Prof Roger Putnam, Chairman of ITM Power commented: "We are aggressively pursuing opportunities to reinforce our position as a global leader in energy storage and clean fuel, and we seek to turn that position into increased revenues for the Company as our markets mature and become mainstream. We are pleased with the progress made to date and look forward to an active second half of the year."

Dr Graham Cooley, Chief Executive of ITM Power, added: "In the last two years, ITM Power has transformed its business by migrating from the sale of small hydrogen equipment to large scale electrolyser plant installations. Having done so, we have demonstrated the successful application of our technology, the strength of our engineering capability, and our ability to deliver on the projects we undertake. Today we are a proven player in this dynamic industry and as a result, ITM Power is well placed to capitalise on the growing global demand for energy storage."
