BESS Market Positioning through Strategic Acquisition
The Company has recently strengthened its position within the renewable energy market with a primary focus of developing and operating its combined 3.4GW pipeline of grid-balancing Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) and solar energy projects, which are strategically located across key independent system operators in the U.S. As announced on April 24, 2024, Bitech completed its key acquisition to control several BESS projects with an estimated 1.965GW capacity. The BESS can store excess energy generated during peak production periods to be dispatched on off-peak production periods when existing renewable energy sources are not sufficient to meet demand.

Advanced Technology Integration
Bitech has an integral role in advancing the clean energy economy as we strive to build out a strong strategic partnership network with reliable renewable energy providers and established technology innovators. Our technology innovation objective is to penetrate the largest US energy grids to create scalable energy solutions with an emphasis on smart grids, smart energy storage, and AI green data centers. Last month, the Company also filed a utility-nonprovisional patent related to Edge Server Integrated Utilities Device (“IUD”) application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Our invention provides a comprehensive AI-IoT solution for integrating multiple wireless communication RF modules and power utilities devices at an integrated site. A single physical device known as a Bitech Integrated Utilities Device (IUD) connects and combines the broadband internet CPE (Customer Premises Equipment), multiple wireless communication RF technologies, optional 4G/5G back up link while telco wired link is down, and multiple power interfaces, facilitating seamless management and optimization of both power and communications utilities via AI-IoT management system.
We are also in the final stage of selecting and negotiating with technologically advanced battery and equipment suppliers. These procurement partnerships will allow the integration of the next-gen energy storage products into our flagship projects.
BESS Project Financing Update

The Company has received several project equity investments or debt financing offers toward financing its BESS project portfolio with a goal to achieve its first Commercial Operation Date (COD) in Summer 2025, aiming to achieve up to 250MW BESS installation during the next 12 months. The Company has also received several offers of investment tax credit (“ITC”) from selected tax equity partners. The Company is in the process of reviewing these offers to make informed decisions before moving forward.
In the second half of 2024, we expect to complete financing for our first two 100MW BESS projects located in the renewable communities of Texas while expanding revenue opportunities with the U.S. Department of Energy. In early 2025, we expect to commence construction for our first two projects, finance a third project, and pursue strategic joint venture opportunities. Executing these near-term milestones will support our future growth plans including the expansion of our BESS business from 1.96GW to 5GW over the next three to five years.
