and MED Shares Lock-In Agreement Reminder
Mast Energy Developments PLC is pleased to announce an update regarding its Pyebridge flexible generation asset, the highlights and details of which are outlined below.
Pyebridge Highlights:
· Preliminary trading revenue for November 2024 of c. £58,000 before receipt of Embedded Benefits;
· Final trading revenue tally for October 2024 increased by 11% to c. £72,000 (up from c. £65k previously reported) following receipt of Embedded Benefits;
· Average trading revenue per MW per month for period July to November 2024 equates to c. £24k (excluding Capacity Market gross margin income payments);
· Electricity sales price achieved during November outperformed market with c. 41%;
· Second refurbished 2.7MW genset successfully reinstalled on site and commissioning in progress, with commercial production starting shortly thereafter; and
· Following the completion of the 2nd 2.7MW genset, Pyebridge will have 2x 2.7MW (i.e. 5.4MW) in optimal commercial production and generating income, effectively doubling the site's trading revenue generation capacity.
Pieter Krügel, MED CEO, commented: "We are delighted with the ongoing positive progress and performance of Pyebridge since the start of the refurbishment programme a few months ago. The commercial trading and operational performance of the first refurbished 2.7MW genset since its commissioning in July has proven that the overhaul programme is successful. With the commissioning of the refurbished 2nd 2.7MW genset near completion, we are looking forward to doubling the Pyebridge site's capacity and revenue generation. We are expecting to commence with the refurbishment of the third and final 2.7MW genset at Pyebridge soon, and once completed, the site will have its full 8.1MW capacity in optimal commercial production and generating maximum revenue."
"Further, we are excited about the recently announced project finance framework agreement entered into in partnership with RiverFort Global Capital. RiverFort has been a key pillar to MED and the new agreement is a significant step to support and fast track MED's strategy to grow its portfolio of MWs in production to 300+ MWs. The Company appreciates RiverFort's ongoing and growing support."
