In 2020, the Company's ownership per cent decreased from 60.4 per cent in 2019 to 60.1 per cent due to TransAlta Renewables issuing approximately 1 million common shares under their Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP"). The Company did not participate in this plan. In the fourth quarter of 2020, TransAlta Renewables suspended the DRIP in respect of any future declared dividends. B. TA Cogen
