About Volt

PRINCIPAL OFFICE

Volt Power Group Limited (ASX: VPR) is a power generation technology and infrastructure asset / equipment developer and owner.

The company is primarily focused on:

REGISTERED OFFICE

  • the enhancement and commercialisation of its ATEN Technology - a low emission waste heat to electricity generation solution; and

  • the expansion of its broader renewable and low emission power generation and infrastructure asset / equipment footprint.

ATEN Technology comprises a modular, power generation equipment package capable of harvesting ‘low’ grade industrial waste heat to generate zero emission electricity. ATEN generated electricity is expected to significantly reduce ‘energy intensive’ industry operating costs via the displacement of grid sourced electricity or fossil fuel usage associated with electricity generation.

(under construction)

The global industrial complex generally vents ‘low’ grade waste heat to atmosphere. The quantity of unexploited waste heat created by global industry presents an outstanding opportunity for the commercial roll-out of the ATEN Technology.

The ATEN’s simple, high efficiency design and modular configuration - developed to maximise its integration capability - provides a low capex, uniquely compatible and scalable solution for the exploitation of ‘low grade’ industrial waste heat. Volt’s priority target markets for the commercialization of the ATEN Technology include the resources and industrial processing sectors.

Volt’s largest shareholder is ECM Pty Ltd (ECM). ECM is one of Australia’s largest, privately owned construction and maintenance companies servicing clients in the mining, oil and gas, infrastructure and power generation sectors. The business has a national footprint with extensive project execution and delivery capability having completed the construction and commissioning of power stations and processing infrastructure across mainland Australia for 30+ years.

The Company’s office is co-located at the ECM headquarters and fabrication facility - 20kms south of the Perth CBD in Henderson, Western Australia.
