Power generation for utilities
Aggreko: One stop for your utility power generation needs
How we keep power flowing to your customers
When power infrastructure faces disruption, downtime is not an option. Aggreko’s temporary and emergency power generation services ensure continuous delivery, keeping communities and businesses energized when it matters most.
Our power generation solutions cover various sectors:
Nuclear power
Maintaining safety and reliability is essential in nuclear facilities. We provide specialised temporary power solutions that meet the stringent requirements of nuclear power generation, ensuring uninterrupted operations during maintenance, upgrades, or unexpected incidents.
Fossil fuel power generation
From coal to natural gas facilities, our flexible, rapid-response backup power systems minimize downtime and maintain grid stability during planned or unexpected outages.
Renewable energy solutions
As the energy landscape evolves, we provide targeted support across renewable technologies:
- Solar installations: Temporary power bridges to ensure continuous energy supply.
- Battery storage: Supporting grid stability and energy storage infrastructure.
- Electric vehicle charging: Temporary power solutions for EV charging networks.
Whether you’re managing a nuclear facility, a fossil fuel plant, or a cutting-edge renewable energy installation, Aggreko ensures your power generation remains resilient, responsive, and reliable.
Keeping your operations energized through any challenge
Utilities face significant seasonal challenges throughout the year. In summer, extreme heat reduces cooling efficiency and generation capacity; in winter, freezing conditions strain equipment, limit fuel availability, and increase the risk of system failures. Our solutions help you navigate these temperature-driven constraints and maintain reliable power delivery in any season. Because utilities must provide consistent service year-round, even temporary system limitations can impact your ability to meet critical demand.
Our targeted supplemental cooling and power generation support ensures you can continue operations at peak performance.
We offer tailored support to help you:
- Maintain full power generation.
- Meet contractual power delivery requirements.
- Prevent unexpected system downtime.
- Optimise performance during peak demand periods.
We address your most challenging power generation constraints, keeping your operations moving when it matters most.

Supplemental cooling
Environmental compliance is critical for utility operations.
Our innovative cooling solutions help you meet stringent EPA requirements while maintaining optimal plant performance. Many plants struggle to meet EPA-mandated thermal limits, risking potential fines, operational shutdowns, or regulatory penalties.
When thermal discharge limits threaten your operational capabilities, our supplemental cooling systems offer a precise, flexible response. We also provide backup power to auxiliary systems, enabling seamless plant maintenance and outage management.
Our supplemental cooling systems ensure you maintain continuous operations and meet environmental standards.

Supplemental power
High ambient temperatures can significantly impact power generation output. As cooling efficiency decreases and equipment operates under elevated thermal stress, many plants experience measurable drops in available capacity—for example, a unit producing 900 megawatts in cooler conditions may deliver closer to 800 megawatts during periods of extreme heat. These fluctuations create operational constraints that must be managed to maintain reliable delivery.
Our supplemental cooling technologies enable you to:
- Restore full generation capacity
- Maintain consistent megawatt output year-round
- Cool your systems more efficiently
- Maximize seasonal power generation potential
By providing both supplemental cooling and power support, we help you overcome thermal performance challenges, ensuring you can meet your operational targets and regulatory obligations year-round, regardless of environmental conditions.
