Interim report: Financing secured to initiate series production

Azelio’s directed share issue generated gross proceeds of SEK 596 million in the first quarter. The share issue attracted very strong interest, with subscribers including major Swedish and international investors. The proceeds will primarily be used to finance the continued industrialisation of the energy storage system with the objective of starting series production in September 2021, and to fund the company’s business plan until the operations are cash-flow positive, which is expected to occur during 2022.

The commercialisation of the energy storage system continued in the first quarter with an order in Sweden for two energy storage units to store surplus energy from a 446 kW solar PV system on a larger industrial building and make the solar energy available around-the-clock as electricity and heat. The units will improve the productivity of the system installed, reduce dependency on the local heating network, and increase the customer’s use of renewable energy by 24%, which will also reduce CO2 emissions by 168 tonnes per year.
