Active Energy was established in March 2009 to manufacture and sell the VoltageMaster power optimiser as a solution for electricity and carbon reduction.

In September 2009, Active Energy was selected as a nominated supplier to the ESPO (Eastern Shire Purchasing Organisation) framework agreement for voltage optimisation equipment. This framework is open to the entire public sector.

During January 2010, Active Energy announced a strategic alliance with Southern Electrical Contracting (SEC), a subsidiary of Scottish and Southern. SEC selected VoltageMaster as the sole voltage optimiser to be offered to their customers. Active Energy has also been successful in winning a number of public sector tenders, most recently for the installation of VoltageMaster units in over fifty Ministry of Justice court houses throughout England.


There seems to be political wind supporting this company. Maybe they will come through financially too?

Worth watching progress.

Update re Revolutionary CoalSwitch™ Plant; Initial Full-Scale Reactor Test Completed

Active Energy, the London quoted international biomass based renewable energy and forestry management business, is pleased to announce that the first testing of the five-tonne-per-hour CoalSwitch™ plant in Utah, United States ('the Plant') was successfully completed late on Friday 29 December 2017. The initial results met all management expectations and further testing will continue this week.

The plant is now undergoing full commissioning which Active Energy expects to complete in the next several weeks, which will enable the Company to deliver commercial quantities of CoalSwitch™, its revolutionary fuel that that can be mixed in any ratio with coal fines or completely replace coal in existing coal-fired power stations, without retrofit, globally.

The first successful firing of the full-scale reactors proves that the technology is scalable to full commercial production and reinforces that the proven science developed represents a disruptive force for the global biomass industry. The next stage will be to complete commercial orders for CoalSwitch™, including the first order to a full-scale coal-fired power plant in Utah, USA.

The Plant has been constructed on a modular basis allowing further scale-up to larger plant sizes giving greater volumes of production which Active Energy currently expects to be no smaller than 10 tonne per hour plants. In addition, the Company's decision to construct the entire Plant in a containerised format allows for demounting and moving to global locations at short notice meaning that CoalSwitch™ plants can be located near to sources of wood waste or forestry residuals wherever they may be found.

Michael Rowan Active Energy Non-Executive Chairman said, "The first successful test firing of the Plant proves the technology and scalability of production. Our unique biomass fuel technology will contribute hugely to the environment globally due to its unique qualities and ability to be a direct drop in coal replacement fuel, meaning that without the requirement for retrofit, coal plants anywhere can now reduce their usage of coal and decrease emissions without significant investment.

"We are now entering the next phase of our development as we produce and deliver commercial quantities of production and receive first revenues from CoalSwitch™. These are exciting times and we have already received much interest from governments and corporates alike due to CoalSwitch™'s unique qualities and ability to utilise all types of cellulosic biomass (including the lowest quality forestry waste and residuals, waste wood, and other by-products from the global forestry industry) and to blend with reclaimed coal fines or burn as a standalone coal replacement. The Group is now establishing its environmental credentials and is ready to work with governments and corporations in the near future."

A bit of energy in the sp recently!

Up again. Interest growing!

Great potential for CoalSwitch™; early days but if it is all it is cracked up to be the sales will be huge. Topped up this morning, will sit and watch now.

All time high for volume looking at 10 year chart here

Woosh! Hotter than a CoalSwitch™ pellet! I am sure there is a lot more to come. It is probably not widely known that this product can replace coal for domestic use as well as commercial.

Rocky Mountain Power, a unit of Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., plans to run full scale commercial tests of CoalSwitch™ at its thermal power plant in Utah. The results will be interesting!😊

You have been ploughing a lone furrow kim. I agree, the technology is starting to look interesting.

I hope I am right iturama! This coming week will be AEG's big moment, after 9 years of developing CoalSwitch™ they deserve success.

Interesting news release. It would be useful to know how this monetises but they are making good progress.

CoalSwitch plant to become fully operational this week.

Game changing. The future looks bright!

Nice. :-))

I hope there is a lot more to come!😊

Yes, nice move upwards. First time I've seen the award of options give such a boost to the price. :) Lot of US buying, I suspect.

Still moving up. May become the flavour of the month.

Already tasty!😊

£1 by Christmas...

Well, maybe 50p!😃
