(Oslo, 18 July 2022) Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser AS, a subsidiary of Nel ASA (Nel,
OSE:NEL), has received its largest ever purchase order from an undisclosed US
customer for 200 MW of alkaline electrolyser equipment for industrial
application.

"We are truly excited to announce Nel's largest purchase order to date. This
project will showcase Nel's large-scale delivery and execution capabilities and
become a valuable reference for future large-scale contracts. It will have a
substantial, positive impact on Nel's financials, electrolyser product and
production cost, technology development and scale-up plans," says Nel's CEO
Håkon Volldal.

The Client, which has developed the project over several years, will fully fund
the project through private investors, and has also received significant
state/local government incentives given the environmental benefits of the
proposed project. The Client's development efforts have also resulted in a 20
-year off-take commitment from local partners as well as a 20-year electricity
power purchase agreement (PPA).

"This project represents an excellent opportunity for Nel to demonstrate its
hydrogen technology and scaling capabilities, crucial to meet the rapid growing
demand we see for green hydrogen", says Tom Skoczylas, Regional Sales Manager
for Nel Hydrogen US. "We are very happy to be elected for this ground-breaking
project where Nel was chosen based on maturity of technology and proven
electrolyser plant experience," he says.

The contract for the electrolyser stacks is a firm order with a value in excess
of EUR 45 million. Production and delivery of stacks is planned from February
2023 until mid-2024 at Nel's large-scale electrolyser production facility at
Herøya. Pending an ongoing engineering study, Nel could also get the opportunity
to provide additional balance-of-plant equipment for the project.
