Targeting its first Direct to Consumer Energy Sales in North America in 2023

And Net Zero Tier 3 (Scope 3) CO2 Emission Energy deliveries by 2027

CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2022 / Avila Energy Corporation ("Avila Energy" or the "Company" or "Avila"), trading symbol (CSE:VIK.CN), announces the launch of its Vertically Integrated Energy Business, targeting its first Direct to Consumer Sales in North America in 2023 and Net Zero Tier 3 (Scope 3) CO2 Emission Energy deliveries in 2027.

Avila Energy's investments to date in the Vertically Integrated Energy Business is projected to generate gross sales of up to $25 million in 2024 and to establish the Company's capacity to generate recurring energy revenues of approximately $60 million annually, representing 25% of the projected annual revenues of the Company in 2024.

Based on presales received in 2023 and 2024, the Company has an established plan to ramp up its energy delivery capacity to add up to 50,000 customers annually by the end of 2026, which would result in additional gross revenues of more than $275 million, which would then represent approximately 40% of the Company's projected annual revenues.

The launch of Avila Energy's "Vertically Integrated Energy Business" is supported by over 10 years of investment in research and development, including a 5 (five) million Euro cash investment in MICROTURBINE TECHNOLOGY ("MTT") B.V., a leader in Microturbine Combined Heat and Power Technology.

MTT's product is named the "EnerTwin" (the "EnerTwin").

The EnerTwin is certified by KIWA (the "KIWA Certification") in the Netherlands.

See: https://www.kiwa.com/en/.

Pursuant to the Certification, the EnerTwin is approved for sales within the European Union and Britain and by extension to numerous additional countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Based on the production and sales in 2022 by MTT of the EnerTwin, Avila Energy has determined that MTT has resoundingly demonstrated that Avila's vision for the "Vertically Integrated Energy Business" which is the foundation Avila Energy sought to be in place to launch the division, preparations for manufacturing, and its Direct to Consumer Energy presales, of its integrated, environmentally responsible low carbon energy products in North America is on budget and ready to be implemented.

Avila Energy has obtained from MTT the preferred licensing rights to manufacture, sell, lease, and service the "EnerTwin" in Canada and the United States (the "Licensing Rights"), a market estimated by MTT and Avila Energy to exceed 90 million potential customers.

While the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) completes its review of the application submitted by the Company for approval of the EnerTwin and their review of the KIWA Certification in support of this application for CSA certification of the "EnerTwin" product line in Canada, the Company will be positioning itself to commence manufacturing and initial deliveries in late 2023 in Canada for 2024.

Upon the receiving CSA approval, the sale and distribution of the "EnerTwin" in the United States is automatically approved by way of the agreements between Canada and the United States.

The EnerTwin is certified by KIWA (the "KIWA Certification") in the Netherlands.

See: https://www.kiwa.com/en/. Pursuant to the Certification, the EnerTwin is approved for sales within the European Union and Britain and by extension to numerous additional countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

"Obtaining the Licensing Rights is in furtherance of Avila Energy's vision to launch its Vertically Integrated Energy Business, and Direct to Consumer Sales potential; which is expected to have Avila Energy become a leading standard within the energy transition underway in North America; that is already being enthusiastically embraced by our employees and several our shareholders." stated Leonard Van Betuw, Avila's President & CEO.

"Avila Energy's launch of its Vertically Integrated Energy Business based on MTT's proven technology of the EnerTwin is an opportunity to strengthen Avila's activities in the field of integrated energy supply to energy consumers with a high-tech micro-CHP generation system. The growing collaboration complements Avila's portfolio in the most meaningful way possible and is a reassuring step towards its vision of delivering a vertically integrated energy solution. Further, the owned and operated assets of Avila provide a sound and reliable long-term source of energy to consumers, and we are very pleased to be launching in 2022 our "Vertically Integrated Energy Business" with the support of our highly competent licensor, MTT.

