PROFILE |
 |
TransAlta is transforming itself from one of Canada's largest electric utilities into one of the nation's largest independent power producers. The company has about 8,000 MW of generating capacity, and it trades and markets electricity and gas in Canada and other countries. Most of TransAlta's generating capacity is coal-fired; the remainder comes from gas and hydroelectric plants. TransAlta has sold its regulated distribution business and is selling its transmission assets to focus on power generation and marketing. The company has operations in Australia, Canada, Mexico, and the US, and it is expanding through acquisitions.
