Some of the factors that could cause such differences include: the effects of weather, catastrophes and public health crises, including

</I></B><I>This news release contains references to financial measures that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (&quot;IFRS&quot;), as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board, including EBITDA, and such measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. These non-IFRS measures
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Certain additional disclosures
for these non-IFRS financial measures have been incorporated by reference and can be found in TransAlta's Management's Discussion and
Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2021, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission website
at www.sec.gov, and on TransAlta's website under the Investor Centre section. TransAlta utilizes these measures in managing the business,
including for performance measurement, capital allocation and valuation purposes and believes that providing these performance measures
on a supplemental basis to its IFRS results is helpful to investors in assessing the overall performance of TransAlta's businesses. TransAlta
cautions readers that these non-IFRS financial measures or other financial metrics may differ from the calculations disclosed by other
businesses and, as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers and entities.</I></P>
