The Challenge
Long generator runtimes affecting the budget
Miami is home to a magical light experience at one of their tropical botanical gardens. This 23 acre garden has been transformed into an enchanting illuminated light experience. However, the event was running off two parallel 200 kW diesel generators that were burning fuel 24 hours a day. This meant the fuel costs were through the roof and were affecting the budget to the point that the customer had to consider closing the project.
The event managers came to Aggreko as a trusted partner to see if they could find a way to decrease costs and emissions, while still being able to provide the power necessary for the show’s lighting effects.
