Cleantech Indices, LLC, in conjunction with the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), today announced the quarterly rebalancing of The Cleantech Index (Amex: CTIUS), effective March 29, 2008.

Spain’s Telvent GIT S.A. (Nasdaq: TLVT) and California-based Power Integrations (Nasdaq: POWI) will join The Cleantech Index and replace International Rectifier (NYSE: IRF - News), Power-One (Nasdaq: PWER ) and EnerNOC, Inc. (Nasdaq: ENOC ).

The changes will also be reflected in the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based upon CTIUS: the PowerShares Cleantech Portfolio ETF (Amex: PZD ) and the KSM Cleantech ETF (Bloomberg ticker: KSMCLNT) in Israel.

“We selected Telvent and Power Integrations for their strong growth potential, technology, impact, sector representation and leadership,” said managing partner and index advisor, Rafael Coven of Cleantech Indices. “Both companies excel at applying innovative cleantech solutions to a broad array of applications that millions of people use everyday: from appliances, lighting and telecom networks to public transport and highways systems.”

Telvent, a global information technology company, provides real-time services and products to customers in energy and energy transmission and for intelligent transportation systems for roadways and public transport networks. Telvent also provides IT solutions for water and wastewater management, and continuous monitoring of emissions, air & water quality and weather conditions.

Utilizing its Eco-Smart® technology, the company’s ICs have enabled compact, lightweight power supplies that are more energy-efficient and reliable for a broad range of consumer and industrial products.
