Our growth strategy

At TransAlta, growth is about more than expanding capacity — it’s about delivering responsible, reliable power solutions that meet the needs of our customers.

We are focused on opportunities that align with our long-term strategy: the redevelopment of legacy thermal sites, greenfield development, and project M&A opportunities across Alberta, Western Australia, and the western United States.

Our disciplined, customer-centric approach ensures that every project we advance supports a reliable, sustainable energy future.

Dynamic Pipeline Aligned to Customer Needs

TransAlta’s development pipeline is designed to meet evolving energy needs through a flexible, technology-agnostic strategy that integrates thermal fuels, renewables and storage solutions.

Current Development Highlights:

  • 530 MW of mid-stage projects progressing toward final investment decision
  • 4,288 MW of early-stage projects under initial development evaluation

Nova Clean Energy: A Strategic Growth Partnership

In 2025, TransAlta made a strategic investment in Nova Clean Energy, LLC, a renewable energy developer with a growing presence in the western United States. This partnership provides TransAlta with exclusive access to a best-in-class development team focused on projects in the U.S. including within the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) region.

Through this agreement, TransAlta has:

  • Exclusive options to purchase Nova’s advanced-stage clean energy projects
  • An opportunity to convert our position into equity
  • Access to a multi-technology pipeline of over 4 GW+ of high-quality projects
  • The ability to augment project economics through our energy marketing and growth teams

 

This investment strengthens TransAlta’s long-term pipeline while preserving capital discipline and enhancing our presence in WECC

Investing in the Future

Our strategy is responsible, pragmatic, and disciplined — prioritizing projects that provide near- and long-term benefits to our customers, our communities and our investors.

By advancing a dynamic pipeline of multi-technology solutions, TransAlta is powering the future of energy.
