£40 million strategic investment by Great British Energy and £46.5 million grant from DESNZ

On 9th April 2026, the Company announced they had secured an investment of £40 million through a non-pre-emptive Subscription by Great British Energy and had also received a letter from DESNZ confirming their intention to award a Grant of £46.5 million.

The funds will support the establishment of a new large-scale automated manufacturing line in the UK with an annual capacity of 1 GW for the next-generation stack Chronos. This investment is underpinned by strong order momentum and growing order backlog over the last 24 months. With superior energy efficiency and substantially lower cost, Chronos will help ITM to further grow their market share, speed up the industrial adoption of hydrogen, and accelerate their growth and path to profitability.

The Grant remains subject to subsidy control scrutiny, a statutory process required to ensure any public funding complies with the Subsidy Control Act 2022. The subsidy referral was submitted on 7th April and is expected to conclude in June 2026, after which, subject to a satisfactory outcome, the grant would then be contracted.
