“The Company successfully achieved several key milestones during the period. Most significant of these was the exit from Administration, completion of the $5.6 million capital raising and re-instatement of the Company’s shares to trading on the ASX.

About Volt
Volt Power Group Limited (ASX: VPR) is a power generation technology and infrastructure asset developer and owner.
The company is primarily focused on:
-
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 both ‘high’ and ‘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.
The global industrial complex vents a huge quantity of ‘high’ and ‘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 industrial waste heat.
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 agriculture, 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.
