                                  Core Patent                                  

Zenergy Power plc (AIM:ZEN.L), the specialist developer and manufacturer of
commercial applications for superconductive materials, is pleased to announce
that it has received Notice of Allowance from the US Patent Office for the
issuance of its core patent surrounding the production of an industrial-scale
surge protector designed to protect electrical grid equipment from the damaging
effects of power surges. Developed over a number of years and in conjunction
with several utility companies, the Group employs high-temperature
superconductors ('HTS') in a compact and lightweight product that is capable of
safely absorbing the huge levels of energy associated with electrical power
surges. The Group's innovative product thus has the potential to prevent
blackouts and eliminate costly equipment damage to national grids.

Global demand for these surge protectors, known as Fault Current Limiters
(`FCL'), from national utility companies and local power grid operators has
grown significantly in recent years as electrical grids and infrastructures
have become progressively more compromised as a result of their inability to
manage the effects of an increase in power surges. This has led to frequent
incidences of blackouts and soaring liability claims against utility companies
for resulting losses and damage.

In response to direct approaches from utility companies, Zenergy has applied
its expertise in HTS materials and applications to successfully develop a
unique FCL solution, which is the subject of this patent. The innovation
utilises a mix of proprietary designs, materials and cryogenics expertise to
yield an enhanced FCL product that benefits from the inherent superconductive
properties of the Group's HTS materials and their ability to deliver 100 times
the power density of copper wires. As a result, the Group's FCL is
significantly lighter and more compact than any existing solution. Moreover,
the design of the FCL incorporates, at the request of the utility companies, a
number of features which distinguishes it from other available solutions. In
particular, it is capable of instantaneously reacting to power grid
instabilities and resetting itself automatically thereafter with virtually no
time-lag. The FCL is wholly non-invasive to the power grid and can be
integrated without any complex installation requirements. As a consequence, it
is able to provide a simple, continuous, reliable and low maintenance power
grid solution.

The power blackouts experienced in New York in August 2003 demonstrated that
the persistent and long-term increase in demand for power quantity, quality and
reliability is putting an increasing strain on underinvested and limited power
grid infrastructures. Driven by growing populations, urban migration and rising
levels of power consumption, power surges and blackouts, are evidence of the
escalating capacity challenge faced by utility companies and are of central
concern when considering future infrastructure investments. It is for these
reasons that in researching and developing the FCL, the Group has worked very
closely with a number of US utility companies and its US subsidiary is
currently negotiating with two US-based utilities for the installation of large
scale versions of the Group's FCL. The Board views the grant of this core
patent by the US Patent Office as a significant development in exploiting the
commercial value of the Group's HTS expertise and applications and that is
provides the Group the necessary protection of its technology in what it views
as being a key and near-term market.

Michael Fitzgerald, Non-Executive Chairman, commented:

'Having worked so closely with our end-users in the development of this product
we have a unique understanding of the severity of the problem faced by our
customers in maintaining the integrity of electrical grid infrastructures in
the face of escalating power demands. For utility companies the challenge of
energy efficiency is not simply limited to production and distribution but
encompasses the escalating need for the reduction of costly wastage. As
incidences of power surges and blackouts increase across electricity grids, the
level of energy wastage continues to grow. Our FCL is capable of eliminating a
great proportion of this annual wastage and can play a key role in the delivery
of increased energy efficiency.

I would like to thank the utility companies who afforded us the opportunity to
work so closely with them in developing a device that we believe offers a huge
step towards eliminating the disruptive impact of power surges and blackouts.
The potential global market for our groundbreaking product is worth billions of
dollars and reaching this point in the patent process gives us great confidence
in our ability to successfully address that market.'

About Zenergy Group plc

Zenergy Power plc is a global specialist manufacturer and developer of
commercial applications for superconductive materials. Comprising three
operating subsidiaries located in Germany (Trithor), USA (SC Power Systems) and
Australia (Australian Superconductors), the Group is developing a number of
energy efficient applications to be adopted in renewable energy power
generation, energy distribution and large scale, energy intensive industrial
processes.

Superconductive materials are capable of conducting electricity without
resistance below a certain temperature and were first discovered in 1911 in
what was to prove to be one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of
the 20th century.

The global HTS market is substantial and growing, with a number of market
studies projecting multi-billion dollar markets for the application of HTS
materials and products. The proliferation of the use of superconductor
materials is largely being driven the following key factors:

  * HTS materials are highly complementary to energy efficient technologies as
    a substitute for copper;
   
  * HTS technology is set to play a key role in the reduction of CO2 emissions
    in line with international targets;
   
  * HTS wires have power densities of over 100X that of copper;
   
  * HTS materials deliver exceptional energy efficiencies and thus reduced
    consumption levels and running costs;
   
  * HTS applications are capable of delivering vastly increased levels of power
    with increased reliability and reduced material usage; and
   
  * Over the next few years advancements in production techniques are set to
    make HTS materials cheaper than copper.
