S&C Electric Company Establishes Power Systems Services Operation in Europe

CHICAGO and LONDON, December 28, 2010 - S&C Electric Company today announced the creation of its Power Systems
Services division for Europe, a milestone in the company's expansion of its
international service operations that will help enhance power reliability and
green resource integration into the world's power grid.

The Europe Power Systems Services operation, located in Manchester,
England, will focus on improving electrical service reliability and
efficiency through the expansion of service offerings such as consulting on
renewable energy and grid automation, training services and system design,
build, and installation consultation.

"Electric utilities in Europe and around the world are addressing
unprecedented challenges, like meeting renewable energy portfolio standard
requirements and reducing peak loads," says Andrew Jones, managing director,
S&C Electric Company Europe. "Utilities, and the businesses and consumers who
rely on their services, need counsel from professionals with deep grid
expertise to help navigate these changes and meet increasingly stringent
power standards."

As such, the company announced the appointment of Mick Barlow to lead
S&C's regional services operation. Barlow, one of the founders of Power
Technologies International's European office in 1990, brings more than 35
years of relevant industry experience to S&C.
