Auxiliary Power Units & Standby Power Solutions for Reliable Energy

Keep Critical Systems Running Around the Clock With Reliable, Efficient Mobile Power Generation

Our standby power solutions help utility companies continue delivering reliable power for their end users – even in the event of unplanned outages.

Extreme weather, a mechanical fault, or another unexpected event might shut down your operations – but your end users still rely on you for consistent, affordable, efficient access to energy. 

If an unplanned outage disrupts your auxiliary systems, we’ll provide turnkey energy generation solutions that deploy fast and work efficiently. Thanks to our extensive fleet – one of the largest in North America – we’ll get you the equipment you need rapidly, and monitor metrics to ensure you are receiving exactly the amount of power you need – no more, no less. 

You’ll be able to: 

  • Minimize downtime, reducing the impact on end users, avoiding fines and protecting your reliability metrics.
  • Keep critical systems running smoothly and reliably.
  • Reduce the financial impact of unplanned outages by returning to normal operations faster.
  • Keep costs and emissions under control with the latest temporary, greener energy technology.
