Cleantech Invest portfolio company Enersize receives first larger customer payment from revenue sharing project in China

Cleantech Invest portfolio company Enersize, of which Cleantech Invest owns 44%,
has during the last year implemented its cloud-based energy saving software for
compressed air systems at several large scale industrial sites in China. The
business model of Enersize is to share the profit from achieved energy savings
with the customers during a 3-4 year contract period.

Enersize’s first major customer to enter into the revenue sharing phase is one
of the worlds largest flat screen manufacturers, Bejing Opto Electronics (BOE).
Enersize has now received the first 300 000 EUR payment based on accomplished
energy savings. The total expected income for Enersize during the BOE contract
period alone is estimated to exceed 1.2 MEUR.

Enersize sees the received payment is as an important reference for a number of
reasons. It shows that Enersize contract model works well in China; As agreed
milestones are met, payments happen. Second, the customer itself is important;
BOE has several other large scale manufacturing plants, where this installation
acts as a pilot for implementing Enersize system at other BOE sites. Finally,
the successful project acts as an important reference towards other future
customers.

Enersize CEO, Sami Mykkänen :

We think this milestone proves that we have hit the sweet spot we were aiming at
with our focus on China. In the manufacturing heavy China, these compressed air
systems  account for almost 10% of the total electricity consumption, compared
to 5% globally. With typically 15-30% savings from an annual 2-7 MEUR energy
bill, there is both a huge financial gain as well as a strong environmental
upside for our customers. From now on we also have solid proof that our business
model works al the way to receiving payments.

Cleantech Invest CEO Alexander Lidgren:

We have known for a while that Enersize has a huge potential for Cleantech
Invest once the revenue sharing projects start paying off and could not be
happier to see it now start to happen. This is a big deal for us as we are the
major shareholder in Enersize with 44% ownership and have also taken an active
role in securing project financing for these revenue sharing projects. CEO Sami
Mykkänen has been living in a suitcase last years building relations, doing pre
-studies and signing several contracts with large Chinese clients, we are very
happy to see the hard working efforts by the entire company start paying off and
have high expectations for the coming years.
