As Louisiana faces increasing challenges from power disruptions, residents and businesses are becoming more aware of the importance of reliable backup power solutions. One such challenge is “load shedding,” a practice that has been steadily affecting communities in the state. At Perma Power Generators, we recognize the rising concerns about energy availability and are committed to providing reliable, high-performance generator systems that help keep homes and businesses powered during times of uncertainty. As the CEO of Perma Power, Anthony P. Marullo III explains, “It’s not just about selling a product; it’s about understanding the unique energy challenges our community faces and providing solutions that ensure people can continue to live and work without interruption.”
What Is Load Shedding and Why Does It Happen?
Load shedding, a term that has gained significant attention in Louisiana, refers to the intentional reduction of power supply to certain areas to prevent an overload on the electrical grid. It typically occurs when demand for electricity exceeds the grid’s supply capacity, which can happen during peak usage hours, especially when extreme weather conditions or high energy demands strain the system. In Louisiana, where hurricanes, storms, and other environmental factors are common, power grids often experience failures, prompting load shedding as a necessary measure to maintain grid stability.
The state’s infrastructure is under constant pressure from rising energy demands, combined with the risks posed by natural disasters. With increasing occurrences of severe weather events and power shortages, residents and businesses must prepare for power disruptio ns that could last for hours or even days. This is where backup power solutions, like those offered by Perma Power Generators, become indispensable.
The Impact of Load Shedding in Louisiana
Load shedding affects both homes and businesses in profound ways. For businesses, power disruptions can halt operations, leading to financial losses, production delays, and reputational damage. Retail stores, medical facilities, restaurants, and other service-based businesses face significant challenges when the power goes out. Loss of revenue, equipment damage, and disruptions to customer service can severely impact their bottom line.
For homeowners, load shedding can be even more stressful. In addition to the inconvenience of not having lights or air conditioning, essential systems like heating, water pumps, and security alarms can be compromised. In some cases, prolonged power outages can even threaten safety, particularly for those with medical needs who rely on electricity-powered devices.
At Perma Power, we understand the critical nature of uninterrupted power, and we are dedicated to offering dependable solutions tailored to meet the needs of both residential and commercial clients.
How Perma Power Addresses the Challenges of Load Shedding
Unlike many companies in the backup power industry, Perma Power focuses on delivering customized generator solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients. By assessing the power requirements of each location, we ensure that businesses and homeowners receive the right-sized generators to maintain operational stability during power disruptions. Our team specializes in recommending and installing high-performance units, including our preferred 30kw liquid cooled generators, which are ideal for a variety of applications, from residential homes to commercial operations.
“We take a personalized approach to each project,” says Marullo. “We assess the client’s exact needs and provide them with a generator system that will keep them up and running, no matter what happens with the grid.”
Beyond Installation: Comprehensive Support and Maintenance
Perma Power doesn’t just sell and install generators; we provide a complete backup power solution that includes ongoing support, maintenance, and monitoring. A generator that fails during an emergency is as unreliable as having no generator at all. To prevent this, we offer regular inspections, servicing, and performance monitoring to ensure that every generator is operating at peak efficiency.
Our proactive approach extends to emergency response during extreme weather events or technical issues. Perma Power’s team works tirelessly to ensure that customers are never left in the dark, even during the most severe disruptions.
Expertise You Can Trust
Perma Power is driven by a diverse team of seasoned professionals with deep expertise in the backup power industry. CEO Anthony P. Marullo III emphasizes the importance of company culture, stating:
“It’s genuinely all about the team within a company and most importantly, a culture based on service. Here at Perma Power, we have some of the most qualified technicians in Louisiana, committed to delivering the highest quality products and services.”
Backed by years of experience and technical insight, Perma Power’s leadership guides a team that excels in both installation and the complex technical aspects of power systems.
“We pride ourselves on being a true power partner,” Marullo adds. “Our focus isn’t just on the initial install, it’s on long-term reliability and customer satisfaction. That’s why we provide customized solutions, not a one-size-fits-all approach.”
Why Load Shedding Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought
For Louisiana residents and business owners, the risk of load shedding is real, and the consequences of a power outage can be far-reaching. Whether it’s a short-term inconvenience or a prolonged disruption, the ability to stay operational is crucial. Without a reliable backup power system, businesses risk significant downtime, data loss, and damage to equipment. For homeowners, the stakes can be even higher, particularly for those with medical equipment or young children.
Perma Power Generators is prepared to meet the needs of Louisiana’s communities by providing customized, reliable backup power solutions. As energy demands continue to rise and natural disasters become more frequent, businesses and homeowners alike should prioritize a backup power plan to protect their assets and ensure they’re never left without power.

As a Louisiana-based company, Perma Power takes pride in its deep connection to the community. With extensive experience in the industry and a commitment to supporting local businesses and residents, Perma Power is more than just a generator provider, it’s a trusted power partner. Whether during hurricane season or any other time of year, Perma Power is committed to keeping its customers powered and protected.
