usage of onsite renewable energy, reducing their electricity bills and alleviating strains on the local distribution

network. Since inception in 2012 they have sold &amp;gt;250 of their core product, secured partnerships with national

distributors and gained recognition from a range of organisations; Nesta, Innovate UK, Climate KIC.

Powervault seeks to undertake a 3 month feasibility study evaluating the potential for its innovative Second

Life Batteries (&amp;quot;SLB&amp;quot;) concept in target international markets. PV proposes a complimentary package of

activities designed to more clearly ascertain the opportunity available. Proposed study activities will provide a

valuable information base from which to inform export strategy and guide development of an international

supply chain.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
