International Participant Spotlight: PS Energy Group
With energy conservation being such an important part of the sustainability equation, we are pleased to welcome PS Energy Group, Inc. (www.psenergy.com) as a Participating Company to The Environmental Trade Mission and Conference. As you will read below, they are doing much to help, not only the environment but also the bottom line profit of many organizations..
PS Energy Group, Inc is a privately-owned, Atlanta-based company that has offered business, industry and government a full range of energy and transportation solutions since 1985. As one of the nation’s top 35 diversity-owned businesses and the nation’s 4th largest Hispanic-owned energy company, PS Energy Group is a provider of bulk and retail transportation fuel, emergency fueling, and fleet management services, including its wireless division, etracTM (www.etracllc.com). In 2007, the Company embarked on a strategic alliance with Capgemini, a leader in Smart Metering Deployment and Business Process Outsourcing.
PS Energy’s Fuel Management Service Program has reduced overall fuel costs to its customers by increasing efficiency and allowing accountability of fuel consumption to the vehicle level, regardless of where a transaction takes place. Additionally, many utilities elect Price Risk Management options to budget for both onsite and retail fuel purchases.
At The Environmental Trade Mission and ConferenceTM, you will learn firsthand from its leadership about the PS Energy Group Fuel Management Service Program, which can be customized to include inventory and supply management, reporting, consignment fuel, wet hose fueling, and equipment and maintenance. The program also encompasses the etrac™ division, which offers Telematics, GPS and wireless tank monitoring solutions. These wireless products can help improve fleet productivity and profitability, as well as improving the quality of the environment through better vehicle tracking and monitoring and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, by providing remote access to all locations, liquid inventories can be managed more effectively.
In 1995, PS Energy Group developed an Emergency Fueling Service designed specifically for the utility industry. This first-of–its-kind program involved the development of emergency deployment strategies to help resolve power interruption due to hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms or other natural disasters. In 1998, PS Energy formally launched its nationwide Emergency Fueling Program, providing several relief options to industry and utilities when conventional fueling is unavailable. PS Energy’s Emergency Fueling Program consists of extensive and secured resource networks, which provide significant infrastructure for major and/or multiple events.
PS Energy has been the recipient of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s “Administrator’s Award for Excellence” for five (5) consecutive years and was named Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems’ “Subcontractor of the Year” for two (2) consecutive years. In addition, the Company was selected as the “Supplier of the Year” by the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council in 2006, in recognition of its energy-based relief efforts during Hurricane Katrina.
In 2009, PS Energy became an integral part of the Clean Cities Atlanta Petroleum Reduction Program, which has established a project for expanding the use of alternative fuels and advanced technology vehicles in the metropolitan Atlanta region. Involvement in the Clean Cities Atlanta Petroleum Reduction Program is yet another example of PS Energy Group’s long-term commitment to helping increase energy efficiency while enhancing the quality of our environment.
When asked why her company is participating in The Environmental Trade Mission and ConferenceTM , PS Energy Group’s President, CEO and founder, Livia Whisenhunt, explained, “We see this as a great opportunity to partner with both national and international businesses who share our goal to better the environment through sustainable business practices. And, it is always exciting to learn more about new
clean technologies.” Ms Whisenhunt as well as many of her team will be available throughout the conference to meet with you privately to explore how they can design a program to meet your demands. We thank PS Energy Group for its support of this year’s Environmental Trade Mission and ConferenceTM.
