The Role and Importance of Cardinal Energy Solutions Group

The role and importance of Cardinal Energy Solutions Group (CESG) is multifaceted.

We are charged with the responsibility of having to “wear many hats” in pursuit of programs specifically suited to any environment by probing and self- discovery.

Our goal is not just about getting better energy pricing, but drilling down to unearth what the establishment of a successful program would mean to the company or institution we work with.

Their reputation and the impact to the surrounding local community is as essential in our approach.



There are many challenges that all companies and institutions continuously encounter like, budget constraints, limited facility maintenance expertise, antiquated equipment that needs upgrading, state constraints on type of energy that can or must be used (example: Green Energy as a percentage of all energy used), timelines to implement (example: during slower time periods of activity), etc.

Thus the ability to understand the conditions that lay ahead of any company or institution is never standard.

As a result, CESG takes a holistic approach to identifying and crafting solutions that is unique to everyone we partner with, using a collaborative approach coupled with our over 10 years of experience.



The Importance of Utilizing the Right Partners:

CESG represents numerous vendors and evaluates which ones are most suitable for our clients based on the conditions that are presented and the necessary mandates.

CESG continuously performs critical and ongoing evaluations of each vendor that will serve to accomplish the desired outcome for the project.



Our Mission: Find the best solution to any challenge by leveraging our expertise to deal with any and all conditions.

Our self-discovery process starts with our clients to identify the current state versus the desired state, but more importantly envision which vendor(s) would be best suited now and in the future to satisfy those tasks.

The utilization of a combination of vendors is leveraged to create the most advantageous program unique to each client.

We draw on our many years of experience both in the industry and interaction with our vendors to know who is right for the job in the right situation.

In essence we leverage their uniqueness when and where applicable.



We are in pursuit of solutions not vendors.

There is always a concern of having a “Product Dump” when any vendor is not held in check.

It is the mission of the vendors to sell their products to meet their quota and their focus is on their bottom line not the clients.

Our focus is knowing what solutions will be suitable for any situation, that is what CESG’s reputation is known for.



Speaking truths:

In order for any energy program to be successful, it is incumbent upon all departments to be engaged.

We have found the most effective programs are when all departments from financial, HR, facilities, etc. understand that their role in Energy Management will create a mindset of Energy Awareness.

That consciousness that is cultivated permeates not only through to the employees but also to the local community!



Our Higher Calling:

Our case studies attest to the fact that we have a positive impact on the bottom line of our respective clients and our ability to change minds to be energy conscious is our greatest pursuits.

CESG is committed as seasoned energy consultants to solve the issues of the day around the appropriate energy management/usage equation.

We help our clients know the stability into the future to budget and control their costs in the energy arena.

Our highest calling is to utilize the earth’s resources in a conscientious and responsible manner.

Therefore, CESG monitors the global and local market trends, and alternative energy resources that help mitigate Greenhouse Gas emissions with the intent to create goodwill where applicable.
