  • First revenue, generated directly as a result of this Opcon Powerbox installation, expected early 2H 2011

Enerji Limited (“ Enerji ” or the “ Company ”) ( ASX: ERJ ) has completed a Power Purchase Agreement (“ PPA ”) with Horizon Power for the installation of an Opcon Powerbox at the Carnarvon Power Station in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.

The PPA, which is the first such agreement to be signed between Enerji and a customer, is a major milestone and follows the earlier Memorandum of Understanding which the two companies signed in October 2010.

The PPA sets out the commercial and legally binding terms and conditions for the installation of the Opcon Powerbox, including the energy off-take framework, service and maintenance procedures.

Following installation, revenue will be generated through electricity created by the Opcon Powerbox and sold back to Horizon Power. The Powerbox has the capacity to increase the power station’s energy output by up to 700kW without burning additional fuel or creating emissions.

Enerji’s Managing Director, Greg Pennefather said the PPA was a significant achievement for the Company and heralds growing industry confidence in the Opcon Powerboxes’ significant economic and environmental benefits.

“I am delighted to sign the first PPA – which is undoubtedly Enerji’s most significant milestone to date,” said Mr Pennefather.

“We are in advanced negotiations with a number of companies regarding further Opcon Powerbox installations and I believe today’s announcement creates a strong platform for our sales pipeline – and I have no doubt that our potential customers will look positively on the signing of our first PPA with such a distinguished company as Horizon Power.

Horizon Power’s General Manager Shared Services Peter Jensen said Horizon Power was looking forward to working with Enerji to deliver this exciting project.

“Horizon Power is looking forward to using this innovative technology at the Carnarvon Power Station to improve the efficiency of power generation, and at the same time, reducing carbon dioxide emissions.”
