This was not even the news we were looking for17 Apr 2026 15:12
We are still waiting on
1) Uniper 120MW
2) 300MW APAC
3) 21st Nov- Selected for 710MW of projects in Germany
4) a Basic Design Engineering Package (BDEP) contract by an industrial customer for a project in Australia
5) a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for a project in Canada, which aims to produce hydrogen for transportation from hydroelectric power.
6) Hydropulse 1st contract
If you remember I asked about FEED at the investor day in Oct 25. Dennis answered us directly. I put it below again for ease of reference. But yes I expect 4 and 5 to move to FID or contract orders.
Question: Could you please explain what the FEED contracts are and how they progress to FID?
Answer (Dennis):
In relation to ITM, a FEED contract stands for Front-End Engineering Design. Essentially, it involves ITM assessing and designing how a system—such as a Neptune II, Neptune V, or POSEIDON electrolyser—will fit within a customer’s specific site.
No two installations are exactly the same. For example, a site might have enough space for a Neptune II, but pipework and connections could need routing through complex existing infrastructure. Another site might require two or more Neptune Vs placed apart due to space limits, which means the engineering design must ensure the systems work together efficiently.
FEEDs usually cost between 1 and 2% of the total project value and take approximately 6 to 9 months to complete. Based on Dennis’s experience, about a 9:1 conversion ratio exists—out of every 10 FEED contracts, nine advance to Financial Close (FC) and subsequently to Final Investment Decision (FID).
