Hillcrest Energy Technologies (OTCQB: HLRTF) announced a non-binding agreement in principle with the AI Hub of Innovation (AHI), a project of Agritech Haven Limited Partnership, dated July 20, 2026. The arrangement targets deployment of Hillcrest’s ZVS PCS1000 in an operational BESS pilot at AHI’s Alberta AI campus and opens access to AHI’s datacenter tenant and partner network for evaluation of the PCS1000 as an 800V DC sidecar power conversion module.
AHI will provide pilot facilities and facilitate introductions, subject to a definitive joint development agreement and funding. CleanPath Distribution, Hillcrest’s Indigenous-led commercialization channel majority-owned by Pasqua First Nation #79, is a named party, aligning potential PCS1000 commercialization with Canadian and Indigenous economic participation. The PCS1000 remains at the A-Sample prototype stage with design targets above 99% conversion efficiency and no commercial validation yet.
Hillcrest Energy Technologies (OTCQB:HLRTF, CSE:HEAT, FRA:7HI) plans to enter debt settlement agreements with arm's length creditors, issuing 611,111 units at $0.18 per unit to settle an aggregate of $110,000 in debt. Each unit comprises one common share and one warrant exercisable at $0.20 for 24 months.
All securities issued will be subject to a four‑month‑and‑one‑day hold period under Canadian law and are not registered under the U.S. Securities Act. Hillcrest also granted a consultant 1,000,000 stock options, vesting immediately, exercisable at $0.18 per share until July 20, 2030.
Hillcrest (OTCQB:HLRTF) released a company-authored technical paper, “Simplified 800V Power Supply Architecture for 99%+ Efficient Data Centers,” comparing a conventional two-stage 800V data center power architecture with a single-stage design using Hillcrest’s proprietary zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) technology.
The modeled single-stage ZVS architecture achieves about 99% AC-DC efficiency (up to 99.2%), versus 98% for the two-stage design, while preserving two galvanic isolation barriers and adding dedicated fault-management functions. Fewer conversion stages reduce component count and cooling requirements. Hillcrest’s prototype ZVS PCS1000 power supply is built on this single-stage architecture, operates at 48kHz without switching-loss penalties, and is designed for modular, N+1 redundant 800V AI data center sidecar racks. Hillcrest also retained Outside the Box Capital to provide investor marketing and distribution services between July 20 and September 30, 2026, for cash consideration of $50,000.
