Terra Firma Energy Limited Launch Strategic Review into Evaluating Its Role in Supporting the UKs Evolving Energy System
Terra Firma Energy Limited Launch Strategic Review into Evaluating Its Role in Supporting the UK's Evolving Energy System 'Our flexible generation assets already play a vital role in balancing intermittent renewables. This review will define how we continue to lead in providing reliability of supply.'— Zach Dodds-Brown - Development Director Terra Firma Energy. LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 11, 2025 / / -- Terra Firma Energy (TFE), a leading developer and operator of flexible generation assets in the UK, has today launched a strategic review to evaluate how best to expand and adapt its role in supporting the UK's evolving energy system. The review will focus on how TFE can accelerate its contribution to national decarbonisation goals while maintaining the resilience and responsiveness that the UK grid requires. With a proven portfolio of gas peaking plants already supporting grid stability, and new assets under construction, the company is now assessing opportunities to integrate new technologies and broaden its platform. 'The UK energy market is changing rapidly, and so are the needs of the system,' said Zach Dodds-Brown, Development Director at Terra Firma Energy. 'Our flexible generation assets already play a vital role in balancing intermittent renewables. This review will define how we continue to lead in reliability, while exploring new frontiers such as battery storage, low-carbon fuels, and digital optimisation.' TFE's portfolio includes several operational gas peaking sites and others currently under construction, supported by long-term Capacity Market contracts. The review will examine both organic and inorganic opportunities, including: • Deployment of utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) • Acquisition of complementary operating assets • Integration of green hydrogen and carbon capture technologies • Establishment of an in-house asset management platform to drive efficiency 'Flexible, fast-responding energy will remain critical as we shift to a renewable-powered grid,' added Zach. 'TFE's mission is to be the partner of choice for that transition — not just keeping the lights on, but doing it in a smarter, cleaner way.' The findings of the strategic review will inform TFE's next phase of investment and development, expected to be announced later this year.

Terra Firma Energy Limited Announces Successful Completion of Initial 6 Months Commercial Operation at Miners Road, Wrexham, Flexible Generation Site
LONDON, August 04, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Terra Firma Energy Limited (TFE) is delighted to announce that its 20.7MW Miners Road flexible generation site, located in Llay, Wrexham, United Kingdom, has successfully completed its first 6 months of commercial operations. The significant 6-month milestone has been achieved through the collective efforts of TFE's trusted partners. Blackstone Energy played a pivotal role in the development and delivery of the project, while Finning CAT provided the advanced hydrogen-ready generators that are critical to the site's success. The energy team at Close Brothers Asset Finance supported the project's financial structuring, enabling the realisation of this addition to the UK's energy infrastructure. Together, these partners have helped develop Miners Road into a fully operational facility now strengthening the local grid and meeting the UK's evolving energy demands. About Flexible Generation Plants Flexible power generation is crucial to maintaining grid stability and ensuring reliable energy supply in the UK. With the Miners Road site now operational, the focus shifts to Terra Firma Energy's long term optimisation partner, EDF (UK). Using their expertise, EDF have integrated the asset into the UK's wholesale and ancillary service markets, enabling it to provide secure and flexible power exactly when and where it's needed. This dynamic approach ensures that the facility not only enhances local energy resilience but also contributes to the nation's broader energy transition goals by complementing the variability of renewable energy sources. William Davies, Managing Director of Terra Firma Energy, commented: "Having successfully completed 6 months of commercial operation our Miners Road project is a testament to the collaborative efforts of our exceptional partners and the strength of our shared commitment to a sustainable energy future. With the baton passed to EDF (UK), our optimiser for the asset, we are confident that this site will play a vital role in providing flexible power solutions for the UK."

Terra Firma Energy Welcome UK Government Consultation on Hydrogen Blending into Great Britains Gas Transmission Network
Future-Proofed and Hydrogen-Ready LONDON, August 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At Terra Firma Energy, we welcome the UK Government's consultation into the blending of Hydrogen into Britain's Gas Transmission Network as a timely and positive step forward for both the UK's decarbonisation goals and the future of flexible power generation. All our projects are engineered to be hydrogen-ready from the outset, ensuring long-term operational flexibility and resilience in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. By anticipating changes in fuel supply and regulatory frameworks, we have future-proofed our generation assets to adapt quickly to low-carbon solutions like hydrogen blending. The ability to support hydrogen integration, even at early-stage blend levels, reinforces our commitment to sustainable innovation and positions our portfolio to contribute meaningfully to a net zero grid. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has launched a new consultation exploring the potential for blending low-carbon hydrogen into Great Britain's gas transmission network. Following previous consultations on hydrogen blending into local distribution networks, the government is now seeking views on whether introducing hydrogen at the transmission level - the high-pressure National Transmission System (NTS) - could offer strategic and economic value. A Step Toward Net Zero Hydrogen is seen as a key player in the UK's push to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Blending low-carbon hydrogen with natural gas could offer a transitional path, supporting early-stage hydrogen production while reducing the carbon intensity of the existing gas network. DESNZ is currently evaluating whether to enable blending of up to 2% hydrogen by volume into the NTS. This small percentage could act as an "off-taker of last resort" for hydrogen producers, providing a backup market when dedicated customers are not available. Balancing Innovation with Risk The consultation outlines both the potential benefits and challenges. While hydrogen blending could support the growth of the hydrogen economy and help manage electricity system constraints, it also raises concerns for industrial users connected to the transmission system. Many of these users rely on stable, high-quality gas supplies, and even a 2% hydrogen blend could affect equipment performance, increase costs, or require infrastructure upgrades. Terra Firma Energy have been proactive in ensuring all our projects have been built utilising hydrogen ready generation sets that can accommodate a 20% blend of hydrogen into the network. Studies cited in the consultation show that most transmission-connected users could technically handle a 2% blend with minimal changes, though feasibility studies and equipment modifications may still be necessary. At higher blends (5% or 20%), the risks and costs escalate significantly. Cross-Border Considerations The UK's ability to blend hydrogen is also influenced by developments in the EU. Under the EU Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package, Member States can blend up to 2% hydrogen by volume, but are not required to do so. This creates potential interoperability issues with the UK's gas inter-connectors to Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands - especially if hydrogen blends exceed that threshold.
