(CSE:SHRC) (FSE:IWIA) (OTCQB:INTWF) (the “Company” or “SHARC”) announces that, further to the press release dated March 4, 2020, the Company has received notification from the Electric Power Research Institute (“EPRI”) that the Electrification 2020 International Conference and Exposition, originally set for April 6 – 9 in Charlotte, North Carolina, is postponed until early 2021 due to the latest information on coronavirus (COVID-19) and at the recommendation of EPRI’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
However, the Company is pleased that the Incubatenergy© Labs Challenge is not cancelled.
