Albany NY - MSE Power Systems Inc ("MSE") headquartered in Albany, NY announced today a company name change to CG Power Solutions USA Inc.

In October, 2008, MSE was acquired by Crompton Greaves Ltd. (CG), a global leader in power transmission and distribution headquartered in India. MSE's name change was a planned phase of this acquisition. CG Power Solutions USA, Inc. will remain a US based entity. There will be no changes in management, quality of services, or personnel providing these services.

This name change comes on the heels of CG's recent opening of a new $ 20M power transformer plant in Washington, MO and CG's recent announcement of its partnership with the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering ("CNSE") of the University of Albany to establish a $20M Center for Intelligent Power at CNSE's Albany NanoTech Complex that will enable nanotechnology innovations for smart grid solutions, creating over 100 high-tech jobs in upstate New York and fueling development and use of clean and renewable energy technologies.
