For Immediate Release - July 28, 2005
Jamie Wimberly, DEFG - (202) 483-4443
Washington, DC ... The Distributed Energy Financial Group, LLC (DEFG) is pleased to announce the launch of the Distributed Energy Stock Index (DESI). The DESI is an index comprised of approximately 30 leading publicly traded companies in the energy technology market (SEE below for a list of DESI companies), listed on major stock exchanges in North America and broken into five segments, including: 1) prime movers, 2) power quality and storage, 3) renewable, hydrogen and fuel cells, 4) demand management, metering and controls, and 5) enabling technologies. The DESI increases the coverage of distributed energy companies during a critical period in their development. The DESI provides definition, increases the financial analysis of the sector and companies within the sector, offers benchmarking capabilities, and improves valuation models and methodologies. A DEFG analyst has been assigned to each of the segments (5 analysts in total, with team coverage potential) to cover the segments and DESI companies on an ongoing basis.
“The Distributed Energy Stock Index (DESI) will serve as a tool to build industry awareness and focus investors on leading distributed energy stocks,” stated Tom Brunetto, DEFG Managing Director. “The DESI should complement the few clean energy indices in existence, provide coverage of more and different companies, provide better risk diversification potential within an integrated framework, and capture the full range of the value proposition of these technologies to customers, including cross-over applications and bundling opportunities.”
“It is hoped that the launch of this index will signal the next phase in the continued development and growth of this industry,” continued Jamie Wimberly, DEFG CEO. “DEFG is in active discussions with potential asset management partners to create and co-manage a fund using the DESI. We see a huge wave of investor interest building for these kinds of investments, and DEFG plans to be on top of that wave.”
A DESI Quarterly Report will be published and distributed at no charge to 7,000+ contacts beginning in August 2005. Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are available for the DESI Quarterly Report.
