("Energetix" or "the Group")
Pnu Power order from Bimex Energy AG in Switzerland
Energetix Group plc, (AIM: EGX), which develops and commercialises alternative and efficient energy products, announces that its subsidiary Energetix Pnu Power Limited ("the Company") has today received an order from Bimex Energy AG for a 3KVA compressed air UPS system. Bimex Energy AG (http://www.bimex.ch) is based in Switzerland and is a distributer of power solutions for the data centre market.
To date, the Pnu Power product range has been sold in to the telecommunications and grid switching markets with systems in the 2 to 300kW range. This unit will be used to promote the compressed air battery solutions in Switzerland. Unlike batteries and flywheels, Pnu Power UPS systems have very low energy usage in standby mode, cost less to operate, are low maintenance and are consistently dependable.
Today's market for data centre Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is characterised by the need for higher capacity per unit of space, energy efficiency and an increasing interest in alternative (non-lead-acid-battery-based) energy storage solutions, according to the latest data from Frost & Sullivan.
Neil Bright, Chief Operating Officer of Energetix Group, stated:
"We have been working closely with Bimex Energy AG to promote our products and we are delighted that they are purchasing a unit to help promote our complete product range, throughout Switzerland. We will be supporting Bimex at the Ineltec (Technology Fair for Building and Infrastructure) in September and we will be showcasing a live demonstration of a compressed air UPS at this trade show."

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 generation in the home;
·; Pnu Power - compressed air back-up power;
as well as 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. Energetix's stake in VPhase was valued at £7.3m as at 31 December 2010.
With all technology development now substantially completed Energetix is well funded to move into the commercialisation stage.
Genlec has developed a compact and light weight, wall mounted microCHP (Combined Heat and Power) appliance known as the Kingston Boiler. The appliance has been designed to generate 1kW of electrical power and meet the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) requirements to enable access to the Government's feed in tariff. The Kingston boiler is inherently low-cost in initial outlay and maintenance, and UK owners of approved microCHP products have the additional benefit of receiving a 10p/ kWh feed-in tariff on every kWh of electricity generated.
CE certification of the boiler and power module has been obtained and initial units have been installed in employee home. Genlec will carry on field testing whilst continuing market engagement through multiple channel partners to continue commercial sales and establish a basis for growth from 2012.
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 and power network 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.
