After five years of intensive investment in R&D and com-mercial validation of our technology in Spain...

...we are now looking for partners to join us in this successful technology/industrial project, that in 2016 plans to moved its permanent HQ to the "windy city" in the U.S. We are now looking to expand our global presence as KLiUX always had internationalization in its DNA since inception.”

“We’re seeing a paradigm shift in the energy market worldwide.”

We uncover this company, Kliux Energies, and their energy solutions in distributed power generation. Kliux is a Spanish company with proprietary and patented technology worldwide, capable of producing clean sustainable energy that provides substantial sav-ings, increased efficiency, and envi-ronmental benefits. At this time they are in the throes of international expansion, for which they are looking to raise additional funding through strategic, industrial and financial investors who may want to bet on a successful project with a great global projection.

Kliux Energies is a company which specializes in providing solutions in distributed power generation.

For those who do not know this technology, what it is distributed energy and what are the benefits of its implementation?Power generation in general consists in transforming some kind of energy

(kinetic, thermal, light or chemical, etc.) into electrical energy. In the case of distributed power it consists of harnessing the renewable energy resource available locally in order to produce electricity at the point of use or near where consumption will take place. This process can be done on a much smaller scale, both in terms of size and the electricity supply needed. These are just some of its advantages: avoiding losses that occur in traditional energy transport; no fossil fuels are used and CO2 emissions are reduced and (which is essential nowadays) having a great deal of impact in savings for any enterprise and improving quality of life for our society. In short: distributed renewable energy is energy efficient, environmentally respectful and with important economic savings.

How do you put this solution into practice?Through the implementation of our Kliux Zebra, Kliux Dragon or Kliux Eagle, which are small and simple to

install vertical axis wind turbines, that can easily be managed by end-users. Additionally, since the two most abundant sources of distributed energy around the world are solar and wind, we integrate complete solar and wind-solar hybrid systems for self power generation installations. This guarantees reliability of the system and optimizes each available source of energy in order to satisfy demand at a lower Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE). These types of distributed energy solutions can be installed in different combinations and able to be implemented anywhere in the world for both grid connected and off-grid locations. In fact our technology is quickly becoming an international reference amongst architects, and specialized renewable engineering/installing companies.

What products are currently on the market?We own several proprietary patents and currently we market various

products to provide distributed energy solutions; three different models of our disruptive vertical axis wind turbine VAWT (Kliux Zebra 2kW, Kliux Dragon 3.5kW and Kliux Eagle 5kW) and 'ad hoc' Hybrid Energy Solutions using the combination of these VAWTs and Solar Photo-voltaic panels. And for Off-Grid self power generation solutions or for Net-Zero Buildings we also add energy storage to these Hybrid Energy Systems through the use of batteries or any other innovative energy storage technology that may help improve cost and efficiency. Our Kliux VAWTs are safe for public transit areas, silent and easy to install in urban and residential environments. All our products can be installed for grid connected solutions or in isolated off-grid locations, for multiple renewable and sustainable applica-tions to cover complete or partial residential, industrial, municipal, agricultural or communications power needs.

There is talk of the 3rd Industrial Revolution and of empowering individuals to be in control of their own energy generation...The 3rd Industrial Revolution will be

the energy revolution, and Kliux intends to become a direct participant and contributor to this new concept of sustainable energy generation and consumption. There is a global para-digm shift towards renewable energy, even though there is still much that remains to be done in this field; we are just at the tip of the iceberg.

“…we are now looking for partners to join us in this successful technology/industrial project, that in 2016 plans to moved its permanent HQ to the "windy city" in the U.S. We are now looking to expand our global presence as KLiUX always had internationalization in its DNA since inception.”

What is the fundamental basis of this change of model?The change goes through a decentral-ization of power generation, making it independent from the grid and bringing it closer to the real needs of consumer’s energy demand, and therefore allowing final users to be in control of their present and future energy costs.

During 2016/20 there will be a strong growth in distributed energy markets. Demand for this type of energy solutions is expected to triple. Our international project continues to follow that trend as in the past year we have experienced an exponential growth in inquiries from companies around the world seeking strategic commercial alliances to distribute our VAWT products and our Hybrid Distributed Energy Solutions in their countries. This will help us bring our company the next level of global commercial growth. But our first step towards this goal will require us to first close our a capital round of $1M to $5M by Q4 of 2016.
