Aggreko at Beijing Olympics

Aggreko provided 140 MW of temporary power across 37 Olympic venues in 3 cities: Beijing, Qingdao and Hong Kong. The power, enough to supply over 150,000 homes, will be provided by generators located at each venue and distributed through 470 km of cable and 2,000 distribution panels. Aggreko is employing around 200 staff on the contract, many of whom have been recruited in China, to install, maintain and operate the equipment.
