Standard & Poor's announced today that it has commenced
Factual Stock Report coverage on Metretek Technologies, Inc.
   Metretek Technologies, Inc. (AMEX: MEK) is a diversified provider
of energy technology products, services, and data management systems
to industrial and commercial users and suppliers of natural gas and
electricity. The company conducts its operations through three
subsidiaries: PowerSecure, Inc., Southern Flow Companies, Inc., and
Metretek Florida.
   The company's business strategy is to position itself as an
integrated provider of energy technology products, services and
systems that enhance the availability of management information and
services primarily to suppliers and users of natural gas and
electricity. While MEK's products, services and systems have
historically been aimed primarily at the natural gas industry,
management said it is focusing more of its current and future
products, services and systems on other segments of the energy
industry, especially the electricity industry, as well as other
industries that require energy data management services. According to
the company, the energy industry continues to experience fundamental
regulatory and structural changes and significant new trends. MEK's
strategy is to acquire, develop, operate and expand businesses that
are positioned to take advantage of these changes and trends.

audience of the investment community ---- scores of buy-side
institutions and sell-side firms that utilize S&P research and
information platforms daily. Millions of self-directed investors also
have access to the report via their e-brokerage accounts.
