Keeping Your Critical Customers Powered, Always
Resilient utility solutions when you need them most
Temporary power for utilities is more than a stopgap; it’s critical infrastructure. When grid delays, permitting issues, or unexpected outages disrupt service, your customers expect you to remain online. You know that delays in obtaining permits, limited infrastructure, remote project locations, and other challenges can create a “utility gap” that leaves your operations without power. These gaps risk significant disruptions and financial impact. Aggreko partners with you to bridge these gaps by delivering fast, flexible, and reliable power solutions—ensuring you keep your projects running smoothly and your customers never left in the dark.
