Aja Cannafacturing Subsidiary, Charge! Energy Storage, to Attend Energy Storage North America (ESNA) Conference and Expo
Charge! ES to Meet With Strategic Partners and Investors as 2015 Distribution Budget Is Consummated
LAKE ELSINORE, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 8, 2014) - Charge Energy Storage, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aja Cannafacturing, Inc., (OTCQB: AJAC), announced today that for a consecutive second year Charge! Energy Storage CEO, Scott Plantinga, will be attending the Energy Storage North America (ESNA) conference and exposition in San Jose, California, September 30 - October 2, 2014. This year accompanying Mr. Plantinga will be Sam Lee, Chairman of FGY Energy Storage Research Institute Co., Ltd. a Jiang Su, China-based company, to continue discussion and development of their strategic partnership.
Energy Storage North America is the largest grid energy storage event in North America and features critical insights in to market developments and technology integration, will have over 1,000 leading customers in attendance along with technology providers and partners that can participate in over 40 conference sessions, hands-on workshops and site tours in Silicon Valley.
Mr. Plantinga stated, "Being the 2nd annual event demonstrates how new this burgeoning market truly is at this point. You can see that virtually all companies have progressed the same as Charge!, with the Company having accomplished a Beta-site testing and initial product introduction this past year. It will be such a huge space and marketplace in the near future that numerous companies will thrive. This is why companies like Tesla have designed a Mega Battery factory much larger than their internal EV requirements and why Charge! is building a strategic partnership with a company that has a history stemming from battery production and a remarkable number of patents surrounding that technology."
The ESNA 2014 program focuses on the convergence of Transportation and Utility-Scale applications as well as the Distributed (Behind the Meter) market that is the focus of Charge! Energy Storage.
Mr. Plantinga explained, "Energy Storage North America is critical to Charge! as both a business development opportunity and a vital component in our commitment to partnering with innovative and forward-thinking investors, companies and industry discussion leaders."
"As we previously announced in a press release on May 14, 2014, Aja Cannafacturing, Inc. continues to explore options for Charge!. Alternative paths for Charge! include having the manufacturer be sold to a new group of investors, be dividend out to current shareholders of AJAC, or be spun out as a separate business with its own source of financing. Any one of these can be a successful path of development for the company and our attendance at ESNA will go a long way in guiding management in evaluating and prioritizing our options so the Company can choose the best future course for Charge!. We expect to make another announcement after the conclusion of ESNA so the Company can layout the Charge! Energy Storage, Inc. roadmap."
