High Performance, Low Maintenance Components Designed to Reduce Dust Emissions and Enhance Thermal Efficiency of Plant's Boiler

CHARLOTTE, NC - June 4, 2009 - SPX Corporation (NYSE: SPW) today announced that its thermal equipment and services segment will provide electrostatic precipitators and air preheaters for a new coal-fired power plant in Maasvlakte, the harbor area within the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

"SPX's highly efficient, Balcke-Durr-branded electrostatic precipitators are designed to remove fine particulate matter such as dust and smoke from the Maasvlakte plant's air stream, while our Balcke-Durr-branded air preheaters serve to reduce the useful heat lost in the flue gas and thus increase the thermal efficiency of the plant's boiler," said Drew Ladau, SPX segment president.

The Maasvlakte power plant is being built by E.ON Benelux, one of the largest utilities in Europe, and a subsidiary of E.ON A.G. Construction of the 1,100 MW plant will begin in 2010 and the plant is expected to become operational in 2012. At that time, it is projected to generate approximately seven percent of the total electricity demand in the Netherlands.

In addition to manufacturing Balcke-Durr branded products, SPX's thermal equipment and services segment is also a leading provider of wet, dry and hybrid cooling towers, utilized by thousands of power stations and plants in more than 60 countries across six continents.
