RNS Number : 1476I EnergyPathways PLC 19 November 2025
19 November 2025
EnergyPathways plc
("EnergyPathways" or the "Company")
Cooperation Agreement with Siemens Energy for Developing Compressed Air Energy
Storage and Hydrogen Power Systems
EnergyPathways (AIM: EPP), the UK energy transition company, is pleased to
announce that it has signed a non-binding cooperation agreement (the
"Agreement") with Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co. KG ("Siemens Energy")
for the development of long-duration energy storage (LDES) systems based on
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology, integrated with
hydrogen-compatible power systems.
The Agreement outlines a global framework for collaboration on the development
and possible delivery of a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system to
effectively utilise excess offshore wind or excess green power that could be
deployed across a variety of locations worldwide. Siemens Energy is a leading
global energy technology and engineering company in this field.
Under the Agreement, EnergyPathways and Siemens Energy will form a joint
taskforce. Siemens Energy will provide its world-class engineering
capabilities and technology portfolio, while EnergyPathways will contribute
its proprietary LDES geo-storage expertise, intellectual property, and energy
projects and markets expertise.
The partnership will focus on designing and developing an efficient,
cost-competitive long-duration CAES system enabling multi-day operation and
flexible, low-carbon, power generation. The aim is to design a modular and
scalable system.
The partnership will initially target opportunities to support the UK's clean
power and energy security goals, beginning with EnergyPathways' planned MESH
project's LDES and flexible low carbon power system, in the East Irish Sea and
Cumbria.
The Agreement is non-binding and sets out the basis for entering into formal
long-term or partnership contracts that would be concluded in due course.
Ben Clube, CEO of EnergyPathways, said:
"This cooperation agreement with Siemens Energy demonstrates our commitment to
partnering with world leaders in clean energy technology and engineering.
"The Agreement positions the Company as a leader in the development of LDES
with multi-day power supply which can harness wasted renewable power at scale.
Affordable multi-day LDES is the missing piece of the puzzle that can deliver
affordable and reliable power supply within renewables dominated grids."
"In partnership with Siemens Energy, we aim to design and develop a modular
multi-day LDES system that can be scaled and deployed around the world. This
has the potential to make renewables dominated grid systems more affordable
for consumers and taxpayers.
"Our MESH project is planned as the first to be delivered under this
Agreement."
About Siemens Energy
Siemens Energy is a global leader in energy technology, driving the transition
to a more sustainable world by developing innovative systems for power
generation, transmission, and storage. With a comprehensive portfolio spanning
conventional and renewable technologies, the company operates in over 90
countries with around 103,000 employees and generated €39.1 billion in
revenue in fiscal year 2025.
About MESH
MESH will be a new, large scale, energy storage and decarbonisation facility
that is expected to provide a secure and dependable supply of affordable
low-carbon energy for the UK market for over 25 years.
The MESH integrated energy system solution comprises; large-scale Long
Duration Energy Storage ("LDES"), flexible low-carbon power capacity and
low-carbon hydrogen and graphite production with the potential to branch into
low-carbon ammonia production. MESH will connect its LDES integrated storage
system using existing infrastructure to the UK grid and nearby offshore wind
capacity to help harness value from some of the billions of pounds of the UK's
wasted wind power.
The MESH system is designed to capture and store curtailed offshore wind power
in offshore salt caverns as compressed air. The MESH energy storage system
combines associated large-scale hydrogen, thermal and natural gas storage
capacity in geo-storage features (the salt caverns). During periods of low
renewable energy availability, the LDES stored energy resources will be
utilised to generate low-carbon flexible power for the UK's grid via
compressed air expansion, thermal energy and hydrogen-compatible gas turbine
systems to generate electricity.
The MESH facility will also produce affordable low-carbon hydrogen using
methane pyrolysis technology for which EnergyPathways has exclusive rights of
use within the UK. The hydrogen can be used to further decarbonise the MESH
flexible power generation system using its hydrogen compatible gas turbine
system. The by-product of the MESH hydrogen production facility is a
high-grade form of synthetic graphite.
In addition to supplying dispatchable low-carbon electricity to the grid,
MESH-produced hydrogen can support the UK's emerging Project Union hydrogen
network, contributing to broader emissions reductions across the energy
system.
The MESH project is targeted to be operational by 2030, subject to government
approvals and financing, in order to contribute to the Government's 2030 Clean
Power ambitions. EnergyPathways aims to play its role in supporting the
Government in accelerating the UK's energy transition.
