Update on Longer Duration Energy Storage Demonstration (LODES) Competition

Phase 1 complete, funding decision for Phase 2 expected soon

Further to its announcement on 23 February 2022, Invinity Energy Systems plc (AIM: IES) (AQSE: IES) (OTCQX: IESVF), a leading global manufacturer of utility-grade energy storage , is pleased to provide an update on its participation in the UK Government's Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy's (BEIS) Longer Duration Energy Storage Demonstration ("LODES") Competition.

Invinity was awarded GBP708,371 of funding from BEIS under Phase 1 of the LODES competition to carry out a comprehensive planning and feasibility study for a large scale, grid-connected vanadium flow battery project in the UK (the "Project"). Invinity is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed this phase of the competition with assistance from its Phase 1 consortium partners.

The Company has also now submitted the required application and supporting materials to BEIS in respect of Phase 2 of the LODES competition and will look to publish certain findings from the completed feasibility study on its website in due course. If successful in this application, BEIS is expected to make available funds of up to GBP11m in support of Project development costs, representing a significant proportion of the total(1) .

Invinity now awaits a final decision from BEIS in respect of the award, after which the Project would move through definitive contracting to the build and commissioning stage (Phase 2) alongside a new Phase 2 development partner, a leading UK-focussed developer of flexible generation and battery storage projects. Invinity currently expects to be notified of BEIS' decision within the next few months.

Jonathan Marren, Chief Development Officer at Invinity said:

"We are very grateful to BEIS for the support we have received to date through our participation in the LODES programme. Technologies such as vanadium flow batteries, engineered and assembled in the UK, are playing an ever-greater role in accelerating progress towards net zero, in no small part thanks to initiatives such as this. With this submission now completed, we believe that Invinity and its partners have made a significant step towards the development and deployment of what could be a highly significant UK energy storage project. "

(1) The Company cautions that due to the competitive nature of this process, there is no guarantee Invinity will ultimately be successful in the award of Phase 2 or the scale of any such award.
