Utility Contingency Planning
Energy Contingency Planning And Disaster Recovery Strategies For Business Continuity
We partner with transmission and distribution companies to plan ahead for emergencies and disasters, delivering temporary power solutions that help their communities stay connected, even when the unexpected happens
Every year, thousands of homes and businesses experience energy outages for hours or days because of emergencies, equipment failure, and natural disasters. Everyone in transmission and distribution has a vital role to play in planning for these scenarios – and accelerating estimated time to restoration (ETR) in a way that’s cost-efficient and practical.
At Aggreko, we combine our sprawling fleet of energy equipment with expertise in utilities and recovering from emergencies at scale. We can help you:
- Anticipate your needs before disaster strikes
- Establish clear responsibilities and workflows for emergencies
- Rapidly implement temporary energy to get your customers re-energized
- Prioritize contingency plans for your aging or over-capacity equipment and substations
- Embed strong risk mitigation and reduce the cost of recovery
