Keeping Utilities Energized with Trusted, Temporary Power Solutions
Aggreko: One stop for all Power, HVAC and Air solutions
Engineered power, cooling, heating and compressed air solutions for utility maintenance, commissioning and emergencies.
Our power generation, transmission, and distribution expertise is second to none. Whether you’re bringing a fossil fuel plant or nuclear plant online, need temporary power and distribution during planned or unplanned outages, or have HVAC, compressed air, or dehumidification needs, Aggreko has a trusted track record.
No two projects 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. We custom-design power, cooling or dehumidification applications for our customers, and this is where we excel.
Our electrical engineers and industry-leading technicians are certified to work in the utilities industry, which means we know how to reduce outage time, minimize customer interruptions and maintain a safe working environment.
How we keep power flowing to your customers
Our experienced utility engineers can help you by:
- Quickly restoring power with backup or emergency power systems during outages caused by weather, equipment breakdown, or natural disasters.
- Finding the best way to avoid disruptions and protect equipment during routine maintenance or upgrades.
- Supplying power, distribution, HVAC, compressed air, and dehumidification systems designed to maintain your plant’s capacity.
- Systems scaling for Nuclear power plants.
Keep downtime to a minimum in the most efficient way
Regular maintenance is essential to keep operations running safely and efficiently, but we understand the importance of minimizing downtime and maintaining productivity. Our team can help assess your processes and engineer the best approach to planned maintenance, enabling you to reduce outage days, control costs, and keep safety at the forefront.
During maintenance or unexpected interruptions, we can provide the temporary equipment you need, from high-voltage switchgear and transformers to heating solutions that keep your workforce warm and productive. And when unplanned outages occur, our fast response and flexible power solutions help you get back online quickly and confidently.
Safety-driven temperature control you can count on
Safety is 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.
- Spent fuel cooling for nuclear power plants.
We provide the certified expertise and systems you need to maintain reliable power and temperature control across your operations.
Frequently asked questions
If you’re performing maintenance on an energy source or an essential piece of temperature control equipment, we’ll provide reliable, fast-deploying solutions that keep production processes running smoothly.
You can also use our dehumidification and temperature control solutions to keep pieces of equipment like turbine engines working better for longer between maintenance periods.
Temporary energy solutions play a vital role in helping utilities stay resilient during planned work, emergencies, or periods of high demand. When a substation is down for maintenance or grid capacity is maxed out, a temporary generator can step in to provide energy for critical equipment and restore service as fast as possible for customers.
Temporary energy solutions like generators and electrical distribution equipment can also bridge the gap while permanent energy sources are either offline or still need expansion. By using a temporary energy solution, utility companies can run long-term projects, expand their operations, or react to emergency situations without causing disruption for their customers.
Crucially, using a temporary solution allows you to reap the benefits of generators or electrical distribution solutions without driving up your CAPEX. You’ll also hand responsibility for monitoring and maintaining your temporary energy solution over to your provider – giving you more time to focus on what’s happening in your plant.
You don’t always need to invest in large-scale upgrades to see meaningful performance gains. By adding high-efficiency temporary solutions – like generators and battery energy storage systems (BESS) – you can optimize energy usage during periods of peak demand or extreme weather.
These solutions can reduce strain on permanent systems by supplementing your energy needs, helping the rest of your equipment run better and more efficiently for longer. Hybrid solutions – made up of generators and BESS – can also cut fuel consumption by allowing you to run generators less frequently.
By using a temporary, modular solution – and working with experts to rightsize your equipment – you can easily scale your energy generation capacity up or down to suit your needs. This means you’ll never be using more fuel or spending more budget than you need to.
Whether it's a planned maintenance window or an unexpected emergency, we’re ready to respond – fast. We provide temporary energy solutions, including generators, electrical distribution solutions, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), all tailored to your specific plant layout and operational goals.
Our utility-certified engineers will assess your site and deploy a fully integrated solution that keeps energy flowing and critical operations running.
From helping nuclear plants stay cool during shutdowns to restoring transmission capacity after storm damage, we’re trusted by utility companies across North America to reduce downtime and protect customers when it matters most.
