Cummins Power Generation at Montana’s leading energy conference

0
comments

The Montana Energy Forum is a growing community of concerned citizens committed to two goals — achieving energy security for the United States and holding elected officials accountable for shaping sound energy policies. The forum believes in an “all of the above” approach to energy policy, including traditional energy sources (e.g., oil, natural gas, coal) as well as renewable energy sources and technologies. On April 3–4, the group will convene at Montana Energy 2012, the leading energy conference in the state.

The conference includes energy industry representatives, suppliers of goods and services, contractors, local government officials and economic development professionals. Cummins Rocky Mountain is proud to be an exhibitor at the event. A rental generator set model will be on display that has been especially popular within the oil and gas industry.

Larry Fetting, General Manager, Americas Rental Segment, will be on hand to support our regional Cummins distributor and meet with customers and other attendees. Oil and gas exploration is an important industry in the state, with substantially increased drilling activity in the Williston Basin in recent years. There are also several major coal mines in Montana. Reliable rental power is essential to many of these energy-supplying operations.

Please stop by and say hello if you are attending the event!

Women’s French Soccer Team helps mark 200th Cummins Power Generation rental unit sale to Delta Service Location

0
comments

The celebrated, five-time winner of the women’s French soccer championship, Olympique Lyonnais Féminin, helped Cummins France mark the sale of its 200th generator set to Delta Service Location.

Delta Service Location (DSL) is one of Cummins France’ largest customers. It specializes in a variety of industrial services. These include pumping and temporary energy. It boasts an advanced-technology rental fleet of 400 units that range from 15 to 2000 kVA. Delta Service Location not only provides the equipment but also turnkey services through a highly-trained technical staff. Some of the services it provides include delivery, installation, start-up assistance as well as solution management and maintenance.

Cummins France, an official sponsor of Olympique Lyonnais Féminin, invited the team to help celebrate the occasion of the 200th rental unit sale to DSL. They arrived in their official coach to the cheers and excitement of locals, especially the neighborhood’s children. All of Cummins France employees also attended the event at which Cummins France CEO, Rainer Wissmanns, personally handed the keys of the unit to DSL President, Michel Denis.

Wissmanns, in his speech to the assembly, emphasized the importance of team spirit, exemplified by the success of the women’s soccer team, but also by the relationship between Cummins France and DSL. He further noted that, together, the two companies deliver an added value component that often makes the difference in securing business. Michel Denis, in his comments, noted that industry, sports and the economy are often linked by a common denominator: performance.

The women’s soccer team, based in Lyon, has a long history of success, starting in 1970 when it was part of FC Lyon, a French sports club. In 2004, they became the women’s section of Olympique Lyonnais. Lyon reached the 2009-10 final of the inaugural edition of the UEFA Women’s Champions League, losing to German club, Turbine Potsdam. Yet, the French women’s soccer team took revenge and won the 2010-11 European title on May 26 against the German team.

The Fridley ’49er Days Festival began in 1974 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Minnesota city’s incorporation in 1949. The event now includes a parade, sports tournaments, street dances, a carnival, the Miss Fridley contest, craft shows, a K-9 demonstration and more. Cummins Power Generation, which has its headquarters in Fridley, is once again donating the use of a complete power generation system for the festival.


As they did last year, Cummins and its exclusive regional distributor Cummins NPower are supplying a complete prime power system to support the events on stage (called show mobile in industry parlance) and the food vendors. The system includes:

  • A Quiet Site 150 kW rental unit
  • All cables and cords
  • Distribution panel and boxes
  • Delivery and pickup 
of the unit
  • Labor
  • Necessary local permits
  • Diesel fuel

Philippe Guyony, Executive Director, Product Planning and Global Marketing for Cummins Power Generation, said that “The 2011 festival takes on added meaning as a way for the city to come together after the tornado that ripped through several areas of the city on May 22, causing substantial property damage. Cummins and Cummins NPower are happy to provide this support and give something back to the city of Fridley, especially this year.”

Powering the Polar Bear Plunge for Special Olympics Minnesota

comments

Into the ice-cold waters of Lake Calhoun on March 5 in Minneapolis went a weatherman in a wacky winged outfit, 40 identically clad gnomes, a bride and an Elvis impersonator. They were among some 3,000 people who dove or jumped into a large hole cut in the lake ice to raise money for Special Olympics Minnesota. Cummins Power Generation was also there.

A mobile generator from Cummins Power Generation supplied all the power needed for this fundraising event for the Special Olympics, including electricity for the PA system, changing rooms, hot tubs and the giant inflatable polar bear that served as the dramatic entrance point for the plungers.

Plunges are a part of the year-round fundraising program called the Law Enforcement Torch Run, through which law enforcement personnel from across Minnesota raise funds and awareness for Special Olympics Minnesota. The Minneapolis event raised $600,000. All 14 of the 2011 plunges combined — in which nearly 11,000 weather-braving plungers participated — have raised a total of $2.2 million.
