Fremantle Hospital is an Australian public hospital situated southwest of Perth, Western Australia. In September 2020, the local utility provider (Western Power) needed to replace one of the main incoming HV feeds to the hospital, which meant that critical components needed to be taken offline for a period of time whilst the replacement took place.

Such an undertaking is only required approximately once every 40 years, so the hospital needed to find rapid, reliable power to ensure they stay online.

The failure of power systems in a hospital setting has the potential for disastrous consequences and in the event of a power outage, a number of services including clinical activities, emergency surgery, medical and building equipment could be affected -compromising the healthcare of patients.
