For best results when printing this announcement, please click on link below: BKV Announces Power Generation Equipment Supply Contract Backed by Agreement with a Leading Investment-Grade Hyperscaler BKV Corporation (“BKV” or the “Company”) (NYSE: BKV) today announced that a wholly owned subsidiary of BKV has executed an equipment supply contract with a Tier 1 Supplier for the purchase of natural gas-fired power generation equipment for the Company’s prospective power generation project in Texas.

BKV also announced a backstop agreement with a leading investment-grade hyperscaler, under which the hyperscaler has agreed to reimburse a portion of BKV’s costs associated with the equipment and related project work. This investment grade hyperscaler is also the intended off-taker for the prospective power generation project. The backstop agreement supports BKV’s procurement of certain long-lead-time equipment including gas turbines, reheat steam turbines, reheat heat recovery steam generators and a plant distributed control system, along with related auxiliary equipment and services.

If BKV and the investment grade hyperscaler have not reached mutually agreeable offtake arrangements by March 31, 2027, BKV may terminate the equipment supply contract at such time and have no further payment obligations thereunder. The backstop agreement covers approximately 90% of the payments owed by BKV through March 31, 2027 under the equipment supply contract. This supports BKV’s power growth strategy and closed-loop platform spanning natural gas production, power generation and carbon capture. The equipment supply contract provides that the supplier will supply approximately 1,200 megawatts of power generation equipment, with deliveries beginning in September 2028.

“Securing long-lead-time generation equipment is an important step in advancing power projects on the scale and timelines customers require and is consistent with our disciplined approach to capital deployment,” said Chris Kalnin, Chief Executive Officer of BKV Corporation.
