SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT This presentation and accompanying documents contain “forward-looking statements” which may describe strategies, goals, outlooks or other non- historical matters, or projected revenues, Income, returns or other financial measures, that may include words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "project," "target," "potential," "will," "should," "could," "likely," or "may" and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. In addition to those factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q under “Risk Factors”, among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from past and projected future results are the following: fluctuations in demand for our products and services, competing technological developments, issues relating to research and development, the availability of incentives, rebates, and tax benefits relating to our products and services, changes in the regulatory environment relating to our products and services, integration of acquired business operations, and the ability to obtain financing on favorable terms to fund existing operations and anticipated growth. In addition to GAAP financial measures, this presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA which excludes certain expenses as described in the presentation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as an internal measure of business operating performance and believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our current business and enables investors to better understand and evaluate our historical and prospective operating performance by eliminating items that vary from period to period without correlation to our core operating performance and highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. 3


 
AGENDA AI & Data Centers Why Tecogen’s unique solution Vertiv relationship Potential impact of data center sales to Tecogen About the technology Financials Q4 and FY 2024 Q&A 4


 
AI LIQUID COOLING MARKET OPPORTUNITY Liquid cooling of AI Chips allows a chip to operate at 2x computing power, but that heat needs to be removed Over next 10 years >$20Bn of cooling equipment needs to be installed to support AI Liquid cooling NVDIA & AMD are expected to ship >5 million AI chips a year 5


 
6 Up to 30% of a data center’s available electrical power may need to be allocated to cooling This power is then not available for computing Computing is the revenue source for a data center THE PROBLEM AncillariesComputing Cooling Power Needs of AI Data Center


 
SOLUTION – TECOGEN’S ADVANCED NATURAL GAS CHILLER 7 Increases available power Tecogen’s unique advanced natural gas chiller (Tecochill) increases a data center’s available power Fast and Easy Installation Faster and cheaper to install than on-site power generation Ultra low NOx and CO emissions for simplified air-permits Proven technology in 24/7 critical applications including hospitals, ice rinks, cannabis


 
Cost of Operation Electrical Power Needed TECOCHILL COMPARED TO ALTERNATIVES Electric Chillers Gas Absorption Chillers Tecochill is 2x more efficient than nearest other gas cooling technology Tecochill can save 50% or more in energy costs compared to an electric chiller Tecogen chillers are made in USA and are less susceptible to tariffs


 
-$1,000,000 -$500,000 $0 $500,000 $1,000,000 $1,500,000 $2,000,000 Increased Revenue for Data Center from Additional Electrical Capacity Chiller Energy Costs Chiller Maintenance Increased Data Center Profit Per Year Tecogen Chillers = Increased Available Power = Increased Data Center Profits (2,000 Ton Chiller Plant) Electric Cooling Tecogen Chiller


 
10 THE MARKET Market moving towards colocation and hyperscale data centers Favorable to larger projects Tecogen is targeting the colocation data centers


 
11 Signed global partnership with Vertiv for data center cooling Vertiv is No.1 in thermal management for data centers Marketing agreement signed March 2025 Data center sites (power gen) Enterprise data center in Manhattan (Installed 2023/4) Cloudsmart Data Center in CT (Expected Install 2025) Working on 3 to 5 multi-unit data center projects PROVEN TRACTION IN DATA CENTER MARKET


 
12 Sample AI data center site Total Data Center Power = 50MW 36 MW computing 14 MW for cooling and ancillaries Chiller plant size >11,000 refrigeration tons One chiller project of equivalent size could generate $13m to $16m in revenue for Tecogen Incremental sale from even 1 data center will lead to profitability 2024 gross profit margin >43% Adjusted EBITDA breakeven point approximately $30m POTENTIAL IMPACT


 
13 Tecogen moved to a new factory in 2024 20 Ton overhead cranes for chiller production Talented local labor pool NEW FACTORY READY FOR GROWTH


 
BACKLOG AND CASH Backlog is presently $12.2m. Additional >$3m of projects expected to enter backlog during Q2 Cash position $5.4m at quarter end and $4m presently Due to customer deposits NYSERDA rebates – (Some pass through to customers) Repayment timeline extended to 2026 for related party notes Multi-Family Residential 21% Controlled Environment Agriculture 4% Office 13% Other 17% LVCC Product 29% LVCC Prepaid Service 16% Backlog by Customer Type 14
