Why PSG
Fayette County selected PSG because of its ability to:

Project Overview
The Fayette County Board of Education partnered with PSG Energy Services to modernize lighting systems across multiple school campuses in Fayetteville, Georgia.
Following a competitive public bid process, PSG was awarded an initial contract to retrofit five schools. After successful completion of that phase in Summer 2024, the district expanded the program to include four additional schools, bringing the total to eight campuses upgraded.
The Challenge
The district sought to improve energy efficiency, reduce utility costs, and enhance the learning environment across multiple campuses. As a publicly bid project, the solution needed to balance performance, cost competitiveness, and material lead times.
In addition to financial considerations, installations had to be completed within strict school break windows, leaving limited time for mobilization and execution.
The Solution
PSG responded to the public bid with a solution that delivered the best overall value, balancing fixture performance, cost structure, and product availability.
Key decisions that shaped the outcome included:
Strategic fixture selection to optimize classroom light quality
Integration of dimming controls in all classrooms to improve flexibility and student experience
Structured scheduling to complete all work during holiday breaks
The disciplined rollout enabled PSG to complete the first five schools successfully, earning the district’s confidence and leading to four additional campuses being awarded.
