AXTG Axis Technologies Group Inc (PK)

Axis Technologies Group, Inc. (Pink�Sheets:AXTG) today announced�it has begun working with computer chip manufacturers to help develop an additional line of Axis ballasts that would specifically address peak demand load shedding. Most utility companies charge their customers a surcharge or �peak demand� charge during those times of day when the load on the power plants are at the highest. Usually this means the power companies must start up higher cost generators, and/or buy power from the electrical grid at even higher rates. This new ballast from Axis would allow the power companies the ability to reduce the lighting load for their customers during those peak demand periods. Jim Erickson, President of Axis Technologies Inc., said, �Axis has had the idea for this additional ballast line for some time, and the time is now right to move forward with its development. We are especially excited with this new ballast idea because our present automatic Dimming & Daylight Harvesting (DDH) ballast is most effective only where there is significant ambient light. This new ballast could be installed in all areas which would greatly enhance our overall sales, and reduce utility bills for our customers; and at the same time, help the utility companies reduce their electrical load.� Mr. Erickson added, �We have heard from several large utility companies who are very excited at the possibility of utilizing this type of load shedding product, and have even expressed interest in providing up to a 100% rebate to encourage their customers to install them. Utilities nationwide are being mandated to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, and the new Axis product, along with our present DDH ballasts will aid in their efforts.� Send an e-mail to ir@axistechnolgyinc.com to receive company press releases and industry updates.
