Active Energy Group Plc

("Active Energy" or the "Company")

 

Response to notice from the Southern Environmental Law Center in regard to the Company's activities at Lumberton, North Carolina

 

Active Energy, the London quoted international biomass based renewable energy business, has received a "notice of intent to sue" letter from the Southern Environmental Law Center (the "SELC") alleging that the Company is discharging wastewater without the required permits from its Lumberton property in North Carolina. This notice follows on from the original claim made by SELC, which was announced by the Company on 4 May 2021, to which the Company has actively sought resolution. The SELC is a non-profit, environmental lobbying group.

Active Energy is not currently operating at Lumberton. The Company has not discharged any wastewater other than what is required under its permits and required by the historic statutory remediation obligations associated with the property.

The Company denies the allegations made by the SELC in the notice and will continue to take robust legal action in response and in defence. 

Active Energy continues to review all its options at Lumberton, North Carolina.
