Aggreko provides power and temperature control solutions to
customers who need them either very quickly, or for a short or
indeterminate length of time. Examples would be the supply of power
to an industrial site which needs to service its permanent power
supply, supplying a whole city in times of power shortage, or
providing a major sporting event with power and cooling systems. We
serve our customers either through 120 service centres, which we
call the Local Business, or globally through our International
Power Projects business.
In the Local business, which accounts for about 60% of our
revenues, we hire our equipment to customers, who then operate it
for themselves, although we retain responsibility for servicing and
maintaining it. In the
International Power Projects business, which
accounts for about 40% of revenues, we operate as a power producer.
We install and operate power plants and we charge our customers
both for providing the generating capacity, and for the electricity
we produce. We design and manufacture equipment specifically for
these requirements in our factory in Dumbarton, Scotland.
Recent customers include the
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, the Vancouver 2010
Olympic Winter Games and the power utilities in over
50 countries including the UK, France, Angola,
Kenya,
Indonesia, Bangladesh, Venezuela, Chile, Brazil and the
USA.
