First Block Study: Engineering the Foundation

INERGX will carry out a design study for the first generation and storage block of the Facility (the “First Block Study”). The study will model on-site generation together with energy storage against EM&T’s site load profile and generation specification, and will define the recommended storage capacity, power rating, configuration, power quality and ride-through performance, interface with the generation and process load, and indicative capital and operating costs — together with a scalable design for the full First Phase. The design will be validated through INERGX’s testing and certification partner in Italy, which is accredited to European and U.S. standards.

The LOI sets an accelerated timetable: EM&T will provide its site inputs within two weeks of signing, INERGX will deliver the First Block Study within eight weeks of receipt, and the parties intend to work toward definitive agreements for the first block within twelve weeks of the study’s delivery and acceptance, so that the first block can be ordered in step with EM&T’s generation and site program.