The highly efficient decentralized power and heat generation provided by the "EnerTwin" is only the start. Avila is enthused by the performance of MTT's product, the 3.2 kWe, its proven base-line product, the continuous duty micro-CHP unit (the EnerTwin), and excited to be the licensee of MTT to produce and distribute the EnerTwin in North America. Avila looks forward to deepening our sustainable energy competence with MTT for the future." said Leonard Van Betuw.

"We at MTT are excited to welcome Avila as strategic partner. Partnering with Avila is perfectly in line with MTT's continued expansion into providing its high-end micro turbine technology to a global market. We were extremely impressed with Avila management's strategic approach towards low-cost carbon neutral energy supply and discovered great synergies. With an ever-increasing global demand for sustainable energy supply, we are excited with the opportunity to help Avila's customers in North America make their power, heat, and cooling consumption suitable for the future of reducing carbon emissions. In addition, the investment of Avila in MTT has supported the scale-up of production and distribution of MTT's EnerTwin solution within the European Market," said MTT's CEO Willy Ahout.

Avila Energy Corporation's rational for the Launch of the Vertically Integrated Energy Business

Avila Energy is committed to delivering Direct to Consumer Energy solutions that are both environmentally responsible and financially sustainable, in accordance with Avila's vision of"Empowering Life with Confidence"

Upon completing the initial ramp -up of the Vertically Integrated Energy Business by Avila Energy in 2024, the Direct Consumer Energy solutions offered by Avila are anticipated to (for every 1,000 customers brought on-line by Avila) result in the reduction of 20,000 tons annually in collective Tier 3 (Scope 3) CO2 emissions; based on current estimates for North American consumers of 16 tons per year per person. See: CO2 Emissions per Capita - Worldometer (worldometers.info)

The Company is projecting to install its first 50,000 "EnerTwin" units in Canada and the United States, a market estimated by Avila Energy to exceed 90 million potential customers by the end of 2025. By the end of 2026, the Company projecting to be adding 50,000 customers annually from no less than 5 regional distribution and service offices in North America for its manufacturing, distribution, and services.

"The economically sustainable delivery of Carbon Neutral to Net Zero Energy Sales by 2027 of vertically integrated Natural Gas and Oil products has been the goal and driving force of Avila Energy Corporation's vision since its inception. The Integration of the Company's current and future proven and probable production, resources and engineering, in combination with its relentless focus on the issues related to the installation of equipment for Tier 1, 2 (Scope 1,2) and more importantly the financially viable introduction of direct to consumers sales to address Tier 3 (Scope 3) Emissions results in the fact that the Company is now positioned to launch in 2022 its Vertically Integrated Energy Business. The integrated delivery of energy to consumers' homes and places of business in the 21^st Century is the foundation of the Company's mission to become a leading producer recognized worldwide as a supplier of environmentally responsible energy to consumers." said Leonard Van Betuw, President & CEO of Avila Energy.

As part of Avila's vision (in its view, corporate responsibility) to offer Net Zero Energy by 2027, the Company's first stage is scheduled to fully be implemented in 2024, this stage being the demonstration of the Company's ability to be sustainable and financially profitable as an integrated low-cost Carbon Neutral Energy Producer that addresses our obligation as a conventional energy producer of natural gas and oil to manage and overcome the Company's Tier 1 and 2 emissions. This is to be achieved within the upstream division of Avila's business through the integration of its extraction and production activities with the installation of an independently commercially viable power generation with the integrated carbon capture of associated emissions to be sequestered in the Company's energy fields in West Central Alberta.

Avila Energy's, second stage is to offer the "EnerTwin" in combination with integrated engineered products through its Vertically Integrated Energy Business in quantity by 2024; setting that stage for the Company to deliver consumers a proven (24/7) commercial off grid solution that has the estimated capacity to reduce average households Tier 3 (Scope 3) Emissions by 40% (See: Note 1); delivering electricity, heating and cooling, including rapid charging for fully electric and chargeable hybrid vehicles.

Avila Energy's third stage is upon reaching critical mass of over 250,000 installed customers, Avila will also provide the option to customers to convert to Avila's developing hydrogen fueled solution; anticipated to be available commercially in 2027; which would result in a further reduction of the consumers environmental CO2 footprint by an additional 40 to 50%.
