support, bringing total U.S. federal funding to $94 million for Ballard's fuel cell Gigafactory in Texas</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">VANCOUVER, BC and ROCKWALL, Texas, April 1, 2024 /CNW/
-&nbsp;Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP) announced it has been awarded $54 million of investment tax credits from the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service as part of the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Tax Credit (48C), funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
The 48C program, which provides 30% investment tax credits for selected clean energy manufacturing projects, is designed to support secure
and resilient domestic clean energy supply chains. Ballard plans to use the $54 million in tax credits to support the build-out of a new
fuel cell Gigafactory in Rockwall, Texas.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;Ballard sits at the convergence of the megatrends
of decarbonization, energy security, and technology change, with highly disruptive and proven zero-emission fuel cell products,&quot;
said Randy MacEwen, Ballard's President &amp; Chief Executive Officer. &quot;We are encouraged with the increasingly constructive policy
landscape, including the recent unveiling of the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization and the National Zero-Emission
Freight Corridor Strategy. At the same time, we are seeing growing customer interest across our market verticals.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Mr. MacEwen added, &quot;Customers are being very
clear &ndash; they are counting on us to be there for them at volume and at the right costs. The ability for us to demonstrate a clear
roadmap to high production volumes at significantly reduced costs is critical to customers transitioning from demonstrations to future
scaled deployments.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Mr. MacEwen continued, &quot;This award of $54 million
in tax credits, combined with our previously announced award of $40 million in U.S. Department of Energy grants, provide Ballard with
a total of $94 million of U.S. federal funding to support the build-out of our Rockwall Gigafactory. This represents significant investment
leverage as we plan to bring scaled, advanced manufacturing of next-generation fuel cells online in late 2027 &ndash; at the same time
when we expect to reach capacity constraints of our existing North American production facilities based on our forecasted growth and production
volumes.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Ballard Rockwall Giga 1 is planned to be located on
a parcel of 22 acres of industrial land within the Rockwall Technology Park in Rockwall, Texas. In Phase I, Ballard plans to invest approximately
$110 million (net of the $40 million in expected DOE grants and the $54 million in expected 48C tax credits) from 2024 through the end
of 2027 to build and commission a new manufacturing facility for membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs), bipolar plates, stacks, and engines.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;We are pleased with the progress we are making
on our planning for Ballard Rockwall Giga 1,&quot; commented Mark Biznek, Ballard's Chief Operating Officer. &quot;This advanced manufacturing
facility is a strategically important initiative in our 'local for local' global manufacturing plan to enable future growth while providing
us with attractive financial returns on our invested capital. We expect our Phase I investment to provide for annual production capacity
of 8 million MEAs, 8 million bipolar plates, 20,000 fuel cell stacks, and 20,000 fuel cell engines per year, or the equivalent of 3 gigawatts
of fuel cells. We plan to manufacture next generation fuel cell products incorporating the benefits of our work relating to technology
innovation and design changes, supply chain collaboration, and the introduction of volume production processes and advanced automation
to drive down costs.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Ballard expects to make a final investment decision
on this facility later in 2024, pending completion of customary conditions, including necessary approvals and definitive documentation.</P>
