Power Africa’s manufacturing growth: reliable thermal, hybrid & microgrid solutions

Unstable grids, rising energy costs, and seasonal peaks threaten Africa’s industrial ambitions. Power interruptions stall production lines, planned maintenance cuts profits, and urgent demand spikes strain capacity. How do you maintain operational resilience while reducing costs?

Aggreko: your energy resilience partner across Africa

For 30+ years, Aggreko has powered African industry through grid instability, cost pressures, and rapid growth. We deploy robust thermal generators (diesel/gas), integrated solar power, and battery storage in intelligent hybrid systems and microgrids – delivering cost-efficient, uninterrupted energy that keeps production lines moving 24/7.

At Aggreko, we understand the unique energy challenges facing African manufacturers. We don’t just supply power; we deliver tailored, innovative energy solutions that keep your production humming, reduce your operational costs, and support your sustainability journey. We’re here to help you manufacture with confidence.

Defeat grid instability with thermal & hybrid power

• The challenge: frequent grid failures halt production and damage equipment costing time and money
• Our solution: seamless standby generators (diesel/gas) and battery storage (BESS). Our thermal units deliver instant, reliable backup during outages. Hybrid systems intelligently blend thermal and renewables for maximum uptime.

Cut energy costs with hybrid microgrids

• The challenge: high grid tariffs and volatile fuel prices erode margins.
• Our solution: behind-the-meter microgrids integrating efficient diesel/gas generators, solar PV, and batteries. We optimise energy mix to reduce fuel use and grid dependence 

Scale for peaks & emergencies with modular power

• The challenge: seasonal demand surges or breakdowns exceed your fixed capacity.
• Our solution: rapid-deployment thermal generators (diesel/gas) and cooling systems. Add temporary megawatts or chilling capacity within days – zero Capex. We deploy precisely what you need, when you need it, without long-term capital investment. Flex your power with your production.

Future-proof with advanced thermal & hybrid tech: optimise operations with expertise

• Beyond hardware: our services include 24/7 remote monitoring and onsite technical management. Gain peace of mind with proactive maintenance, expert oversight and data driven insights to optimise your performance and reduce operational risks.
