Global Power Solutions (PWER.V) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with 2782404 AB LTD to evaluate the potential development of a modular hydrogen-powered energy project, it said Monday.The parties, under the terms of the LOI, will undertake a technical, commercial, and regulatory feasibility review to evaluate the potential development of one or more modular facilities with a potential aggregate capacity of up to about 100 megawatts. The proposed project, if advanced following feasibility review and definitive agreements, could be developed in phased stages."This LOI represents an opportunity to evaluate a potential application of modular hydrogen-powered energy systems within a decentralized generation framework," said Global Power Solutions Chief Executive Peter Medved. "The feasibility process will allow both parties to assess technical configuration, commercial structure, and regulatory considerations before determining whether to proceed toward definitive agreements."The company may establish project-level special purpose entities (SPEs) for the development, ownership, financing, and operation of any project facilities. 2782404 is expected to provide site access information, operational requirements, and anticipated power demand profiles to support the feasibility assessment, while Global is expected to lead the technical evaluation and project development planning.The parties also anticipate that the feasibility process will include engineering studies, site suitability assessments, preliminary financial modeling, and evaluation of hydrogen production, storage, and power generation configurations. If the project proceeds beyond feasibility, the parties, it added, may negotiate a long-term power purchase agreement under which electricity generated by the project could potentially be supplied to 2782404 under a defined commercial framework.Shares of the company closed up 10% to $0.32 on Friday on the TSX Venture Exchange.
