Residual Impacts of Covid-19 Pandemic
Previous report
Supply chains were adversely impacted during Covid, resulting in significant delays or lack of availability of critical components such as engines. This has continued to have long term impact on product and service margins. The direct impact has been certain costs increasing faster than inflation. The indirect impact is from increased engine related costs in the service segment as replacements were deferred or overhauled components were used due to lack of parts. We have instituted a service price increase and have also been making engineering improvements to increase service intervals to increase gross margins.

Controlled Environment Agriculture
Previous report
On July 20, 2022, we announced our intention to focus on opportunities for the use of our cogeneration equipment in low carbon Controlled Environment Agriculture ("CEA"). We believe that CEA offers an exciting opportunity to apply our expertise in clean cooling, power generation, and greenhouse gas reduction to address critical issues affecting food and energy security.
Previous report
CEA facilities enable multiple crop cycles (15 to 20 cycles) in one year compared to one or two crop cycles in conventional farming. In addition, growing produce close to the point of sale reduces food spoilage during transportation. Food crops grown in greenhouses typically have lower yields per square foot than in CEA facilities, and the push to situate facilities close to consumers in cities requires minimizing land area and maximizing yield per square foot. Yields are increased in CEA facilities by supplementing or replacing natural light with grow lights in a climate-controlled environment - which requires significant energy use.
Previous report
In recent years our cogeneration equipment has been used in numerous cannabis cultivation facilities because our systems reduce the facility's need for power, significantly reduce operating costs and the facility GHG footprint, and offer resiliency to grid outages. Our experience providing clean energy solutions to cannabis cultivation facilities has given us significant insight into requirements relating to energy-intensive indoor agriculture applications that we expect to be transferable to CEA facilities for food production.

Previous report
Energy production revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $2,100,670 compared to $1,756,419 for 2023, an increase of $344,251, or 19.6%. The increase in Energy Production revenue is due to increased run hours at certain energy production sites.
Previous report
Cost of sales for energy production for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1,301,832 compared to $1,105,503 in 2023, an increase of $196,329. Energy production gross margin was 38.0% in 2024 compared to 37.1% in 2023, an increase of 0.9%, due to higher fuel costs.

In some key markets such as New York City, the regulatory push to eliminate fossil fuels from buildings has impacted cogeneration unit sales. We believe that as regulations take into account scope 2 emissions (site versus source emissions), products like our hybrid chiller that can choose the cleanest fuel source will have a significant advantage in decarbonization efforts. The political environment following the 2024 elections in the United States may have a material impact on anti-fossil fuel sentiment and the regulatory environment that may be favorable to our business.

Previous wording
During the third quarter of 2021, we began development of the Tecochill Hybrid-Drive Air-Cooled Chiller. We recognized that there were many applications where the customer wanted an easy to install roof top chiller. Using the inverter design from our InVerde e+ cogeneration module, the system can simultaneously take two inputs, one from the grid or a renewable energy source and one from our natural gas engine. This allows a customer to seek the optimum blend of operational cost savings and greenhouse gas benefits while providing added resiliency from two power sources. We introduced the Tecochill Hybrid-Drive Air-Cooled Chiller at the AHR Expo in February 2023 and received an order on February 8, 2024 for three hybrid-drive air-cooled chillers for a utility company in Florida. In March 2024, the US Patent and Trademark Office granted patent 11,936,327: "Hybrid Power System With Electric Generator and Auxiliary Power Source."

We have no operations or customers in Russia, the Ukraine, or in the Middle East. The higher energy prices for natural gas as a result of the war may affect the performance of our Energy Production Segment and the cost differential between grid generated energy and natural gas sourced energy using our cogeneration equipment. However, we have also seen higher electricity prices as much of the electricity production in the United States is generated from fossil fuels. If the electricity prices continue to rise, the economic savings generated by our products are likely to increase. In addition to the direct result of changes in natural gas and electricity prices, the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East may result in higher cybersecurity risks, increased or ongoing supply chain challenges, and volatility related to the trading prices of commodities.

At a minimum, we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test in the fourth quarter of the year. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for our energy production reporting unit acquired in 2017.
