Pembina offtake from Garden Plain Wind Project

Consisting of 26 Siemens-Gamesa SGRE SG-145 turbines, TransAlta began work on the project in October 2021. It is expected to reach commercial operation in August 2022.

On May 3, 2021, TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta") announced that it entered into a long-term power purchase agreement ("PPA") with Pembina Pipeline Corporation ("Pembina") for the offtake of 100 MW from its proposed 130 MW Garden Plain Wind Power Project ("Garden Plain"), to be located approximately 30 km north of Hanna, Alberta.

Under the 18-year term of the agreement, which commences on the commercial operation date of the project, Pembina will receive both renewable electricity and environmental attributes.

The PPA with Pembina provides the foundation that supports the investment in the 130 MW Garden Plain project. The remaining 30 MW offtake from the facility is being marketed to commercial and industrial electricity customers looking to reduce the carbon intensity of their operations. To the extent contracts for the remaining 30 MW are not secured, the excess energy will be offered into the merchant wholesale power market in Alberta.

Pembina is a leading transportation and midstream service provider that has been serving North America's energy industry for more than 65 years.

TransAlta owns, operates and develops a diverse fleet of electrical power generation assets in Canada, the United States and Australia with a focus on long-term shareholder value.
