MEK Metretek Technology

Metretek Technologies, Inc. (Amex:MEK) reported that its PowerSecure subsidiary has in recent weeks secured contracts for the installation of Interactive Distributed Generation(R) (IDG(R)) systems valued at approximately $5 million in anticipated revenues to PowerSecure. According to Sidney Hinton, president and CEO of PowerSecure, the contracts range in value from $200,000 to over $3 million. "Of particular interest is the fact that the largest project stemmed from a contact initially developed through the marketing efforts of EnergyLite, a recently formed PowerSecure subsidiary which assists customers in reducing their energy use through investments in more energy-efficient technologies. This is a testament to the validity of our business model, for as we said at the time of its formation, it is our expectation that EnergyLite and PowerSecure will complement one another through the sharing of resources and customer leads. All told," added Hinton, "we are having an outstanding year thus far in 2006, and we believe we are laying the foundation for continued growth and success in 2007 and beyond." Hinton further noted that PowerSecure has identified the federal marketplace - including military facilities and government buildings - as an area where it can expand its business. "We are hiring experienced, talented personnel to enable us to penetrate this market," said Hinton, "and we look forward to seeing progress in what we believe will be a fruitful source of new business."
