("Energetix" or "the Group")
Energetix Pnu Power awarded CE certification
Energetix Group PLC (AIM: EGX), a leading developer of new and sustainable alternative energy products, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Energetix Pnu Power Limited ('Pnu Power') has been awarded CE Certification for its TC1 and TC2 compressed air energy backup systems. The CE Certification follows a series of rigorous tests by an independent test house specialising in this area.
Pnu Power produces ultra-reliable back-up power solutions, using compressed air, for telecommunications, data centres, utility switching and other mission-critical industrial operations. The Pnu Power technology outperforms conventional back-up power solutions in terms of reliability and safety, particularly in harsh environments such as those with high temperatures or humidity.
The TC1 and TC2 units are 1 kW and 2 kW DC standby power systems, specifically developed for utility switching and telecoms applications. The CE certification covers, among other areas, the key requirements of:
Safety compliance;
Electromagnetic Compatibility - both emissions and immunity.
Adrian Hutchings, CEO of Energetix Group, comments: "We are very pleased that the TC1 and TC2 units are the first of Energetix Pnu Power's products to achieve the exacting standards required for CE compliance. The CE mark is testimony to our systematic design and engineering processes, combined with the quality of the Group's major supply partners.
"It is important that we can demonstrate to our current and potential customers that Energetix Pnu Power has robust standards in place - especially as we look to develop our business into utility and telecoms markets, where standby power is required for mission-critical loads.
"Pnu Power has already been successfully evaluated by trial customers in South Africa, has received a significant order from the USA and, only this morning, announced a contract for Telecom Italia. CE certification is expected to assist Pnu Power's global sales and marketing drive considerably, adding to our growing international sales pipeline."

About Energetix Group plc
Energetix Group plc is a leading developer of new and sustainable alternative energy products. The Group operates by identifying key market demands for efficient, reliable and cost-effective energy provision and by developing a range of core technologies that address these market needs.
Energetix was established by Adrian Hutchings in 1997, having spent the previous four years at British Nuclear Fuels plc ("BNFL") developing alternative energy products and identifying new business ventures for energy systems.
Adrian and his highly experienced team floated the Group on AIM in August 2006 and are currently focusing on the following core technologies: Genlec, a micro combined heat and power (CHP) product for the domestic boiler market; and Pnu Power, an electro-mechanical energy store for uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for commercial applications. These global markets are currently valued at £8bn per annum and in excess of £1.2bn per annum respectively.
Energetix focuses on solutions that are easy and cost-effective to manufacture, and which can realise payback for the end-user quickly. It targets innovations that can readily replace conventional, inefficient devices and which require minimal shifts in consumer behaviour to adopt.
In September 2007, the Group listed a third business, Energetix Voltage Control Limited, on AIM, under the name of VPhase plc. Energetix retains a 49.4% shareholding in VPhase, which is developing a range of technologies designed to reduce energy consumption whilst at the same time seeking to make use of existing proven components. Its first such product is a device that controls the incoming voltage to a property, saving energy and increasing appliance life.
Energetix Group and its subsidiaries are all based near Chester, NW England.
