At Mercury Governor, integrity is more than a concept. It’s the way we do business and how we serve our customers.


We believe the key to business success is not maximizing profits or selling products and services our customers don’t need.


We believe success will come from serving our customers’ actual needs, helping them out when they’re in a jam, and going above and beyond to deliver products and services that our customers come to expect.


We can only achieve our business goal of integrity by dealing fairly and honestly with customers. Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking.

Governors and voltage regulators are the ‘First Responders’ when a mismatch between supply and demand occurs daily.

 

With every MW of Solar and Wind added to the grid, the power fluctuations increase, which means governors will become even more critical than they are today.

Testimonials

Hear from the decision makers yourself!

I have been very impressed with Mercury Governor Group (MGG). We are very pleased with the governor system that MGG designed, manufactured, and commissioned for NIPSCO. MGG was able to provide this system within a very aggressive timeline and bring it to full operation before the project deadline. MGG worked very closely with Hydro operations, engineering, installation contractors and was able to address all the field issues the arose during the installation quickly. Mr. Yohe’s expert knowledge and experience with governor systems was one of the key factors why NIPSCO awarded the bid to MGG, as well as his reputation in the industry. NIPSCO Hydro Operations plans to upgrade the remaining governor systems with MGG and look forward to continuing to work with them.

Mercury Governor Group is easy to work with. The project schedule has changed multiple times with work being pulled forward ot pushed back, and Mercury has flexed without complaining. Mercury has flexed without complaining. Mercury has achieved all scheduled deadlines with high quality, even the aggressive ones. Mercury does what they said they would do when they said they would do it. I look forward to another project with Mercury. They listen to understand their clients' needs and ask probing questions to dive down to the critical issue. Then they restate the problem in their own words to verify understanding. They are great to work with."

MCG has been great to work with! They have no problem customizing their system and tailoring their design package for individual customer requests. Our electricians and instrumentation/controls technicians have also enjoyed working with them on filling in the gaps on our existing drawings and adding custom maintenance features to the new control system to help streamline their tasks."

We had a tight budget and Mercury was able to give us a quality product at our price point. Greg is a governor expert so his knowledge is very useful. We kept the existing Woodward control cabinet so the wiring had to conform to existing terminal configurations and the control scheme had to interface with the existing scheme which was no issue. The new proportional valve/filter assembly fit perfectly. The Unit #1 governor is a Pelton/Woodward hybrid which took some custom brackets and worked as expected. I would use Mercury again without hesitation."
