Sustainable Energy Technologies Ltd (TSX VENTURE:STG) ("Sustainable Energy" or
the "Company") announced today that it is issuing 89 Debenture Units ("Debenture
Units") each comprised of one (1) $20,000 5-year secured royalty debenture
("Royalty Debenture") and, either 8,000 common shares in the capital of the
Company ("Common Shares"), or, at the option of the investor, 16,000 common
share purchase warrants ("Warrants") exercisable for a period of 4 years at
$0.50 per share. 


Subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, a total of 424,000 Common
Shares and 576,000 Warrants will be issued under the private placement. The
Company advised that management of the Company has subscribed for approximately
13% of the Debenture Units issued; and that it may issue additional Debenture
Units on the same terms and conditions. 


The Debenture Units are being issued at an origination discount of 12.5% to
realize gross proceeds of $1,557,500, which, after payment of costs of the
issue, will be used to reduce short term debt, and to provide working capital to
execute on the Company's strategy to position its "bi-direx" energy storage
inverter for global smart grid and micro-grid markets.  


Michael Carten, Chairman and CEO of Sustainable Energy commented: 

"We are on plan in Europe and Japan, and ahead of plan in the United States." 



--  "In Europe, we are delivering on an exclusive contract with Prosol
    Invest Deutschland GmbH ("Prosol") for its market leading
    "Sonnenbatterie" (www.sonnenbatterie.de) residential energy management
    system. Sonnenbatterie had an estimated 50% share of the German market
    in 2012; and Prosol has stated that it expects to maintain a 40% share
    of an estimated 2,000 megawatt market between now and 2017. (Per: IHS
    Research June 2013)." 
    
--  "Operationally, our supply chain is primed. We are able to meet forecast
    European demand, with no new capital expenditures; and no working
    capital is needed to ramp production. 
    
--  "In Japan, we are on plan to replicate our European outcomes. We have
    senior level engagement at several of the leading electronics firms in
    the country that we believe will lead to one or more OEM supply
    contracts within the next 6 - 9 months. Market feedback is that our
    energy storage inverter offers material round trip efficiency advantages
    and superior design flexibility over competitive solutions." 
    
--  "In the US we are ahead of plan. Our announced plan has been to make our
    energy storage inverters the electronics solution of choice for
    suppliers of advanced battery technologies for micro-grid applications.
    This is working. We are delivering on two contracts for military micro-
    grids; and we have engagement with multiple manufacturers of next
    generation batteries and integrators of micro-grids."  
    
--  "We have unanticipated specific demand in the US to enable high
    efficiency solar PV based back up power systems; and for high efficiency
    distributed electric vehicle charging stations. Market feedback is that
    bi-direx is the "premium" energy storage inverter in the US."



Each $20,000 Royalty Debenture bears interest at a rate of 3% per annum, plus an
amount equal to 2/100 of 1% of the consolidated revenues realized by the
Company, both payable quarterly in arrears. The Royalty Debentures are callable
by the Company at par at any time after August 1, 2015; and if not called, will
be amortized in 12 equal quarterly installments beginning August 1, 2015. 


In connection with the issue, the Company is paying a total of $4,375 cash
commissions and is issuing a total of 8,750 broker warrants (the Broker
Warrants) entitling the holder to acquire one common share at a price of $0.50
per share for a period of one year from the date of issue. 


The Debentures, Common Shares, Warrants and Common Shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants are all subject to a 4 month hold period which expires on
December 8, 2013. 


About Sustainable Energy:

Sustainable Energy (www.SustainableEnergy.com) designs and manufactures advanced
power electronics for distributed smart grid and micro-grid applications.
Advanced power electronics are the critical interface between all distributed
generation and storage systems devices, ensuring the delivery of high quality AC
power to the grid, as well as providing utility control over the interconnection
and power quality. 


Sustainable Energy's bi-directional low voltage energy storage inverter directly
connects low voltage batteries to the grid with the power industry's highest
round trip (battery charging and discharging) efficiencies. The inverter meets
tough utility smart grid standards such as Germany's VDE 4105 which is becoming
a global standard and enables full utility control over the battery dispatch and
power quality functions.


Sustainable Energy's platform is based on patented breakthroughs in power
inverter design that enable its platform to convert high current/low voltage DC
into high quality AC with conversion efficiencies that are materially higher
than anything in the market with an inherently lower cost structure.
