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.
