Dividend Information

Common Stock Dividends

Dividends are paid monthly as determined by the Board. Dividends are at the discretion of the Board. In determining the dividend, the Board considers the Corporation’s financial performance, its results of operations, cash flow and needs with respect to financing ongoing operations and growth balanced against returning capital to shareholders. The board continues to focus on building sustainable earnings and cash flow growth.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan Suspended

On May 31, 2018, the Corporation implemented a dividend reinvestment plan for Canadian holders in common shares of the Corporation. Commencing with the dividend payable on July 31, 2018, eligible shareholders could elect to automatically reinvest in monthly dividends into additional common shares of the Corporation. The price per common share under the DRIP was 98 per cent of the average market price of the common shares for the five trading days on which not less than 500 common shares of the Corporation are traded immediately prior to the dividend payment date. Eligible shareholders were not required to participate in the DRIP.

The Corporation is suspending its DRIP in respect of any future declared dividends until further notice. Accordingly, the dividend payable on Oct. 30, 2020 to shareholders of record on Oct. 15, 2020 will be the last dividend payment eligible for reinvestment by participating shareholders under the DRIP. Subsequent dividends will be paid only in cash. Upon reinstatement of the DRIP, plan participants enrolled in the DRIP at the time of its suspension who remain enrolled at the time of its reinstatement will automatically resume participation in the DRIP.

Eligible Dividends For Canadian Tax Purposes

TransAlta Renewables hereby advises all shareholders that all dividends paid on its common shares will be designated as “eligible dividends” for Canadian income tax purposes. This designation will apply until a notification of change is posted on this website. For more information regarding the designation of dividends, please refer to the Canadian Revenue Agency release dated December 20, 2006. If you have any questions regarding the taxation of eligible dividends, please contact your local office of the Canada Revenue Agency.

The dividends on the common shares are declared and paid at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  It is the practice of TransAlta Renewables to pay dividends on its common shares on or about the last business day of each calendar month, to shareholders of record as of the close of the mid-month business day of each calendar month. Dividends are paid in Canadian dollars.
