Graham Cooley, CEO, commented: “The collaboration agreement with Snam and the strategic investment that accompanied it, as part of the £172m funding round, is another transformative deal for ITM Power. Alongside the Linde partnership and formation of ILE, ITM Power can concentrate on its core competence of developing and manufacturing electrolysis equipment. The Company is now able to offer a full turnkey solution at industrial scale with the EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) competence of a world leader in the hydrogen industry. The rapidly developing backlog and tender pipeline demonstrates that ITM Power and our partners Linde, Snam and Shell have a world class offering. The completed move into the new 1GW per annum electrolyser factory at Bessemer Park gives the Company a powerful cost reduction trajectory and world beating manufacturing capacity for our record order book and pipeline.”

Roger Bone, Chairman, added: “I was delighted to welcome Katherine and Tom to the ITM Power board in 2020 and to see such strong progress with the Snam agreement, the rapidly developing Linde partnership and the factory move. Despite all the difficulties Covid has caused we are well poised to accelerate our manufacturing programme and to sustain the significant growth in shareholder value we have seen over the last twelve months. We are also proud of the skills and dedication of our workforce and have rolled out an important incentives programme for all staff. As ever, I will continue my focus on governance, including the development of the Company's ESG reporting, which will be a key task in 2021 and beyond.”
