Maxim Power Enters Gas Turbine Reservation Agreement with GE Vernova
Maxim Power entered into a gas turbine and generator reservation agreement with GE Vernova. The Agreement allows MAXIM to hold a manufacturing slot for a 7HA.02 gas turbine and generator package with a target delivery by 2030. To hold this manufacturing slot, MAXIM is required to provide a non-refundable deposit which is payable in 2026. Under the Agreement, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to reach a definitive sales agreement for the purchase of the Gas Turbine. The purchase price for the Gas Turbine will be agreed to in the definitive agreement and the deposit will be credited towards the final purchase price. MAXIM is securing this unit manufacturing slot for its permitted 400 MW Prairie Lights Power project ocated near Grande Prairie, Alberta. An amendment to the Project regulatory permits will be required based on the Gas Turbine selected and its corresponding delivery schedule. The 7HA.02 gas turbine is an updated model of the currently approved gas turbine within the Project regulatory permits and as such the amendment is anticipated to be routine in nature. The Corporation continues to advance all aspects of project development for Prairie Lights and anticipates total Project spending during 2026 of up to $60 million. MAXIM will provide updates of material developments for the Project, as appropriate. As at the date of this press release, MAXIM has available liquidity of approximately $84 million Canadian dollars, including approximately $59 million of unrestricted cash. The Corporation expects to fund 2026 Project spending with cash on hand and cashflow from operations.
