NU E Power enters joint development agreement for Darkhan Energy Park

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2026) - NU E Power Corp. (CSE: NUE) (OTC Pink: NUEPF) (" NUE " or the "Company" ) has entered into a Joint Development Agreement (the " JDA ") with Mongolian partner Tsegtskharaa LLC (" Tsegtskharaa ") to advance the proposed Darkhan Energy Park — a 600 MW hybrid generation facility combining 600 MW of high-efficiency, low-emissions (HELE) coal-fired generation with an additional planned 100 MW of battery storage (BESS). NUE has completed preliminary grid access assessments, confirmed site selection, and made its first payment toward the environmental and feasibility program required to secure the facility permit. Studies are now underway, with completion anticipated within three months.

NUE currently owns 100% of the equity in the project; Tsegtskharaa is expected to earn-in once certain future permitting conditions have been met. If obtained, offtake is anticipated to be via a USD-denominated Power Purchase Agreement with the Mongolia Electric Grid — targeting potential demand from large-load power users including data centres, AI infrastructure, industrial processing, and residential consumers. The proposed Darkhan Energy Park is intended to provide a pathway towards energy security and reliability in Mongolia's power market.

The early-stage thermal project is designed to support Mongolia in addressing energy infrastructure constraints — allowing NUE to pursue site control and plan for grid access while retaining optionality to adjust the project as market conditions evolve. In August 2026, Mongolia will host the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) COP17 in Ulaanbaatar under the theme Restoring Land, Restoring Hope , with 197 parties convening to address desertification and land degradation. NUE has submitted its application for Civil Society Organization (CSO) accreditation with the UNCCD.

If granted, accreditation would allow the Company to participate in the COP17 process as a recognized civil society organization. There is no assurance that accreditation will be granted. About the Joint Development Agreement Under the JDA, the parties will establish a Mongolian project company, with Tsegtskharaa contributing long-term land rights and local regulatory and government relations support.

Governance will vest in a board of directors, with specified major decisions subject to supermajority approval. About NU E Power Corp.
