Power Efficiency Receives Frost & Sullivan 2009 Technology Innovation of the Year Award for E-Save Technology®

LAS VEGAS, NV – February 10, 2009 – Power Efficiency Corporation (OTCBB: PEFF), a clean tech company focused on energy efficiency technologies for electric motors, announced today that it received the 2009 Frost & Sullivan North American Constant Speed Electric Motor Technology Innovation of the Year Award.

“Power Efficiency’s Motor Efficiency Controllers with E-Save Technology provide a technologically innovative yet economical means for many types of motor-driven equipment to use energy much more efficiently,” explains Chandrakumar.B.J, Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. “Our extensive global research indicates energy efficiency has become one of the top concerns for purchasers of electric motors and motor controls. Power Efficiency’s unique E-Save Technology improves the efficiency of constant speed motors in a broad range of applications in commercial buildings and industrial facilities.”

Each year the Frost & Sullivan Award for Innovation of the Year is presented to the company that has demonstrated excellence in new products and technologies within its industry. Frost & Sullivan’s analysts track all new product launches, R&D spending, products in development, and new product features and modifications—utilizing extensive interviews in addition to technology research. These results are compared among all companies under consideration, evaluated based on degree of innovation and customer satisfaction, and ranked. Product criteria include significance, competitive advantage, innovation, acceptance, value-added services, and number of competitors with similar products.

Steven Strasser, Power Efficiency’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are very honored to receive this prestigious award from Frost & Sullivan, one of the top international market research and consulting firms. Frost & Sullivan has an outstanding reputation for excellence in research and analysis in the field of industrial automation, including extensive coverage of electric motors and motor controls.”

This Frost & Sullivan Award comes after a year of significant developments and innovations for Power Efficiency’s motor efficiency controllers (MECs) based on E-Save Technology. Three patent filings have been completed on new inventions and the Company expects to file additional patents in 2009.

Power Efficiency’s MECs with E-Save Technology have been installed, and are already saving energy, on escalators, granulators, MG-set elevators, rock crushers, stamping presses and other applications. Installations have been completed at airports and transit systems, including Denver International Airport and the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and at industrial facilities such as aggregate plants and plastics facilities.

MECs combine all of the standard features of a sophisticated solid state motor control with energy saving of up to 35%, depending upon the load on the motor. This combination of standard motor control features with energy savings enables OEMs to incorporate MECs on their products to make them more energy efficient and “green”.
