Powerstorm Engages The Equity Group as Investor Relations Counsel

RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif.--()--Powerstorm ESS (OTC: PSTO) (“Powerstorm” or “the Company”) today announced that it has engaged The Equity Group Inc. as investor relations counsel. Founded in 1974, The Equity Group specializes in comprehensive investor communications and investment community relations for micro- to mid-cap public companies through its offices in New York, San Francisco, and Beijing.

Mike Freni, Chairman and CEO of Powerstorm stated, “After assessing various IR firms to determine the best fit, we are pleased to partner with The Equity Group to help us communicate our mission and business model to the investment community. The Equity Group is very well-respected, and we were particularly impressed with the firm’s experience, client base and long-standing relationships.”

Mr. Freni continued, “Powerstorm is dedicated to supplying electricity to those that need it most – the nearly 1.3 billion people in the world who live without power. The first channel we are pursuing is telecommunications in emerging markets where our systems can provide power for the wireless base stations of major carriers, as well as create personal device charging hubs through local centers such as hospitals, schools, and community centers. For telecom operators managing existing networks while also rolling out new networks in remote areas, the need for reliable and efficient hybrid power sources has become a critical factor in servicing these markets. Our plug-and-play Modular Energy Storage System (“MESS”) is CapEx/OpEx efficient and environmentally sound, and its Digital Brain connects and controls all components within the hybrid system through one single source while relaying information through Internet connectivity.”

Mr. Freni continued, “Our second channel is hybrid home power. We have developed a line of modules for use in small homes or huts where residents may have simple mobile phones, but lack a reliable, easily accessible power supply. Our zeroXess solution will enable these residents to power not only mobile phones, but other systems that can improve quality of life such as lighting and water purification, while also providing Internet connectivity in a sleek, touch-screen design. Our third channel centers around disaster recovery and humanitarian outreach programs where energy is crucial in delivering search and rescue, medical, shelter and nutritional services. With our proprietary systems, we aim to revolutionize the way power is delivered, stored, and managed in emerging markets and disaster recovery zones.”

About Powerstorm:

Powerstorm is a developer of hybrid energy storage systems that provide reliable off-grid solutions for emerging markets, rural communities and disaster recovery, all of which have very limited power supply. The foundational and innovative technology from Powerstorm is protected with several patents pending. For more information visit www.powerstormess.com.
