·    Average trading revenue per MW in production per month equates to c. £26,500 for the 7-month period July 2024 to January 2025 (excluding Embedded Benefits income for January 2025 and Capacity Market gross margin income payments for the 7-month period);

·    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; and

·    Following the completion of the site's 3rd and final 2.7MW genset refurbishment which is being planned, Pyebridge will have its full 8.1MW generation capacity in optimal commercial production.

 

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 refurbishment programme at Pyebridge. We are excited to build on this ongoing positive progress and performance."

 

"Further, we are continuing to progress the definitive wider funding agreement to support and enhance the Growth Capital Partnership with Powertree as recently announced, which we expect to execute during Q1 2025."

 

"The new Growth Capital Partnership with Powertree will complement the Project Finance Framework Agreement recently entered into with RiverFort. The combined support of RiverFort and Powertree will bolster and fast-track MED's strategy to build a portfolio of 300+ MWs, to establish our position as the first and leading publicly listed flexible power generation company in the UK."

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.
