Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On May 3, 2005, Metretek Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), commenced mailing its Annual Report to Stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, including the “President’s Letter”, which is dated April 20, 2005. The full text of the President’s Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.

     The President’s Letter includes forward-looking statements made within the meaning of and pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements of historical facts, including but not limited to statements regarding the business prospects for the Company and its subsidiaries, the outlook for revenues and earnings in 2005 and all other statements concerning the plans, intentions, expectations, projections, hopes, beliefs, objectives, goals and strategies of management, such as statements about future earnings, revenues, and other future financial and non-financial items, performance or events; statements about proposed products, services, technologies or businesses; and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient capital and liquidity on favorable terms to meet its operating, working capital and debt service requirements and other capital commitments and contingencies and to fund the growth of its business; the effects of pending and future litigation, claims and disputes and the resolution thereof; the timely and successful development, production and market acceptance of new and enhanced products, services and technologies of the Company; the markets for the products and services of the Company’s subsidiaries, and management’s expectations of any strengthening thereof; the effects of competition in the Company’s markets, including the introduction of competing products, services and technologies; customer and industry demand and preferences and purchasing patterns; the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel; the ability of the Company to secure and maintain key contracts, relationships and alliances and to make successful acquisitions; changes in the energy industry generally and in the natural gas and electricity industries in particular; general economic, market and business conditions; the effects of international conflicts and terrorism; and other factors identified from time to time in the Company’s reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the Company’s most recently filed Form 10-K and subsequently filed reports. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the results expressed, projected or implied by any forward looking statements will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release speak only as of the date hereof and are based on the current plans, goals, objectives, strategies, intentions, expectations and assumptions of, and the information currently available to, management. The Company assumes no duty or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for any reason, whether as the result of changes in expectations, new information, future events, conditions or circumstances or otherwise.

     The information in this Report, including the exhibit attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
