Acuity Technology Management placed a relief from royalties during its valuation, which included a probability adjusted net present value for possible future cash flows that are founded on revenue projects from the power purchase agreement EnviroMission holds with SCPPA.

“This valuation reflects a current value of the actual technology that is being commercialized in Arizona for the SCPPA Power Purchase Agreement (PPA); it reflects the value of the enhancements, research and development and detailed engineering that has produced intellectual property and know how to provide greater commercial prospects from the technologically and economically enhanced Australian Solar Tower renewable energy technology that is owned by EnviroMission” concluded Davey.
