Powerhouse Energy Group Plc

 (the "Company" or "PHE")

Appointment of representative in Northern Ireland

Powerhouse Energy Group Plc (AIM: PHE), a company pioneering integrated technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Noage Energy Ltd ("Noage") to act as a representative of PHE in Northern Ireland (the "Agreement").

Under the Agreement Noage will work on behalf of PHE to establish a project using Powerhouse technology converting waste materials to energy. Noage has already identified a potential site and will assist PHE negotiating access to the property and obtaining the necessary permissions to construct and operate the facility. Noage will also then collaborate with PHE to put in place feedstock supply and local offtake agreements, as well as providing general assistance.

PHE will pay Noage a fee of £50,000 on entering the agreement. Noage will also receive a number of success related fees, payable on completion of specified milestones, giving it the possibility of receiving total fees of £1.725 million for a fully implemented project (including the initial fee). The Agreement has an initial term of five years, but can be extended for a further two years on the request of Noage. Under the arrangement, however, all contractual commitments with third parties will be with PHE directly and Noage will not be able to give commitments on PHE's behalf.

Keith Riley, Acting CEO of PHE, commented:

"Noage has already demonstrated itself to be a proactive partner in bringing a project opportunity in Ballymena to PHE and identifying the various elements required to bring it to fruition. PHE looks forward to working with Noage and building a fruitful relationship. We foresee Ballymena as hosting the second PHE project in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, alongside that at Protos in Cheshire and anticipate that the Ballymena project will focus, initially at least, on power production rather than hydrogen. We look forward to providing further details of the project as appropriate."

Eugene Hannigan, Director of Noage Energy, commented:

"We are delighted to be working with the Powerhouse team on this venture.  Powerhouse's proprietary technology is at the forefront of energy transition and preventing pollution; converting the widest range of waste products into syngas for power and hydrogen. We look forward to assisting PHE progressing this project and taking it into full implementation."
