CUI Global Subsidiary Orbital U.K. Secures Biomethane Contract Valued at Approximately $1.8 Million

HOUSTON, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- CUI Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUI) announced today that its wholly-owned Energy subsidiary, Orbital Gas Systems Ltd. ("Orbital UK" or the "Company"), has been awarded a contract valued at approximately $1.8 million from a major European industrial company for three biomethane-to-grid units that includes the Company's GasPT® analyzer. The contract marks the third from the customer and follows the recent passage of a U.K. Government program under which tariff rates for biomethane generation were increased.

On May 22, 2018, the U.K. Government's program set up to encourage uptake of renewable heat and contribute towards the Government's 2020 renewable energy target, the Domestic and Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive ("RHI") Scheme, went into effect. According to its legislation, "the aim of the RHI is to incentivise the cost effective generation of renewable heat in order to contribute to Carbon Budgets, generate renewable energy to help meet the U.K.'s 2020 renewable energy target, and develop the renewable heat market and supply chain so that it can support the mass roll out of low carbon heating technologies." The U.K. Government further held that the recent "reforms being made to the RHI are designed to ensure it focuses on long term decarbonisation, offers better value for money and protects consumers, and support supply chain growth while challenging the market to deliver."

Orbital U.K. President Paul D. White stated, "Our ability to offer a turnkey solution that engineers our Energy products into our integration solutions is a substantial competitive advantage in the marketplace, and one that enables us to deliver significant value to the customer and the growing market for biomethane."

CUI Global President & CEO William Clough commented, "The U.K.'s new RHI incents biomethane generation and underscores the changing regulatory and CAPEX environments in Western Europe that is serving as a tailwind for our Energy business. With the recent certification of our GasPT by Ofgem, together with Orbital's world-class engineering capabilities, we are on the path to greater Energy segment sales."
