What We Do

TransAlta is a power generation and wholesale marketing company based in Calgary, Alberta.

We generate electricity fuelled by coal, natural gas, hydro, wind and geothermal resources, and sell it to wholesale customers in various regions of Canada, the United States, Mexico and Australia. Our focus is to provide our customers with a reliable, low-cost source of power. For more than 90 years, we've been a responsible operator and a proud contributor to the communities where we work and live.

In 2004, our net generation capacity in operation, under construction or development was 8,337 MW, and we employed more than 2,500 people.
