PowerSecure Stands Ready to Deploy Backup Power for Customers and Utilities as Hurricane Earl Approaches

PowerSecure's IDG Smart Grid Monitoring team has been in "storm mode" throughout the week, and its fleet of standby power systems are standing ready to ensure that customers received immediate backup power in the event of an outage, and work with utilities to assist in the identification of outage locations. PowerSecure has approximately 1,000 IDG power systems deployed at customer locations to protect against operational interruptions, spoilage, and maximize customers' ability to remain open throughout the storm. Additionally, PowerSecure's Utility Services team is also prepared to assist East Coast utilities with line crews and utility trucks to support their efforts to restore any power losses as quickly as possible.

Sidney Hinton, CEO of PowerSecure, said, "This time of year our team keeps a close watch on tropical conditions, and has been making preparations all week to ensure our utility partners and customers are protected during any power outages which may occur. Our team monitors the IDG systems "24 by 7" throughout the storm, and maintains communications with our utility partners whenever an outage occurs. Our Utility Services crews are also standing by to assist utilities with any power restoration needs."
