Dotz Nano Advances Energy Platform with AI Tech Deal and Commercial Pilot

Strategic AI Technology Integration with Eneriqs

Dotz Nano (ASX:DTZ) is expanding its energy-saving technology stack by entering a confidential Letter of Intent with Eneriqs AI Ltd. This agreement contemplates a technology licence and an option to acquire Eneriqs assets, subject to further approvals and definitive agreements. The integration aims to enhance Dotz's ChillerAI platform, which targets energy optimisation in thermally intensive commercial buildings such as hotels, shopping centres, offices, industrial facilities, and data centres.

The Board views this as a significant step to broaden Dotz Energy’s capabilities beyond its initial market, positioning the company to address a wider range of large commercial and industrial buildings.

First Commercial Pilot with Limassol Shopping Centre

In a tangible commercial milestone, Dotz Energy has secured its first customer agreement for a 12-month pilot deployment of ChillerAI at Limassol Shopping Centre. This pilot is independent of the Bridgeford partnership and is expected to transition into a five-year contract upon successful completion. The pilot provides early validation of ChillerAI’s value proposition in real-world conditions, demonstrating the platform’s potential to deliver meaningful energy savings and decarbonisation benefits.

Bridgeford Partnership Targets Scale and Revenue

Dotz has also inked a reseller and revenue-share agreement with Bridgeford Group, appointing them as a commercialisation and distribution partner for ChillerAI. Bridgeford brings commercial and project delivery expertise, aiming to secure approximately 25 building contracts within the first year. Each contract is estimated to generate around A$40,000 in annual energy savings for customers, with Dotz and Bridgeford sharing roughly 75% of these savings, translating to about A$30,000 per contract in annual recurring revenue.

This model sets an indicative joint ARR target of approximately A$750,000, reflecting Dotz’s ambition to scale its shared-savings approach. The pricing assumes ChillerAI can reduce chiller-related electricity expenditure by about 20%, a significant saving given large commercial buildings typically spend over A$200,000 annually on chiller energy.

Commercial and Execution Risks Remain

While the revenue and contract targets are promising, Dotz cautions these are indicative and non-binding. The company highlights risks including potential delays in customer acquisition, longer sales and installation cycles, variability in realised energy savings, and reliance on Bridgeford and Eneriqs as key partners. Regulatory approvals and integration challenges also pose uncertainties that could materially affect outcomes.

CEO Nati Harpaz emphasised the strategic value of the Eneriqs technology to build a unified platform focused on cutting energy costs and carbon emissions. Bridgeford’s CEO Nick Tassi underscored strong demand for energy-saving solutions that avoid upfront capital expenditure, indicating market appetite for ChillerAI.
