Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG again partner for the expansion of the BOS
Digitalfunk network in Germany
- Order received for the delivery of 22 fuel cell based emergency power
solutions for sites for the digital radio network of public authorities
- Heliocentris market leader in equipping digital radio network stations
with fuel cell based emergency power solutions in Germany
- In the context of a nationwide initiative to harden the radio network
of public authorities it is expected that a significant number of radio
network stations will be provided with emergency power solutions in the
upcoming 2-3 years
Berlin, April 21, 2016 - Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG, which is listed
in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN DE000A1MMHE3),
announces that it has received an order for the delivery of further 22 fuel
cell emergency power systems for back-up power of digital radio network
stations for public authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS)
in a fourth federal state of Germany.
The order is part of a program to qualify and strengthen the network to
prolong autonomy times of the digital radio network stations up to 72 hours
in case of a power failure. The program aims to ensure the availability of
the stations in case of an extensive and prolonged power blackout. For
Heliocentris, the order including the services to be rendered adds a
revenue stream of about EUR 1.5m in the upcoming months.
With this new order, the number of digital radio network stations equipped
with Heliocentris' solutions increases to over 130 in Germany. The upgrade
of these stations with emergency power systems was co-financed by means of
the national innovation program Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology of the
Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. Four federal
states of Germany now use Heliocentris' fuel cells in their radio networks.
Heliocentris is hereby the biggest provider of fuel cell emergency power
systems for digital radio networks of public authorities in Germany.
A significant part of the c. 4500 digital radio network stations in Germany
is expected to be equipped with emergency power solutions for 72 hours
back-up time in the next few years. The considerable advantages of fuel
cells speak in favor of this technology prevailing over diesel generators.
The company is therefore optimally positioned to achieve revenues of
several million Euro per year in the context of this initiative. Further
turnover potential for the coming years in Germany is expected by
Heliocentris in other segments of critical infrastructure (for example
railways, utilities).
Dr. Henrik Colell, CTO of Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG, comments: "Our
fuel cell solutions clearly outclass the emergency power solutions based on
diesel generators used so far for example in terms of reliability and
operating expenses. Our customers also confirm this advantage and the
competitiveness of our solutions. The order is a further signal that we are
on the right track with our strategy to develop and market hydrogen and
fuel cell based back up and storage solutions. In 2016, we will also
demonstrate this by installing our first systems in our core market - the
energy supply of mobile base stations outside of Europe. "
