Directorate Change

28th Oct 2011 07:00

RNS Number : 0102R
Energetix Group plc
28 October 2011
 



Energetix Group plc

("Energetix" or the "Company")

 

Directorate Change

 

Energetix Group plc, (AIM: EGX), which develops and commercialises alternative and efficient energy products, announces that Neil Bright, Group Operations Director, has today retired from the Board and has left the Company.

 

Neil, aged 64, has played an important role in developing the Company to its current position and, as announced at the Interim Results in September, it was Neil's intention to retire in the current financial year.

 

Neil's focus has been on setting in place the correct operational structures to ensure that the Company's innovative clean energy products are brought to full development and that the business is in good shape to exploit the commercial opportunities for these products.

 

The recent changes to the Board reflect the Company's transition from a development Company into a business pursuing a commercialisation strategy for its products. In May, Energetix announced the appointment of Clare Spottiswoode as Non-Executive Chairman, and earlier this month the appointment of Tony Stiff as Commercial Director.

 

Adrian Hutchings, Chief Executive Officer of Energetix, commented: "We are very grateful for Neil's contribution to Energetix, as he has ensured that we have the best operational structures in place to execute our commercial strategy and realise the huge potential of our products. We wish him the very best for the future."

About Energetix Group plc

 

Energetix Group plc is a developer of cost-effective products to meet the growing global demand for alternative energy, with particular focus on distributed generation, energy storage, and energy efficiency. Currently Energetix has two subsidiary businesses:

 

Genlec  - distributed energy generation for domestic dwellings.

 

Pnu Power - back-up power for the Telecom, Technology and power transmission markets.

 

In addition, Energetix has a c.43% stake in VPhase plc, an energy efficiency business Energetix created and subsequently spun out of Energetix in 2010. VPhase is now a standalone independently funded commercial venture.

 

With all technology development now completed Energetix is well positioned as both its subsidiaries move into the latter phases of commercialisation with their best-of-breed solutions.

 

Genlec

Genlec has developed a highly efficient, compact and light weight, wall mounted microCHP (Combined Heat and Power) appliance known as the Kingston Boiler. The Kingston boiler is specifically designed to generate 1kW of electrical power to meet the UK's Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) to enable UK owners to receive the Government's 10p/ kWh feed in tariff for approved microCHP devices. The Kingston boiler therefore has an inherent low total cost of ownership (initial outlay plus maintenance) and has already demonstrated industry leading payback cycles which many analysts believe is the key to unlocking this significant market opportunity.

 

CE certification of the boiler has been obtained and initial units have been installed in employee homes. It is expected that a new version of the Kingston boiler will be deployed to several potential high volume customers during the 2011 winter heating cycle for testing and verification. Genlec is currently developing its supply chain and sales channels to address this significant and rapidly growing market opportunity.

 

Pnu Power

Pnu Power focuses on the provision of compressed air back-up power which can ensure an uninterruptible power supply for critical systems, particularly for the telecoms, data centre and power transmission markets. Pnu Power range has been extended to include the DC100 product that can now meet the demand of the rapidly growing Green Data Centre market, providing a low carbon alternative to flywheels. Pnu Power has been successful in achieving repeat trial sales and is now poised to move out of the trial sales phase and into full volume commercial sales.

 

Energetix Group joined AIM in August 2006. The Group and its subsidiaries and associates are all based near Chester, NW England.
