NU E POWER CORP. SIGNS LETTER OF INTENT FOR POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT OF UP TO 17 MW AT LETHBRIDGE 2 WITH DIGITAL ASSET SOLUTIONS

Calgary, Alberta — NU E Power Corp. (CSE: NUE, OTC Pink: NUEPF) (“NUE” or the “Company“) today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI“) with Digital Asset Solutions (“DAS“) in respect of a power purchase and infrastructure partnership at the Company’s Lethbridge 2 site in Lethbridge, Alberta. The parties intend to negotiate and execute a definitive five-year Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA“) and related infrastructure, site, and ancillary agreements.

Under the contemplated arrangement, NUE will supply up to 17 MW of electrical capacity at its Lethbridge 2 site for the operation of modular high-performance computing (“HPC“) and digital asset mining infrastructure. The contemplated transaction is structured in two phases:

• Phase 1 — Grid Power (Near-Term). Power sourced from the Alberta Interconnected Electric System (“AIES”) via Fortis Alberta’s distribution network, delivered through the existing Lethbridge 2 substation following required upgrades and Fortis Alberta approvals and development permitting. Target commercial operation date of Q3 2026 subject to the above and county-level industrial rezoning (received, subject to no materially adverse conditions).
• Phase 2 — Integrated Grid, Solar and BESS (Subject to Development). Integration of grid power with NUE’s planned 12.5 MWac on-site solar generation facility, also having potential for a battery energy storage system (“BESS”), designed to deliver anticipated lower-cost, lower-carbon, blended supply. Phase 2 is subject to development, financing, permitting, interconnection, and construction, and is not guaranteed. A requisite detailed-level study for solar generation has already been submitted.

The Lethbridge 2 LOI represents NUE’s first proposed power purchase arrangement for HPC and digital asset offtake at one of the three Alberta projects subject to its previously announced partnership with Green Harbor Partners Corp. The two-phase structure allows near-term grid-sourced offtake to commence while the integrated solar and storage build-out advances under Alberta’s AESO Cluster 3 SASR process, for which submission is targeted by August 6, 2026.

Under the terms of the LOI, NUE will operate as the power developer and coordinate grid delivery, substation upgrades, electrical infrastructure development, and regulatory engagement at the Lethbridge 2 site. DAS will deploy, operate, and maintain the modular HPC infrastructure under the contemplated up-to-17 MW offtake via a minimum monthly take-or-pay obligation with NUE. DAS further contemplates the potential involvement of its affiliates Gator Mining (“Gator“) and Alpha Seven Energy (“Alpha Seven“). If involved, Gator would act as the digital asset mining offtake partner operating compute hardware and Alpha Seven would act as the capital and financing partner, backing the deployment of compute infrastructure and associated credit support under the contemplated PPA.

The LOI contemplates an initial five-year PPA term from the Phase 1 commercial operation date, with renewal options to be agreed, and customary mutual termination rights. Phase 1 pricing will be structured as an all-in delivered rate inclusive of Fortis Alberta distribution tariff, AESO tariffs, applicable riders, line losses, and NUE supply margin. Phase 2 pricing would reflect the lower-cost contribution of on-site solar and, potentially, battery dispatch.

Execution of the definitive PPA and related agreements remains subject to a number of conditions, including, among others:

• Consent or waiver from Low Carbon Canada Solar Limited, NUE’s 50% joint venture partner in the Lethbridge 2 project entity;
• Fortis Alberta confirmation of substation capacity, upgrade scope, cost, and timing for up-to 17 MW delivery;
• Lethbridge County development permitting;
• Confirmation of the regulatory structure for Phase 1 supply, including any Alberta Utilities Commission licence, retail services agreement or other authorized supply mechanism;
• DAS credit support and financial diligence;
• Each party’s board approval;
• Satisfactory technical, infrastructure, and regulatory diligence; and
• Resolution of other material commercial, regulatory, zoning, site control and project-development matters on acceptable terms.

Management Commentary

“The successful execution of the letter of intent for a power purchase agreement at Lethbridge 2 is a meaningful step forward in our partnership with NUE. As we progress toward the completion of due diligence in June, this milestone reinforces our intent to move toward a definitive agreement and, if conditions are met, the acquisition of these Alberta solar assets. Green Harbor is an infrastructure investor, and we hold long-term conviction in the Canadian power market — and in Alberta in particular. The opportunity we see is not only in green generation, but in providing the reliable, scalable power required to support heavy compute and the broader AI industry, a segment Green Harbor intends to continue investing behind alongside partners like NUE.”

— Jay Lee, Chief Executive Officer, Green Harbor Partners

“Lethbridge 2 fits squarely within our buildout plan for modular HPC capacity in Alberta. NUE’s site, grid position and development capability allow us to deploy at scale and on a timeline aligned with our customers’ needs.”

— Jesse Charriere, President, Digital Asset Solutions

“Lethbridge 2 is an important step toward commercial validation of the strategy we are pursuing around delivering flexible, low-cost power to next-generation compute. Pairing near-term grid offtake with the longer-term renewable and storage build-out which our portfolio is designed to deliver — alongside partners who bring deployment, mining offtake and committed capital — is exactly the kind of structure we believe the market is asking for.”

— Broderick Gunning, Chief Executive Officer, NU E Power Corp.
