Rentricity Inc. Selected by AlwaysOn as a GoingGreen East Top 50 Winner
Company recognized for creating new opportunities in green technology
New York, NY, March 05, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Rentricity Inc., the hydrokinetic energy recovery company affiliated with the New York City Accelerator for a Clean & Renewable Economy (NYC ACRE) incubator at NYU-Poly, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the GoingGreen East Top 50 winners. Rentricity’s proprietary Flow-to-Wire(sm) system, consisting of a micro-turbine, generator, sensors, processors, electronic controls & communications equipment, allows drinking water and wastewater operators to generate between 30 and 300 kilowatts of clean electric power from in-pipe pressure and flow. Rentricity was specially selected for this Top 50 recognition by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe, based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
“The GoingGreen East Top 50 winners have excelled in key strategic areas in the global clean energy technology markets,” said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn. “We congratulate them for their success in introducing new tools, services, and systems that are driving the next phase of greentech innovation and transforming the biggest industries on earth.” Frank Zammataro, president and founder of Rentricity, also noted, “It is an honor to be recognized by industry experts and to be part of a growing set of companies focused on creating new jobs in support of our environment and energy needs.”
About Rentricity
Based in New York City, Rentricity Inc. is a renewable energy company that uses unique energy recovery configurations to transform the untapped energy in various man-made processes into electricity. Rentricity’s energy recovery systems – called Flow-to-Wire(sm) systems – convert excess pressure in water mains and other similar pipes into clean electric power.

Since this electricity can then be sold onto the grid, Rentricity gives its generating partners an additional source of revenue and a way to offset rising electricity rates while supporting local renewable energy goals.
