2025-11-03 10:08:24

(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - November 3, 2025) - NU E Power Corp. (CSE: NUE) (OTC Pink: NUEPF) ("NU E" or the "Company" ) is pleased to announce it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the " Asset Purchase Agreement ") to purchase certain assets of ACT Mid Market Ltd. (" ACT "), a leading developer of hybrid power infrastructure and digital asset sites, in a strategic move to solidify NU E's position as a front-runner in the rapidly converging fields of renewable energy, data infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI), and Bitcoin (BTC) mining (the " Acquisition ").

Following the Acquisition, NU E's total targeted energy asset size will exceed 1 gigawatt (GW), taking the Company halfway to its 2 GW target of contracted power assets-marking a major milestone in its aggressive expansion strategy across North America and beyond. This positions NU E as a key player in the growing data center landscape, where global demand is increasing due to AI and cloud computing needs, projected to reach 78 GW by 2035. NU E fits perfectly with its existing, permitted, and expanding power capacity, offering net zero power sites through solar infrastructure and hybrid solutions. Aligning with the Canadian government's new strategy on data sovereignty, which emphasizes domestic control and security of critical data infrastructure, NU E can confidently say it has thrown its hat in the ring with a total project capacity of 1 GW.

Strategic Acquisition of certain assets of ACT Mid Market

ACT Mid Market Ltd., founded by Broderick Gunning, has rapidly emerged as a top-tier operator of mid-market energy sites tailored for AI compute, data centers, and Bitcoin mining. The acquisition marks a pivotal milestone for NU E, enabling the Company to transition from a renewable-first strategy to a multi-modal energy platform capable of hosting and scaling next-generation workloads. The assets being acquired represent 500 MW of energy projects utilizing solar, natural gas and electrical grid, capable of powering a variety of BTC and AI projects in Canada, Asia, South America and Africa. This acquisition supports NU E's growth through partnership strategy, positioning it in South America, Asia, and Africa to provide global coverage and offer customers a worldwide data infrastructure solution.

The acquisition also aligns NU E with the growing institutional trend of Bitcoin treasuries by integrating ACT's self-mined BTC operations and colocation customer base. This move enables NU E to begin building its own BTC reserve as both a hedge and long-term asset strategy. While NU E is focused on growth, its emphasis is on revenue generation with a focus on 3-5 MW Bitcoin mining chunks for cashflow while partnering with mid-market offtakers for sub-50 MW data center infrastructure sites. By doing this, NU E generates cashflow and secures long-term off-takes for clean energy and data center compute infrastructure.

The assets being acquired are as follows (the " Assets "):

100 MW Mongolia Hybrid Power & Data Infrastructure Project (Tsegtskharaa LLC) - Located in Central Mongolia, the Tsegtskharaa Power and Data Campus is a 100 MW greenfield hybrid project integrating grid, solar, and natural gas generation. The site features dual 220 kVA transmission lines and a gas pipeline, enabling 24/7 baseload and renewable capacity to serve data and industrial off-takers across Northeast Asia. The project aims to establish Mongolia's first hybrid energy-integrated data centre campus, targeting long-term sustainability through net-zero operations.

200 MW Grid & Gas Hybrid Power Project, Saskatchewan, Canada (XBASE Farm Partnership). The XBASE Project is a 200 MW grid and gas hybrid power site in Saskatchewan designed to support a self-sustaining smart community integrating energy, housing, and data infrastructure. Phase 1 includes 100 MW of hybrid generation powering a modular data centre campus, expanding to 200 MW with renewables and battery storage. Waste heat recovery from the data centre will supply energy to 120 homes, positioning the project as Canada's first energy-integrated residential ecosystem aligned with the country's 2050 net-zero goals.

100 MW Solar & Graphene Battery Program with the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) In partnership with the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM), ACT is co-developing a 100 MW distributed solar program supported by graphene-enhanced battery research and commercialization. The initiative combines R&D with deployment across IIUM's campuses, creating a national platform for renewable innovation and education. The partnership grants global commercialization rights for graphene-based solar and energy storage technologies, enabling future deployment across Southeast Asia, North America, and the Middle East.

100 MW Hybrid Solar, Gas & Grid Power and Data Centre Project, Lagos, Nigeria. The Lagos Hybrid Power & Data Centre Project is a 100 MW greenfield development integrating solar, gas, and grid capacity to power one of West Africa's most advanced digital and energy hubs. Designed for reliability and redundancy, the project will deliver baseload and renewable power to support telecom, AI, fintech, and enterprise data infrastructure. It aligns with Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan (ETP) by balancing renewable generation with efficient local gas utilization.

100 MW Solar Development Program, Brazil. The Brazil Solar Development Project includes 25 MW of fully permitted solar capacity and 75 MW of expansion under advanced approval. The initiative operates under a new MOU establishing a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) structure with dual financing pathways.
