Exhibit 99.1

POWERSECURE PROVIDES RECORD LEVEL OF LOAD RELIEF AND

BACKUP POWER FOR UTILITY AND COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS DURING

COLD AND STORMY JANUARY

WAKE FOREST, N.C. – February 10, 2014 – PowerSecure International, Inc. (NYSE: POWR) today announced that the company’s distributed generation solutions were called on by utilities 171 times during January 2014 to take a total of 1,283 megawatts of hospital, data center, industrial, retail, military, municipal and grocery store load off the grid and onto generator power to insure the reliable supply of electricity due to the high demand for power caused by the extreme cold.

This represents a 99 percent increase in activity compared to the number of generator systems that were called on by customers in January 2013, and an all-time January monthly record for PowerSecure.

In addition to providing this demand flexibility for our utility customers, PowerSecure’s distributed generation systems also provided emergency backup power to support 142 power outages totaling 9,812 minutes in January, with the longest outage lasting 12 ¹⁄₂ hours.

In total, PowerSecure’s distributed generation solutions were utilized by customers for load relief or backup power in 20 states during January 2014. According to the National Weather Service, January 2014 produced the lowest temperatures recorded in more than 100 years in many cities.

“Because we provide our systems to large commercial power customers, utilities know they can count on PowerSecure for load relief during peak demand times, like those caused by the extreme cold in January,” said Sidney Hinton, chief executive officer of PowerSecure.

“It is a privilege for us to serve our utility customers and to provide the reliable emergency backup power and customer service our commercial customers count on PowerSecure for when weather events knock out power from the grid,” Hinton added.

PowerSecure provides complete turnkey service to its distributed generation customers, which translates to industry-leading system reliability of more than 98 percent.

The company also has utility infrastructure crews that respond to utility requests for emergency power restoration following ice storms, wind damage and other events which cause widespread power outages. Over the past week, more than 200 PowerSecure electricity crew members have been working, at the request of local utilities, to restore power that has been disrupted by an ice storm in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States.
