Enable IPC’s Subsidiary SolRayo Awarded Major Clean Energy Grant From State of Wisconsin

$250,000 Grant to Help Commercialize Enable IPC’s Energy Efficient Technologies

VALENCIA, Calif. – Oct. 1, 2008 – Enable IPC Corp. (OTC BB: EIPC.OB), a leading company for turning technologies into products and successfully bringing them to market, today announced that its efficient energy-focused subsidiary SolRayo LLC has been awarded a $250,000 clean energy grant by Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle.   SolRayo received the grant as part of a $7.3 million distribution of state grants and loans for clean energy projects that the Governor announced in conjunction with his Clean Energy Wisconsin program, to be distributed by the Wisconsin Energy Independence Fund (WEIF).

“We are extremely proud to be recognized by Governor Doyle and the state of Wisconsin to assist with the critical goal of developing reliable clean energy technologies,” said David Walker, CEO, Enable IPC.  “This grant provides Enable IPC and SolRayo yet another substantial validation of our ultracapacitor technology’s commercial potential.  We will be able to introduce cutting edge nanotechnology-based ultracapacitor components via our Wisconsin office, in conjunction with the brilliant researchers who know the technology best.”

Enable IPC’s subsidiary SolRayo was one of only eight Madison-area companies chosen to receive the grants.  The nanotechnology company was chosen based on the merits of the technology, as well as the health of its business plan.  The funds will be used to defray development costs and to support further research and development leading to the commercialization of new clean energy technologies.

“From manufacturing wind turbines and solar panels to retro-fitting fuel pumps and exploring the latest clean technologies, our future lies in seizing green opportunities that will create good jobs for our citizens and add billions of dollars to our economy,” Gov. Doyle said.  “We have awarded more than $7 million in grants and loans to companies that are committed to expanding Wisconsin’s clean energy industry.”

The WEIF was established for research and development, and commercialization or adoption of new technologies.  The new grants will seek to leverage $44.2 million in investments and create new jobs for Wisconsin families on farms, in forests, in research labs and for manufacturers.

Enable IPC Acquires Leading Wisconsin Ultracapacitor Technology Developer SolRayo

VALENCIA, Calif. – Sept. 30, 2008 – Enable IPC Corp. (OTC BB: EIPC.OB), a leading company for turning technologies into products and successfully bringing them to market, today announced that it has acquired a controlling interest in SolRayo LLC, an established Wisconsin technology company that develops ultracapacitor technology for improving the storage, delivery and usage of energy.

The SolRayo acquisition is in exchange for in kind contributions from a major grant to be announced shortly.  SolRayo is an established Wisconsin company founded by the same scientists who developed Enable IPC’s patent-pending ultracapacitor technology.  The company is currently developing new nanoparticle-based ultracapacitors for potential uses in various industrial, consumer and automotive applications.

“This acquisition is a great opportunity for both Enable IPC and SolRayo to realize our shared goals of creating nanotechnology-based enhanced ultracapacitors to support clean energy technologies,” said Dr. Mark Daugherty, CTO, Enable IPC.  “We are very excited to incorporate SolRayo’s exceptional talents into our company and have the opportunity to work with the researchers who know the technology best.  Their new ultracapacitor materials hold great potential for improving performance, as well as lowering the cost of ultracapacitors.”

Dr. Daugherty will serve as the new SolRayo President, having previously served as CEO of Virent Technologies.  SolRayo’s co-founder, Kevin Leonard, will stay on as Chief Technology Officer.

“We look forward to working with the incredible people at Enable IPC,” said Mr. Leonard.  “This development will provide us with the resources to continue the vital work of improving ultracapacitors and assisting in the worldwide energy crisis.”

Enable IPC’s ultracapacitor technology combines nanoparticles with common carbon sheets for a low cost, easy-to-implement technology that improves the performance of ultracapacitors so they can function as clean energy storage devices.  The enhanced ultracapacitors are simpler, cheaper and longer lasting than some conventional batteries, but perform just as well in many applications.

Enable IPC to Develop Enhanced Clean Energy Ultracapacitors for Leading European Research Institute

New Contract from an Ambitious R&D Program Funded by Spain’s Administration to Address Local and International Energy Solutions

VALENCIA, Calif. and MADRID, Spain – July 22, 2008 – Marking a major milestone with the first commercial use of its breakthrough ultracapacitor nanotechnology, Enable IPC Corp. (OTC BB: EIPC.OB), a leading company for turning technologies into products and successfully bringing them to market, today announced that it has partnered with the Madrid, Spain-based IMDEA Energy Institute to jointly develop ultracapacitors based on Enable IPC’s patent-pending energy technology.  The initial project for this venture will be to incorporate Enable IPC’s ultracapacitor into the SA2VE clean energy innovation program.

Enable IPC’s ultracapacitor technology combines nanoparticles with common carbon sheets for a low cost, easy-to-implement technology that improves the performance of ultracapacitors so they can function as clean energy storage devices.  The enhanced ultracapacitors are simpler, cheaper and longer lasting than some conventional batteries, but perform just as well in many applications.

“Our partnership with IMDEA Energy marks a major validation of Enable IPC’s ultracapacitor technology by a renowned international organization,” said David Walker, CEO, Enable IPC.  “Partnering with IMDEA Energy solidifies our standing as a leading company with cutting-edge energy technologies.  We are excited by this unique opportunity to help develop clean energy devices that could be a part of the solution to the world’s energy problems, and hope it marks the first of many collaborations with IMDEA Energy.”

The IMDEA Energy Institute develops energy-related Research and Development (R&D) with an emphasis on renewable energy and clean energy technologies to achieve outstanding scientific and technological contributions that create a sustainable energy system.  Together with the SA2VE, a strategic national research and development program in Spain focusing on electricity storage for applications in renewable energy integration, transport sectors and households, the organizations seek innovative, state-of-the-art technologies to address energy issues locally in Spain, as well as worldwide.  In effect since 2006, partnering with Enable IPC marks one of the first steps in SA2VE’s expansion to include ultracapacitors.

“After conducting an exhaustive search of ultracapacitor technologies, we chose Enable IPC due to the numerous improvements that their process produced over today’s current market-ready ultracapacitors,” said Manuel Romero, Deputy Director, IMDEA Energy Institute.  “The Government of Spain is extremely committed to developing environmentally friendly sources of energy, and this partnership is an excellent example of how technology can be used to protect the environment, while also assisting the economy.”

Under the new partnership, IMDEA Energy will work directly with Spanish company Green Power and a national lab in Spain known as CEDEX, while Enable IPC will provide enhanced ultracapacitor electrodes to the organization for integration into a new power conditioning unit.
