EarthRenew Electricity Generation Has Record Production Month as Alberta Experiences Deep Freeze in January 2020
11 February 2020 - 12:00AM
EarthRenew Inc. (CSE:ERTH) (“EarthRenew” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce a very successful power generation month in
January 2020. The power generation facility at EarthRenew is
capable of generating up to 4MW per hour. EarthRenew generated
178MWh in the month of January 2020, corresponding to an estimated
$112,195 in electricity sales revenue.
This electricity was delivered to the Alberta
grid taking advantage of significant price peaking during a
particularly cold January. The pool price for electricity reached
$999.99 per MWh during the month and the average electricity price
was $123.57/MWh as reported by the Alberta Electric System Operator
(AESO).
During the week of January 12th to January 18th,
2020, electricity prices repeatedly reached $999.99/MWh and 24% of
the time the electricity prices exceeded $900.00/MWh. The minimum
price was $29.35/MWh and the average price was $405.65/MWh, as
reported by the AESO.
CEO Keith Driver commented, “The province of
Alberta experienced particularly cold temperatures in January which
increases demand for electricity as everyone tries to stay warm,
putting pressure on the system. This presents an opportunity
for EarthRenew, as we can turn on the turbine and sell electricity
back to the Alberta grid to meet demand during these peak pricing
periods. This was a good test for the first phase of our
business development as we were able to respond quickly to the
changing price environment in Alberta and sustain electricity
generation during these cold days.”
Mr. Driver continued, “Looking ahead, we plan to
supplement our electricity revenue when our previously announced
Power Purchase Agreement with BTF Blockchain (BTF) comes
online. As announced on October 3, 2019, BTF is a
cryptocurrency miner that intends to co-locate on the EarthRenew
site and purchase up to 3.0MW from us, setting a floor for our
electricity while allowing us to still capture peak pricing from
the grid. We expect this arrangement will provide EarthRenew
with more stable revenue while we move into the next phase of
development, which will be to advance our fertilizer production
facility.”
BTF is currently completing the installation of
its facility at the EarthRenew site and is expected to start
purchasing electricity from EarthRenew in Q2, 2020.
