Active Energy Group plc

 

("Active Energy", the "Company" or the "Group")

Business Update

 

Active Energy Group plc (AIM: AEG, OTC: ATGVF), the renewable energy and
digital infrastructure company, provides a business update for the year ended
31 December 2025 (the "Period"). During the Period, the Group continued to
execute its strategy across four core pillars, all of which have progressed
positively.

 

CoalSwitch® and Clean Fuel Partnerships

CoalSwitch® remains a core strategic asset of the Group, offering a
lower-carbon alternative to coal for industrial and utility customers.

 

During the Period, the Company has been working with Indigenous Canadian
Energy ("ICE") to progress plans for a CoalSwitch® / ICE black pellet
production facility in Poland, targeting European markets seeking to
transition away from traditional coal while maintaining energy security.

 

Discussions are ongoing, and the Board believes this partnership-led approach
represents a capital-efficient route to commercial deployment of CoalSwitch®
at scale.

 

Rooftop Solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems ("BESS")

The Company continues to build out its distributed renewable energy platform,
focused on rooftop solar and battery storage solutions.

 

The Group has established a 30MW pipeline of rooftop solar projects across the
UK and, as announced on 3 December 2025, secured a new 25-year power purchase
agreement worth a total of £0.83 million with Cambridge City Football Club,
representing a key milestone in the execution of this strategy and supporting
the development of recurring, contracted revenue streams.

 

In parallel, planning and development work continues in relation to a BESS
project at Fornan Castle, South Wales.

 

The Company believes this project has the potential to become a strategically
important asset as demand for grid-balancing and energy storage continues to
increase.

 

UAE Crypto Mining and AI Hosting

The Company has made significant progress in developing energy-efficient
digital infrastructure assets in the UAE, focused on high-performance
computing ("HPC") for, amongst other things, AI-hosting and crypto mining.

 

As announced on 1 October 2025, the Company established a scalable development
pipeline totalling up to 300MW across multiple phased sites. This pipeline is
designed to capitalise on the UAE's access to ultra-low-cost power, surplus
grid capacity and a supportive regulatory environment.

 

Phase One comprises an 8MW facility, which is in the final stages of
commissioning and is on track to complete by mid-February 2026. As announced
on 16 December 2025, 60% of the facility's capacity has been pre‑sold, with
the remaining 40% to be sold once the facility is complete. The facility has
been designed to support both AI/HPC hosting and crypto mining, providing
flexibility to optimise utilisation and returns as market conditions evolve.

 

Based on current assumptions, once fully operational the 8MW facility is
expected to generate approximately US$3.8 million in annualised revenue, with
an estimated gross margin of approximately 50%. These estimates are subject to
prevailing market conditions, asset utilisation and operating performance.

 

It is the Company's intention that cash flows generated from this initial
phase will be reinvested directly into the business, supporting the build-out
of the next planned 25MW expansion, which is already in progress and expected
to be scaled once the site is fully operational.

 

Further phases within the wider 300MW pipeline remain under active review and
discussion.

 

Digital Asset Treasury Strategy

The Company has adopted a disciplined digital asset treasury strategy as part
of its broader capital management approach. Approximately 30% of the Group's
working capital has been allocated to a diversified crypto strategy.

In addition, the Board has agreed that any excess in-house crypto mining
capacity may be utilised to mine and hold Bitcoin for the Group's treasury.
This approach is intended to provide a long-term store of value and act as a
hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, while maintaining
appropriate governance and risk controls.

 

The Board continues to monitor market conditions closely and believes this
measured strategy provides additional optionality without compromising
financial discipline.

 

Outlook

The Board is encouraged by the progress made across all four strategic pillars
and believes that the Group is increasingly well positioned to deliver
sustainable growth.

 

While remaining mindful of broader macroeconomic and digital asset market
volatility, Active Energy's diversified strategy - spanning renewable energy
and clean fuels, digital infrastructure and digital asset treasury management
- provides resilience and multiple pathways to value creation.

 

The Board looks forward to providing further updates as projects move into
operational and revenue-generating phases.
