I came across a blog called "The Green Clean Tech Blog." This post (below) is particularly salient. Full story can be found here: cleangreentech.blogspot.com

"From time to time we intend to write about companies that we feel are strategically well positioned, are near the point of capitalizing on their strong position and have recently added to their management teams. The first in this series of write-ups is VRB Power Systems, Inc., of Richmond, BC, Canada."

And this part was particularly interesting...

"The markets for...VRB-ESS...may be near a growth inflection point where a few large orders lead to higher volume manufacturing and reduced manufacturing costs, lower selling prices, which in turn lead to increased market share and additional new orders."

"The overall market for energy storage in the USA is estimated to be about 10GW per annum until 2010 (Distributed Utility Resources, Wachovia Securities 2002 energy report, et al) and over 100GWh. This includes applications of energy arbitrage, power quality and load leveling (peak shaving). Using these figures and a projected sales price for the VRB-ESS of $450/kWh, the market potential is estimated at approximately $4.5 Billion/year. [DOE estimates of market benefits are $3.8 Billion/year and Pearl Street $11 Billion/year]"
