eight clean-technology industry sectors that they have identified for
important growth and industry influence in the near future.

"We did extensive research in selecting companies for the Ten to Watch in
the smart grid category," said Pernick, co-author of The Clean Tech
Revolution and co-founder of Clean Edge, one of the industry's premier
research and publishing firms. "We looked at dozens of firms in each sector

poised to make an impact."

"You are often judged by the company you keep; so, it is an honor for BPL
Global to be listed among such a distinguished group of companies," said
Keith Schaefer, CEO, BPL Global. "Cleaner technology is by definition smarter
technology. We are excited to be part of the solution to the energy
industry's great challenge of meeting rising demand while simultaneously
meeting new demands for greener energy. I truly believe that BPL Global and
its partners are leading the transformation of how energy is delivered."

BPL Global forms joint ventures with electric utilities and Internet
service providers (ISPs), ensuring heightened reliability and efficiency of
utility grids through distribution intelligence initiatives, while providing
data, voice and eventually video broadband services over power lines to
multi-occupancy buildings, businesses, government agencies, and consumers.
The company's integrated platform of distribution intelligence applications
includes demand management; distribution reliability and business
optimization.

About the book: In The Clean Tech Revolution: The Next Big Growth and
Investment Opportunity, the authors identify the major forces that have
pushed clean tech from back-to-the-earth utopian dream to its current
revolution among the inner circles of corporate boardrooms, on Wall Street
trading floors, and in government offices around the globe. The Clean Tech
Revolution looks at developments from Shanghai, China to Hyderabad, India to
Silicon Valley, highlighting breakthrough opportunities, potential roadblocks
and pitfalls, and pioneering individuals, companies, and regions. The authors
highlight the eight major clean-tech sectors that offer the best near- to
mid-term opportunity: solar energy, wind power, biofuels and biomaterials,
green buildings, personal transportation, the smart grid, mobile
applications, and water filtration.

Pernick and Wilder based their book on extensive research from their work
at Clean Edge and from interviews and conversations with more than a hundred
clean-tech innovators. They shine the spotlight on the winners among
technologies, companies, and regions that are likely to reap the greatest
benefits from clean tech-and they show you why the time to act is now. List
