Substation Power
Substation Solutions for Maintenance, Emergencies, and Grid Stability
We partner with transmission and distribution firms to reduce the risk of downtime, support substation commissioning, and conduct vital maintenance
Substations are a critical part of the energy infrastructure, transforming and regulating voltages to feed energy to residential and commercial users. When a substation is offline—whether due to maintenance, upgrades, or unplanned issues—the impact on customers is immediate.
At Aggreko, we provide comprehensive temporary power and electrical support for substation work, using our scalable fleet of generators, transformers, distribution equipment, and load banks. We help you:
- Reduce customer minutes of interruption and meet service expectations
- Bridge substation outages with temporary power and transformer solutions
- Maintain customer service during planned maintenance or equipment replacements
- Scale temporary power or supplemental transformers to support peak demand or system constraints
- Test and energize new substations with load bank and commissioning support
- Provide ongoing support during routine maintenance and upgrades
