German Distributor secures customers for first 100 BlueGens First German utility marketing BlueGen to customers
Ceramic Fuel Cells (AIM / ASX: CFU) a leading developer of
high efficiency and low emission power products for homes and
other buildings, and its sales partner sanevo blue energy
have successfully introduced BlueGen to the German
market.
After only six weeks into sanevo's marketing campaign,
sanevo
has received customer
commitments for its first order of 100 BlueGen units. Sanevo
has received commitments from public energy utilities in six
German states as well as from residential and commercial
customers. The BlueGen units are expected to be delivered and
installed over the next six months.
Sanevo's largest customer for BlueGen is Stadtwerke Aalen,
the local electricity and gas utility in
the region of Aalen in Southern Germany.
Working with sanevo, Stadtwerke Aalen is now the
first German utility to actively promote and support sales of
BlueGen to its customers, including by providing an incentive
payment to early BlueGen customers.
Ceramic Fuel Cells' Managing Director Brendan Dow said: "This
is a great start to our partnership with sanevo. There is
huge interest in BlueGen from customers and utilities in
Germany, plus supportive policy settings. We look forward to
delivering on these first orders and securing larger follow
on orders."
BlueGen
converts natural gas into electricity and heat
for hot water for homes and other
buildings. BlueGen delivers an electrical efficiency of up to
60 percent - the highest in the world. When the heat from
BlueGen is used to produce hot water, total efficiency
increases to up to 85 percent.
The launch offer by sanevo includes the supply and
installation of the BlueGen, plus complete integration with
hot water systems, as well as a three or ten-year
full-service contract, including maintenance, warranty and
support services.
Ceramic Fuel Cells appointed sanevo as a BlueGen distributor
in July last year, with an initial order for 100 BlueGen
units. sanevo has a target minimum of 500 units for delivery
in its second year and a target of 2,000 BlueGens over years
three and four.
In Germany a number of federal states are contemplating
market introduction programs for fuel- cell based micro CHP
systems. The federal state of Saxony has announced a '1,000
Basement Programme' to provide financial incentives for
installing fuel cell based micro CHP units. In late
2011 the state of North Rhine Westphalia also announced plans
to increase the share of CHP
electricity production to 25 percent, by providing funding of
EUR 250 million over several years to support the deployment
of local CHP systems.
