Supplemental and Emergency Grid Energy

Grid Support & Supplemental Energy Solutions for Transmission and Distribution

We deliver temporary power to help transmission and distribution companies maintain service during maintenance and outages

Even with redundant lines and informed grid planning, seasonal and temporary demand can often outstrip capacity. These challenges intensify during complex maintenance projects where parts of your transmission and distribution infrastructure may be unavailable. 

At Aggreko, we develop turnkey supplemental energy solutions using our comprehensive fleet of equipment and decades of hands-on experience working on large-scale energy projects. We can help you: 

  • Engineer temporary energy to scale and meet demand
  • Maintain the highest levels of resilience, stability, and availability
  • Respond to emergency grid energy requirements quickly and safely
  • Get supplemental energy without compromising on your sustainability aims
Our difference: supplemental energy at scale

With extensive experience working on multi-megawatt projects where continuity is critical, we’re the ideal choice for emergencies and planned projects alike.

  • Project management - We bring clarity to complex projects with structured management and effective planning.
  • Faster response - We can deliver the solution you need, for as long as you need it, at a moment’s notice.

Keeping your customers energized
  • Respond to peak demand fast, avoiding brownouts with high-voltage switchgear and transformers that sync with the grid to augment available energy. Our turnkey solutions for peak demand energy supply can be ready in weeks, depending on urgency.
  • Handle transmission and distribution maintenance with access to highly scalable equipment, supported by our engineering expertise, while parts of your infrastructure go offline. We’ll help you increase your agility for maintenance, while reducing the risk of overruns.
  • Meet seasonal demand without impacting reliability and stability, whether you’re faced with increased energy consumption as temperatures shift or heightened demand on local infrastructure. We can rapidly scale your available energy and grid capacity, right alongside this demand.
