Reliable temporary power solutions for the utilities industry

We believe our power generation, transmission, and distribution expertise is second to none. Whether you’re bringing a fossil fuel plant or renewable plant online, need temporary power and distribution during planned or unplanned outages, or have HVAC or dehumidification needs, Aggreko has a trusted track record.

Supporting utilities with tailored power and cooling solutions

We know that no two plants are the same. So instead of supplying off-the-shelf rental equipment, we listen to your needs, work out the best approach, then engineer, deliver, install, monitor, and maintain the best solution for the job. Most of the time, this means we custom-design power, cooling or dehumidification systems for our customers, and this is where we excel.

Our electrical engineers and industry-savvy technicians are certified to work in the utilities industry, which means we know how to reduce outage days, keep customer interruptions to a minimum and maintain a safe working environment. You’ll be in safe hands with us as your utility partner.

Keep downtime to a minimum in the most efficient way

Reliable maintenance support for utilities

Keep operations running during shutdowns

Power plants can’t run at optimal levels without regular maintenance. However, we understand the need to keep planned outages to a minimum, or risk letting your customers down. We can help you review your processes and engineer the best approach to your maintenance processes and schedules, ultimately reducing outage days, saving money, and focusing on safety.

During maintenance, we can supply high-voltage switch gear and transformers that sync with the grid to augment, or replace, power. And if you face a sudden power outage, our expertise and fast turnaround times mean that we can get you back online as quickly and as painlessly as possible.

Safe deployment of cooling systems

We put safety at the heart of everything we do. From making work environments comfortable to installing process cooling systems in power plants, there are many ways we can keep mission-critical systems running.

We provide:

  • Dehumidification systems to help preserve your equipment and protect turbine engines from corrosion.
  • Cooling systems to enhance power production by lowering inlet and discharge temperatures.
  • Effective workspace cooling systems and heat-stress mitigation
