("ITM Power" or the "Company")

EcoIsland Update

ITM Power (AIM: ITM), the energy storage and clean fuel company, notes recent media reports concerning the Company's relationship with EcoIsland Partnership CIC ("EcoIsland") and draws investors' attention to the following announcement released today by EcoIsland:

"ITM POWER PLC NATIONAL HYDROGEN PARTNER FOR ECOISLAND PARTNERSHIP CIC

In order to clarify some confusion caused by some announcements in the press last week, EcoIsland Partnership CIC wishes to confirm that ITM Power plc remains and will continue to be their National Hydrogen Partner in the EcoIsland Project. ITM Power plc has been working closely with EcoIsland now for more than two years and is supporting us with their technology on the Island. Our agreement with ITM Power plc includes among other hydrogen technologies; a clean fuel vehicle refuelling plant, consideration of utilising hydrogen for energy storage using the Island's gas grid and the possibility of creating a larger hydrogen store to give the Island a long term energy storage solution.

We understand that ITM Power plc has demonstrated an off grid home at its facility in Sheffield where part of the building was converted to a flat that ran off hydrogen gas generated from renewable energy. ITM Power plc is also working with our other National and Global Partners to raise funding for similar projects on the Island.

EcoIsland Partnership CIC confirms that it has not issued any other Partnership Contract or Licence to any other Hydrogen Partner nor has it placed any other orders or contracts for the supply of hydrogen technology to the EcoIsland Project other than those it has in place with ITM Power plc."
