Energetix Group Plc

("Energetix" or the "Company")

Order from Calor Gas Limited ("Calor Gas") and MOU signed to Commercialise LPG Market

Energetix Group plc, (AIM: EGX), which develops and commercialises alternative and efficient energy products, announces that its subsidiary Energetix Genlec Limited ("Genlec") has today received an order from Calor Gas for the development and delivery of the first prototype liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) appliances. In conjunction with the order Genlec has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Calor Gas to develop and commercialise an LPG variant of the Company's Kingston microCHP product.

This order extends the Company's development of its natural gas fired Kingston microCHP appliance and should allow it to address the 2 million off-gas grid homes in the UK and through Calor Gas' parent, SHV Energy, to give access to more than 25 million properties across Europe.

In parallel to the development and testing of the LPG appliance, Calor Gas and Genlec have agreed to negotiate the terms of a commercial agreement under which Calor Gas would train its Calor Force installation and after care service personnel, and develop a sales, marketing plan and launch plan for the product. In addition Calor Gas would establish a distribution route and commit to minimum purchase volumes in exchange for exclusive use of the LPG Kingston microCHP product.

Paul Riding, Innovation & Policy Manager, Calor Gas, said"We fully recognise the important role that microCHP will play in the future of heating market in the UK.  We are pleased to be working closely with Energetix with the aim of launching a low cost microCHP solution for our Customers.  When available, the Kingston LPG microCHP should help to reduce both the size of fuel bills and CO2 emissions of homes beyond the gas grid."

Commenting Tony Stiff, Group Commercial Director of Energetix Group, said: "Building on our microCHP platform development to access off-gas grid markets is an obvious step forward for the Company and working with Calor Gas Ltd. to begin the exploitation of this market will bring their considerable expertise in the off-gas grid 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 energy generation for domestic dwellings.

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

In addition, Energetix has a c.27% 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 2011/2012 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.
