About us
The First Energy Group was established in 1989 at a time when terms like 'energy effectiveness' and 'energy conservation' were foreign to most businesses. Things have changed quite a bit over the last 19 years, yet throughout that time The First Energy Group has remained true to its primary mission—helping companies do more with less energy. We help our clients manage their energy and growth by showing them how to use less energy to generate better results. We've been providing energy effectiveness and environmental impact solutions to thousands of companies like Snapple, Lenox, Sun Chemical, Integrated Packaging and Simon & Schuster, along with hundreds of lesser know companies.
The First Energy Group specializes in unique energy effectiveness programs that provide rapid payback and improved working conditions. We offer a full spectrum of energy management and alternative energy solution that range from turn-key to fully customized design and engineering work. Some of our primary services include: energy audits, lighting reviews, consulting services, turnkey projects, performance contracting, and a wealth of other energy management services including client education.

We at The First Energy Group are deeply committed to the environment and believe that commercial entities in particular have a duty to be conscientious stewards of the planet. We take this mission very seriously and gear every aspect of our business to that end.
