Avantages
Good pay, good benefits. I enjoyed most of the people I worked with and the work that I did.
Inconvénients
TransAlta's long coal portfolio double dipped in volatile markets, with fossil plants serving thousands of MW at tar sands refineries. When oil prices dropped and refineries went idle, TransAlta suffered, doubled with the regulatory move away from coal. TransAlta has also not been able to benefit from the collapse in natural gas prices as much as gas heavy merchant companines like Calpine and NRG. Weakness in Pacific NW power prices, have also created challenges for the company.
