Commenting on the Fundraise, CEO Ben Clube said: "With this Fundraise, EnergyPathways is issuing a modest number of new ordinary shares principally to a select number of pre-existing long-term investors who are aligned with the Company's long-term vision and business model. We are pleased to be strengthening the Company's register by increasing the proportion of shares held by its long-term investors. "The Fundraise provides funds for the Company to progress its flagship MESH project that has recently been recognised by the UK Government as having national significance. There is growing appreciation across separate arms of Government of the national benefits that the MESH project can bring. Currently, billions of pounds are being wasted each year on unused wind power and this cost is set to grow rapidly. MESH has the potential to reduce these costs significantly. It would also provide the UK with an affordable source of low-carbon hydrogen production at scale and make the Company an early mover in the production of synthetic graphite, which is recognised as a critical mineral, being a raw material that will be indispensable for the UK and Europe's green transition and defence industry. Furthermore, MESH offers an affordable large-scale gas storage facility ready to strengthen the UK's energy security. "Events continue to bring into sharp focus for the political class the importance of energy solutions that can reduce the burden of high energy bills on consumers while driving forward the transition to clean energy. "The Company continues to evaluate its financing options. We are encouraged by the interest being shown from large scale clean energy funds and infrastructure investors.
