It is a start to one in every home. VRB-ESS Sale to Australian Housing Developer for a Solar Application Thursday September 22, 9:30 am ET VANCOUVER, Sept. 22 /CNW/ - VRB Power Systems Inc. (TSX-V: VRB - News) is pleased to announce the sale of a 10 kilowatt-hour VRB Energy Storage System. The system was sold by Pinnacle VRB Ltd., a distributor of the VRB-ESS for VRB Power in Australia. The VRB energy storage system has been bought by one of Australia's leading sustainable housing designers and developers, Phil Little Design Foundation, a Queensland based charitable foundation that has been established to develop and deliver intelligent, sustainable housing solutions. ADVERTISEMENT The VRB-ESS will be installed in an energy efficient, modular, solar powered "kit" home. These homes which are powered by solar energy will use the VRB-ESS to provide an un-interruptible supply of electrical energy. The home contains many unique features that greatly assist in minimizing the necessity for grid connections. The developer is working with the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane City Council and the Environmental Protection Agency to oversee the installation and on-site economic assessment of the unit, which is scheduled for delivery in January 2006. Upon successful completion of the demonstration phase of the modular Solar Home project, the VRB energy storage system could form a fundamental element in the commercialised final product. Where Solar Homes are grouped, the variable power and capacity features of VRB energy storage systems can allow for the economic interconnection of systems to accommodate fluctuating levels of power demand from home owners with differing energy use profiles. About VRB Power Based in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, VRB Power Systems Inc. ("VRB Power") is an electrochemical energy storage company that has commercialized the patented VRB Energy Storage System ("VRB-ESS") and has acquired the intellectual property rights comprising the Regenesys Energy Storage System ("RGN-ESS"). Both technologies represent a new enabling capability to effectively store electricity on demand. They can provide direct economic benefits to utilities and end users in terms of improved power quality, reliability and energy efficiency. They are particularly well suited to load levelling (peak shaving), electrical power arbitrage, grid stability enhancements, capital deferment and Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS) applications. The company is focused on stationary power sources such as utility substations, commercial buildings, production facilities, telecommunication operations, cellular radio sites, and renewable resource generation such as wind farms - creating the ability to provide "firm" capacity. As a "green" technology, the VRB-ESS is characterized by having a low ecological impact and is unlike most other conventional energy storage systems that rely on toxic substances such as lead or cadmium. VRB Power is publicly listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("VRB") and the OTC Pinksheets ("VRBPF"). Warning: The Company relies upon litigation protection for "forward-looking statements" "The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release" Vince Sorace President, VRB Power Systems Inc.
