Acquisition of 50% Interest in Early-Stage Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Development Project</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">CALGARY, AB, Feb. 16,
2023 /CNW/ - TransAlta Corporation (&quot;TransAlta&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (TSX: TA) (NYSE: TAC) announced today that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 50% interest in the Tent Mountain Renewable Energy Complex (&quot;Tent Mountain&quot;
or the &quot;Project&quot;), an early-stage 320 MW pumped hydro energy storage development project, located in southwest Alberta, currently
owned by Montem Resources Limited (&quot;Montem&quot;) (ASX:MR1). TransAlta and Montem will form a partnership and jointly manage the
Project, with TransAlta acting as project developer. The acquisition includes the land rights, fixed assets and intellectual property
associated with the pumped hydro development project. The Project leverages Montem's existing assets at Tent Mountain, which include
large legacy water reservoirs from past mining operations.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">Pumped hydro is an
environmentally sustainable solution for managing the intermittency of increased renewable electricity generation in the Province of
Alberta; the characteristics of the Tent Mountain site are rare and present a unique opportunity to provide 15 hours of energy storage
capability for the Alberta market. The Project is strategically located on private, industrial zoned land, including an existing upper
reservoir that supports a cost competitive pumped hydro project compared to other similar projects. The Project has already completed
key technical and environmental work including a hydrology assessment, with additional geotechnical analysis being planned in 2023 to
further advance the design of the Project. The Project will be developed over the next four years, with construction targeted to start
as early as 2026 with a commercial operation date between 2028 and 2030, all subject to regulatory, commercial and engineering considerations.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">TransAlta has owned,
operated, and constructed hydro facilities for more than 110 years and this Project offers similar long-term advantages as TransAlta's
other Alberta hydro facilities. These long-term advantages include that the Project will have a life span of greater than 80 years, which
will substantially reduce its operating costs compared to other technologies over the life of the Project. The Project's closed loop
system will result in minimal impacts to Alberta's natural river system and will have the ability to provide flexible, firm clean power
to customers at scale. The Project will actively seek an offtake agreement over the development period for the energy and environmental
attributes generated by the facility; the Project will provide a unique value proposition to customers seeking carbon free electricity.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">&quot;The Tent Mountain
Renewable Energy Complex is a unique development opportunity for our Company and the Province of Alberta. The Project can support the
reliability of the Alberta grid with a proven technology that is non-emitting and has a significantly larger capacity and duration than
other currently available storage options. We believe long duration storage projects, like Tent Mountain, are essential to support the
reliability of the grid in Alberta as wind and solar penetration increase on the path to net-zero electricity,&quot; said John Kousinioris,
President and Chief Executive Officer of TransAlta.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">&quot;We are thrilled
to be entering into this partnership with TransAlta to develop the Tent Mountain Renewable Energy Complex. TransAlta has been operating
in the Alberta power market for more than 110 years and brings many skill sets which are complementary to Montem's,&quot; said Peter
Doyle, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Montem.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-size: 12pt">TransAlta will pay
Montem approximately $8 million upon closing the transaction with additional payments of up to $17 million (approximately $25 million
total) contingent on the achievement of specific development and commercial milestones. The acquisition also includes the intellectual
property associated with a 100 MW offsite green hydrogen electrolyser and a 100 MW offsite wind development project. The closing of the
transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt by Montem of shareholder approval, with closing expected
to occur in March 2023. The Project will be independent of TransAlta's existing Alberta hydro assets and will be managed through this
partnership. TransAlta bears no exposure to reclamation obligations nor to any environmental liabilities arising from Montem's historical
mining operations at the Tent Mountain site.</FONT></P>

statements&quot;, within the meaning of applicable United States securities laws, including the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 (collectively referred to herein as &quot;forward-looking statements). In some cases, forward-looking statements can

to access to any government grants or incentives; inability to secure qualified personnel or staff in regard to the development, construction
or operation of the Project; supply chain constraints and limitations; inability to obtain required regulatory approvals; an event of
bankruptcy or insolvency of Montem; ; and other risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company's materials filed with the securities
regulatory authorities from time to time and as also set forth in the Company's MD&amp;A and Annual Information Form for the year ended
Dec. 31, 2021. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect TransAlta's expectations
only as of the date of this news release. The purpose of the financial outlooks contained in this news release are to give the reader
information about management's current expectations and plans and readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate
