First post, anybody watching this ?, I can easily imagine this stock being valued
above 5 in 2008 , regardless of drops in the markets, reading through the rns(s)
this seems to have staggering potential, when earnings come they will be hefty!

Disappointing drop here in the sp...hoping for a recovery soon !

well share price is recovering all be it a year later, long way to go...

I was just looking at this not a minute ago...you must have read my mind....could be a fantastic success one day !.

Encouraging news. We may see a rapid take up of ZEN's products now.


Successful Testing of FCL Design
U.S. Department of Energy Project Update

Zenergy Power (AIM:ZEN.L), the superconductor energy technology company, is pleased to announce that it has completed the successful testing of a further design type of its grid stability device, known as a Fault Current Limiter ('FCL'). The tests were carried out as part of an ongoing US$11million U.S. Department of Energy funded project to assist the Group with its development of a 'high-voltage' version of its patented FCL device. As announced in March of this year, Zenergy Power proudly became the first company to ever install and operate a superconductor FCL in the United States electricity grid following the installation of one of its 'medium-voltage' devices into the Avanti distribution grid by Southern California Edison. Since that time, the Group has continued its development of a second design type of FCL known as the 'compact' design which will form the basis of the Group's high-voltage product.

The successful outcome of these tests means that the 'compact' design is now considered to be fully validated as the platform architecture for the production of the Group's first high-voltage device. Moreover, this validation gives the Group further confidence in its ability to complete the development work under the funded project and, accordingly, is well positioned to advance the selection of a utility partner for what is expected to be the installation of the first high-voltage FCL into the United States electricity grid. The Group is currently engaged in a number of extensive discussions with potential utility partners for the next stage of the U.S. Department of Energy project and it will update shareholders in due course.

Further to this, the Board also notes its satisfaction with the timely progression of the U.S. Department of Energy project that is accelerating the commercial availability of Zenergy Power's high-voltage FCL product. The commercial importance of the high-voltage FCL is significant and - together with the existing medium-voltage product - forms the basis of a grid stability solution designed to directly address high-power stability issues at both medium and high-voltage sections of the grid. More specifically, the high-voltage FCL has commercial applications relating to the long distance transmission of electricity meaning the Group is positioning itself to be able to work with utility companies as they begin to invest in grid infrastructures in preparation of the large-scale integration of renewable electricity generation. It is widely recognised by utilities, governments and regulators that the large-scale integration of renewable energy into already overstretched electricity girds represents a major challenge to the maintenance of stability and efficiency. It is estimated that blackouts already cost the U.S. economy between US$104bn and US$164bn every year. Zenergy Power's FCL, designed in close consultation with utility companies in the United States, directly addresses grid stability issues by absorbing the large amounts of energy associated electrical power surges, preventing damage to grid equipment and safeguarding the supply of electricity to end-users.

Jens Mueller, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

'The successful outcome of these tests represents a major milestone within our commercialisation roadmap and we are now ideally positioned to progress towards what will be a landmark installation of a high-voltage FCL unit. I would like to thank the US Department of Energy for the significant financial support being made available for our high-voltage FCL development work. Over the course of our technology development we have been engaged with a number of the utility companies in the US and are acutely aware of the strength of demand that exists for the grid protection afforded by our FCL. The ongoing large-scale integration of renewable electricity generation is further increasing this demand and it is testament to the Department of Energy's support that we have been able to so quickly progress towards the high-voltage market.

Following the installation of the first of our medium-voltage FCL's in March of this year, I am confident that we will move quickly to establish a utility partner for the high-voltage installation in due course. Once installed, we will be in a position to supply our superconductor solution at a time when utility companies will be looking to address the significant challenges of increasing electricity demand and renewable energy integration.'

Yes I'm very positive for the Future of ZEN. Have left an order to increase my stake on Monday morning. Very good value at these levels, sufficient cash for 2010/2011 and news of new orders will send this upwards.

Glad to see such confidence exuded by management too with regards them meeting broker forecasts, I would therefore expect several orders to be announced in the near term.

Am very excited re the potential of the above Kimoldfield, its a great technology and an area where the US G'ment has committed substantial resource. ZEN set to benefit IMO.

Slow but steady progress G D P!

Coil Delivery for Superconducting Renewable Energy Generator

Zenergy Power (AIM:ZEN.L), the superconductor energy technology company, is pleased to announce that it has successfully produced the first complete set of superconducting coils required for the construction of a full-scale superconducting electricity generator. This achievement has particular significance in not only demonstrating Zenergy Power's ability to scale production with a high degree of consistency, uniformity, quality and reliability; but also in enabling the completion of construction work on what is to be the world's first superconducting hydropower generator. The groundbreaking machine is a 1.7MW hydro power generator, which will be installed into the commercial hydro power station of E.ON Wasserkraft GmbH ('E.ON') in the early part of 2010. Once installed, the superconducting generator will be responsible for the supply of electricity to over 3,000 homes in the local area.

The timely and efficient production of the complete set of superconducting coils represents a significant technical milestone and the management of Zenergy Power is pleased to report that all 28 full-scale electromagnetic coils required for the generator were manufactured with throughput and production yields matching their highest expectations. Following the completion of extensive testing, the Group has now shipped the set of superconducting coils to its collaborative development partner (and project leader responsible for overall generator design), Converteam UK Ltd who will begin the final construction work on the full-scale machine. Accordingly, Zenergy Power is pleased to note that the ongoing collaborative project (initiated in late 2006 by the European Commission to accelerate the deployment of a superconducting hydropower generator) has now progressed through research and development to the final stages of physical assembly taking place at the world class manufacturing facilities of Converteam in the UK.

The good news just keeps flowing Kimoldfield!

Development Grant for 2G wires


Zenergy Power (AIM:ZEN.L), the superconductor energy technology company, is pleased to announce that its German subsidiary, has received further government funding for its work on the development of patented low-cost production techniques for the mass-manufacture of 2nd Generation ('2G') superconducting wires. The Group's unique 'all-chemical' production approach is set to significantly reduce the cost of superconductor wires and facilitate the Group's intention of supplying high efficiency superconducting generators to the global renewable energy market. It is anticipated that the use of superconductor applications could dramatically reduce the cost of producing renewable energy and in recognition of this the German government has agreed to fund a 400,000 development project named 'Keramet'. The project has been granted by the Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology and approved by the German Parliament and makes available to Zenergy Power's in-house engineers the additional renowned materials expertise of THEVA Dnschichttechnik GmbH ('THEVA').


Together, Zenergy Power and THEVA will use the funding to develop advanced layering techniques to support and accelerate Zenergy Power's ongoing 2G development program. Zenergy Power has secured a variety of third party support for its ground-breaking development work which has to date included; direct funding from the European Union and the U.S Department of Energy; co-operative development contributions from the world-renowned, U.S. Government backed, Sandia National Laboratories; and - most importantly - the establishment of long-term cooperation agreements with major industrial entities including ThyssenKrupp VDM and Honeywell. This latest round of financial support from the German Government is also considered by the Board to lend further validation to significant economic and environmental benefits that can be realised by the availability of Zenergy Power's low-cost superconductor wires.


Jens Mueller, Chief Executive Officer, commented:


'The commercial opportunities that exist for the Group's ground-breaking renewable energy generators are substantial and growing. In order to capture these opportunities we must deliver to the market not only the superior electrical performance that comes from using superconductors but also most economically viable products. The development work we have been doing on low-cost production techniques for 2G wires is key to this and I would like to thank both the German Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology and THEVA for their support of our development activities.'


Superconductivity and Renewable Energy Generation


As widely documented, Zenergy Power is currently working with its collaborative partner, Converteam SAS ('Converteam'), on the development and manufacture of the world's first superconducting electricity generator. The ground-breaking machine, which is due for installation into E.On AG's commercial hydro-dam in January 2010 will, for the first time, adopt high-efficiency superconducting components at the core of its design to significantly increase the amount of electricity that can be produced from E.On's dam located in Bavaria, Germany. Further to this, Zenergy Power and Converteam are also using the incredible electrical properties of superconductors to produce a light-weight 10MW direct-drive wind generator specifically for the offshore market. It is anticipated that the weight savings achieved through the use of superconductors could lead to a 25% reduction in the overall cost of offshore wind energy.


The development program for the superconductor generators continues to progress well, and accordingly the Group remains confident of its ability to capture the substantial commercial opportunities that exist within the growing renewable energy generation markets. In support of this, ongoing discussions with a number of industry participants continue to support management's view of economic attraction of superconductor generators which are capable of overcoming the industry's persistent problems with efficiency, weight, size and reliability. It is in relation to the positive outlook for the Group's renewable energy activities that the Board duly notes the importance of this latest grant and the overall development of the Group's '2G' low-cost superconducting wires. As previously announced, it is the intention of the Zenergy Power to use its proprietary low-cost 2G wires in the mass manufacture of renewable energy generators to ensure that the superconducting machines are not only the most technically superior solution on the market but also the most cost effective.

Dipped my toe this morning. I think there's a good story here.

In as well....has to be an increase in the sp coming before Christmas..

We need to see some orders before the SP takes off...

this is an interesting company at an interesting price. anyone think so?

Yes, but as with many innovative companies, it is finding it hard to achieve meaningful sales. The recession could not have happened at a worse time for this company, though how much of a bearing it has really had is difficult to say. I feel that the next 12 months will be make or break for Zenergy, but that is just my opinion. A risky buy at present.

thanks for opinion kimo. definately an interesting one to watch over the coming months perhaps. like you said though this is a risky punt at the moment, but you don't get anywhere without taking some risks. at this price it could be worth sticking a toe in i feel :)

True; not a big toe just yet though, unless you can afford to lose it!

One wonders who these folk are that their company can outperform the large engineering boys in electrical distribution, with their resources and contacts.
This is like "perpetual motion" something that grabs attention of those who are easily parted from their money....does it exist "superconductivity" - sure it does as an experiment in a small-scale (provided you can maintain the low temperatures, which needs enormous energy). Is it worth doing....no, because the first failure of the freezer and bang! goes your income along with red-faces at "'he works".
I believe there are "better ways" of transmitting energy over long distances (like our National Grid), but they have to be robust - to withstand wind rain and storm (inc lightning) if they are outside. If they are in a trench, then there will be delays over planning, securing the route, crossing rivers, valleys....Grief.
This was well over 1 earlier 2010, now 24p, on the back of a 6% rise (er, why?).

These people have contracts with big companies......sooner or later it should take off again.....

Another way undervalued company....this was 300p if I remember at one time....24p now.....and nothing since then has changed.....reckon....this will rocket sooner or later....

Takeover time.....will be bought out much higher....I would think....

My understanding of this co. is that the M/Cap and cash are very close,15m cash is
the figure mentioned? Just repeating a holders comments, so DYOR.

Just cannot believe the disinterest in this company....their patents could be worth hundreds of millions of pounds to a larger group plus the market cap is 17 million with 15 million cash in the coffers......why is this not 40p or so or more....am I missing something here ?....
