Silver Spring Networks would like to thank its utility clients, industry partners and employees for their contributions to being named Number 1 on the 2010 Global Cleantech 100. Bestowed by The Guardian newspaper and Cleantech Group, the Global Cleantech 100 represents the collective opinion of hundreds of leading experts from cleantech innovation around the world, as well as the specific input of an expert industry panel. In addition, Silver Spring Networks topped the Global Cleantech 100's "2010 Lust List," a subset of the top 100 companies that are consistently admired by non-stakeholder peers.

"Silver Spring Networks' top ranking in the Global Cleantech 100 is the result of the commitment we share with our utility clients, which is to deliver the most advanced, field proven and standard-based smart grid technology available in the world," said Scott Lang, Chairman, President and CEO of Silver Spring Networks. "On behalf of our clients, partners and employees, we are honored to accept this recognition of our mission to deliver solutions that are engaging consumers and delivering results to the unique challenges faced by utilities around the world."

Silver Spring Networks has also received the top honor in the 2010 AlwaysOn GoingGreen Silicon Valley 100, in the "Energy Management, Smart Grid, and Energy Efficiency" category. The GoingGreen Silicon Valley 100 recognizes companies with game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players.

The company has also been recognized by the Platt's 2010 Global Energy Awards, with a nomination in the "Industry Leadership Award" category, for its role in advancing the smart grid globally. The winners of the Platts 2010 Global Energy Awards will be announced in December.
