2023 Moving to Equity Report - Report - Page 13
PAXON just turned 7
years old in August and
we have successfully expanded operations
to many states across the U.S. I am proud
to say that Southern Company has been on
this journey with PAXON as one of our very
first clients.
Nooshin Behroyan, Founder, PAXON
PAXON
PAXON Energy and Infrastructure Services, LLC, is
an engineering infrastructure company that provides
customized pipeline integrity services and more.
RBG Electrical
RBG Electrical started its journey in 2003 as a
residential renovation construction management
company. Over the years, it transitioned to
commercial and industrial electrical contracting,
becoming a key player in the industry. The minorityowned company secured its first Southern Company
contract in 2019 at Georgia Power’s Plant Wansley,
leading to subsequent projects at various Georgia
Power plants.
Each of these
opportunities
allowed us to receive feedback and support
from Southern Company at every step. We
worked with mentors who guided us, and who
continue to guide us along the way.
Derrick Mosley, President, RBG Electrical
PAXON was founded by
Noosin Behroyan, who
immigrated to the U.S. from
Iran, and she takes pride in
mentoring other women in the
industry and building a diverse
workforce. Fifteen percent of
PAXON’s field inspection staff
are women and/or veterans.
Looking Ahead
Participating in Southern Company’s Supplier
Diversity Business Development program in 2021,
RBG Electrical expanded into RBG Professional
and has completed 34 projects for the system.
With significant growth, the company secured a
5-year contract with Southern Company’s Lighting
Division, doubling its revenue since the inaugural
contract. RBG Electrical aims to extend its services
to transmission and distribution.
The company has been instrumental in working
with Southern Company Gas to reduce methane
emissions and increase pipeline safety, especially
during maintenance projects. PAXON has become
a key partner in helping deploy innovative
sustainability solutions, like their cross compression
process that recaptures the methane gas created
during our operations activities. This process
helped Southern Company Gas reduce its scope 1
greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 820,000
tons of CO2 since 2018.
We are focused on reaching our 30% goal by
strengthening existing partnerships and expanding
capabilities within our diverse supplier base,
furthering economic inclusion in the communities
we are privileged to serve.
