Pieter Krügel, MED CEO, commented: "We are thrilled with
the record high trading revenues achieved during January 2025,
marking our best month thus far since the start of the

this ongoing positive progress and performance."

"The new Growth Capital Partnership with Powertree will
complement the Project Finance Framework Agreement recently entered

Further details of Pyebridge Highlights:
Further to the Company's
announcement dated 13 January 2025, following the successful
completion of the 2nd 2.7MW genset refurbishment,
Pyebridge has 2x 2.7MW (i.e. 5.4MW) in optimal commercial
production and generating income, effectively doubling the site's
trading revenue generation capacity. Moreover, during January 2025,
GB intraday electricity prices reached a multi-year high of
£1,000/MWh mainly due to extended periods of low wind generation
and a cold-snap, which resulted in increased demand for and revenue
of flexible power plants, such as Pyebridge, to balance the
national grid and avoid blackouts.
The Pyebridge trading results for
December 2024 have now been reconciled and confirmed as total
trading revenue of c. £83k representing an 8% increase in the
preliminary revenue previously reported. This follows the receipt
of Embedded Benefits for December, which usually happens a month in
arrears.
Preliminary trading revenue for
January 2025 is currently tallied at c. £201k before the receipt of
Embedded Benefits. Pyebridge continued to outperform the market
during January, with achieved actual average electricity sales
price per MWh sold of c. £200 compared to the average Wholesale
Market price of c. £1181 over the same period, which
resulted in a 69% outperformance. 1The Wholesale Market price data was sourced
from Nordpool.
