Power anticipates having in excess of $15 million in working
capital to execute our aggressive business plan. We will replicate
our proven model for success in targeted US regions to help
building owners use less energy and save on operating costs by
eliminating overvoltage.”

entire building to reduce total energy consumption and power costs,
while maximizing equipment life. The solution provides customers
risk free energy savings, improves the value of their physical

recognized as the top performing cleantech company on the TSX
Venture Exchange.
