Ceres Power "Site visit feedback: confident tone on new licence partners..."

tial upside to 2030

estimates if traction continues with data centre customers via their partners in SOFC. Ceres is set for

2026 to be a transformation year for EBITDA breakeven, and restructuring has driven cash burn

down to ~£20m a year, from £40m a year (when no partner joins), and we now forecast positive

FCF generation across 2026-28. The recent partnership with Centrica further repositions SOFC tech

as a serious solution where the grid rollout is constrained. Further licence momentum is likely in

2026/27, as Ceres commercialises its unique solid oxide (SO) tech, which has an attractive cost

trajectory vs. peers and traditional power generation technology.

EVIDENCE Partners have signalled strong capital commitments, and Weichai signed a licence deal in 2025 after

it invested ~£220m over 2018-22 in Ceres’ technology, and Doosan has a factory open in

South Korea and has medium-term targets for ~200MW of capacity.

WHAT´S PRICED IN? We think ~6GW of fuel cell (SOFC) cumulative deliveries are priced in currently. That compares to a

total addressable market of 20GW p.a by 2030 estimated by Ceres. As a reminder, 1GW of

shipments for SOFC is equivalent to £50-100m of EBITDA, with a stack replacement life of ~5 years.Please
