Penske and Kenergy
Leveraging buying power to benefit everyone.
Kenergy, a Touchstone Energy Cooperative, is a customer-owned, not-for-profit electric company that purchases power at wholesale for distribution to its customers. It serves nearly 55,000 households, commercial enterprises and industries in 14 rural western-Kentucky counties.
Before October 2005, Kenergy maintained a rolling fleet of approximately 125 vehicles, plus another 85 pieces. For a variety of reasons, maintenance issues escalated and repair costs increased. Kenergy decided to outsource its fleet maintenance to Penske. We leveraged our buying power to control costs on parts and other items. Kenergy was able to reach a 27-month savings goal in only 12 months. Our knowledge base also helped Kenergy improve technical skills.
