MicroPlanet HVR™ Product Goes Live at Puget Sound Energy
US Pacific Northwest utility completes installation of MicroPlanet High Voltage Regulators™ (HVR™) to
maximize efficiency of its distribution system by regulating voltage to homes
Seattle, WA. – November 10, 2005 – MicroPlanet Technology Corp. (TSXV:MP) (“MicroPlanet” or the
“Company”), a developer of distributed-energy technologies to improve electric power grid reliability
and efficiency announced today the completion of a product deployment of the Company’s High Voltage
Regulators™ (HVR™) at Puget Sound Energy .
Puget Sound Energy, a US Pacific Northwest utility serving 988,000 customers, completed the
installation phase of 45 MicroPlanet HVRs™ to maximize efficiency of its distribution system by
regulating voltage to homes. The HVR™ is a point-of-consumption voltage regulator that is installed at
the delivery interface between the electric grid and the utilities customer.
The installation is part of a multi-year initiative to improve the efficiency of the Pacific Northwest
electric distribution system through a technology transfer program conducted by the Northwest Energy
Efficiency Alliance (“the Alliance”). The Alliance program – called the Distribution Efficiency Initiative
overseeing the installation, is a non-profit group of electric utilities, state governments, public interest
groups and efficiency industry representatives.
MicroPlanet’s High Voltage Regulator™ provides an energy efficiency tool that can be rapidly deployed
for peak load reduction, conservation and an interface for distributed generation such as fuel cells, wind
turbines, solar devices or microturbines. The HVR™ reduces energy consumption by improving the
efficiency of the existing connection to the utility distribution infrastructure and can help reduce
operating and capital expenditures for electric utilities by reducing exposure to the spot market for
power and offering a significantly lower cost alternative to traditional generation, transmission and
distribution infrastructure. HVR™ is the fastest and cheapest way to increase grid capacity, with no
environmental impact.
