Pnu Power DC100 Data Centre Installation

Co-operative Financial Services will be installing the first three Pnu Power DC100 units to protect the IT facilities at the Pyramid Building in Stockport.

Energetix Group plc, (AIM: EGX), which develops and commercialises alternative and efficient energy products,, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Energetix Pnu Power Limited ("the Company") has today entered into a agreement with Co-operative Financial Services ("CFS") to supply three of their DC100 compressed air batteries as part of their live power backup system.

This system will provide backup power to the data centre in the prestigious Cooperative Pyramid building in Stockport UK. As part of the terms of supply of this system CFS has agreed that the Company can use this installation for marketing; it will also provide a high profile demonstration site for the Pnu Power data centre solution which is both highly reliable and reduces energy costs and CO2 emissions. 

DC100's flexible backup time, high efficiency and low maintenance are key benefits of the design. Internal estimates by the Company suggest that a typical 2MW Data Centre could save more than £1.75 million of electricity over its 20 year life by installing the Pnu Power DC100 solution rather than a typical rotary system, and also reduce total CO2 emissions by over 90% over that period.

To date, the Pnu Power product range has been sold in to the telecommunications and grid switching markets with systems in the 2 to 20kW range. This installation at the Pyramid Building will increase the product range up to 300 kW and will be the first system deployed in the higher powered data centre market.

Research has shown that the IT industry is responsible for around 2% of the world's carbon emissions and data centres are the fastest growing part of that footprint. In addition the industry is now highly focused on implementing solutions that will reduce energy expenses and carbon emissions associated with data centre operations. It is predicted that, the investment in greener data centres will experience rapid growth over the next five years, increasing from $7.5 billion in global revenue to $41.4 billion by 2015, representing 28% of the total data centre market.

Amrik Kandola, Facilities Project Manager - the Co-operative Group, commented: "We are delighted to be installing the Pnu Power system into our Pyramid Building. We visited the Pnu Power facility in Chester on several occasions before deciding that this is the ideal solution for our power protection needs. We look forward to gaining operational experience so we can evaluate the system for larger facilities in the future."

Neil Bright, Chief Operating Officer - Energetix Group, stated: "We are delighted that we have been able to secure such a prestigious reference site so soon after the announcement and demonstration of our Pnu Power data centre product range. We are very pleased that Co-operative Financial Services has agreed that we can use this installation as a demonstration and reference point to the wider data centre market."

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 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 has been obtained and initial units have been installed in employee homes. It is expected that CE certification of the power module will follow. 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.
