    PSG Energy Group

Established in 1813, the City of Connersville is one of the oldest cities in Indiana.  
 
In 2018 the City of Connersville partnered with PSG Energy Group to reduce its operating costs and carbon footprint. PSG Energy retrofit buildings with energy efficient LED lighting and installed ground mount and rooftop solar arrays at fourteen locations, across Connersville. Solar arrays were installed at the city’s water treatment facility, their municipal building, and on the roof of an outdoor amphitheater in a city park.  
 
Partnering with PSG Energy Group, Connersville was able to benefit from net metering before legislation passed to phase it out of future development projects. These measures allowed the City to realize a 90% reduction in energy procurement from the grid and sell back their excess energy to the utility.

Testimonial

  • Sometime in 2017, The City of Connersville and Utilities, began discussing doing a solar project but did not know much more about it than that. After being directed to PSG through a mutual acquaintance we walked through the process and decided to do a full city project and try to utilize solar in all feasible areas.

    There were hiccups and challenges as the project was constructed but that was where the true value of PSG became known. We went to work together to overcome these challenges and ended up with a product we are all happy with. PSG has continued to support the project fully and we see in the reporting that the project is beginning to pay off. I would not hesitate to recommend Jennifer and her team to be considered for a project of any size.
