ZENITH ENERGY LTD.

("Zenith" or the "Company")

Acquisition of Ready-to-Build Solar Energy Project

Zenith Energy Ltd. ("Zenith" or the "Company") (LSE: ZEN; OSE: ZENA; PINK MARKET: ZENAF), the listed international energy production and development company, is pleased to announce that it has acquired a Ready-to-Build solar energy production project located in the region of Puglia in Italy (the "Acquisition"), by way of its Italian subsidiary created for the purpose of managing its new solar energy portfolio, WESOLAR S.R.L. ("WESOLAR").

Acquisition Highlights

·      The Acquisition will have a power output of approximately 3 MWp.

·      It is strategically located next to the A14 motorway and is approximately 500 meters from a local industrial zone.

·      Connected to a nearby E-distribuzione medium-voltage substation, ensuring efficient integration into the local grid.

·     Situated in a region known for its strong solar irradiance, the Acquisition is expected to benefit from high energy productivity. Classified as "Ready-to-Build", the project has already obtained all necessary permits for immediate commencement of construction.

·      The Acquisition spans a total of 3.5 hectares and was acquired for EUR 280,000, equating to a cost of EUR 80,000 per hectare.

 Andrea Cattaneo, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 "Zenith's recent acquisitions clearly demonstrate the successful execution of our growth strategy as we work toward our goal of building a 20 MWp solar energy portfolio by the end of 2025. In consideration of the several larger acquisitions under active review, it is likely we shall significantly surpass this target.

The acquisition strategy is designed to establish a sustainable, forward-looking foundation for long-term, organic revenue generation and profitability. We intend to finance this growth through favourable bank lending terms, providing the Company with the financial flexibility to redefine its strategic direction following the termination of its energy production portfolio in Tunisia.

Today's acquisition is fully permitted and situated near a grid connection point-an essential factor for the efficient sale of electricity. It should be underlined that this is a conventional solar energy site, not an agrivoltaic installation, which makes it a simpler and more cost-effective project to develop.

We have a strong pipeline of upcoming developments across multiple areas and look ahead with great optimism."
