15 July 2010, 5:10pm

July 15, 2010 - Telvent (NASDAQ: TLVT), the IT company for a sustainable and secure world, announced today that its outage management system (OMS), Telvent OMS Responder®, passed the industry's first smart grid interoperability test of the International Electrotechnical Commission/Common Information Model (IEC/CIM) 61968 standard, Part 9 profile for meter data interchange. Telvent is one of only two
companies, including General Electric (GE), that achieved recognition by EPRI for
its OMS solution. By passing the interoperabilty test, Telvent demonstrated the
reliability of its smart grid solution by seemlessly integrating Telvent OMS
Responder with other industry providers' technology.

All Telvent smart grid technology offers standards-based interoperability aligned
with government and industry priorities. This is key to the concept of a smart grid,
which can only be achieved through the collaboration of multiple devices and
software from many different providers. The National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) is driving development of industry-wide IEC/CIM standards for the
integration of smart grid systems and technology components.

"As an international leader in the energy industry, Telvent provides utilities
across the globe with smart grid solutions that can complement and improve their
current technology and information systems," said Ignacio González, Telvent CEO. "As
the world moves closer to a smart grid, Telvent recognizes the importance of
industry-wide standards and is honored to be one of only two companies to earn this
recognition for our OMS solution."

Telvent has developed and deployed advanced information management systems for the
energy industry for nearly 50 years. Today, more than 500 utilities worldwide rely
on Telvent technology and solutions, including advanced metering infrastructure
(AMI) projects for Vattenfall (Sweden), Fortum (Finland) and SCADA, DMS, GIS and OMS
projects for Consumers Energy (United States), Progress Energy (United States),
Distribution Grids of Elektra (Panama), Emcali (Colombia), Saesa (Chile) and CNFL
(Costa Rica).
