❓ FAQ

Why is Ceres Power focusing on the data center market?

Data centers are facing significant grid-connection lead times and equipment shortages, creating an urgent need for on-site power generation solutions that Ceres' solid oxide technology can address.

When does Ceres expect royalty payments to become material?

While royalties are currently not material, the company expects them to grow starting next year and become increasingly significant as licensees scale production between 2028 and 2029.
