Comprehensive power engineered solutions for oil and gas industry
Leveraging decades of industry experience, Aggreko delivers tailored power solutions that meet the specific demands of each phase of your oil and gas project. From construction and testing to ongoing operations and maintenance, our offerings ensure maximum efficiency, safety, and sustainability in our oil and gas industry services:
- Flare Gas to Power: convert excess flare gases into valuable electricity, reducing emissions and operational costs.
- Microgrid Solutions: deploy centralised power plants or microgrids, either hybrid (combining renewables, gas, and storage) or thermal (diesel or gas), to provide reliable, scalable energy for electric submersible pumps (ESPs), remote drilling rigs, or large facilities.
- Hybrid Power Solutions: integrate renewable energy sources with traditional fuels and storage solutions, delivering flexible, sustainable power suitable for early-stage start-up, plant expansions, camps, construction activities, or turnaround support. These oil and gas solutions are designed to optimise safety, minimise environmental impact, and improve operational resilience.
- Remote Monitoring & Control: utilise our remote-control centre (RCC) for real-time oversight, proactive diagnostics, and management - maximising asset performance, minimising downtime, reducing operational costs, and more efficient operations.
Flexible oil and gas industry partnerships for long-term success
Every project is different, and so are its needs. That’s why we offer a variety of partnership models; from short-term rentals for quick, immediate solutions to long-term arrangements like BOOT, BOOM, and Power Purchase Agreements.
Our flexible partnership options include:
- Short-term rentals: perfect for immediate, temporary needs such as construction, testing, or unforeseen requirements.
- BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, Transfer): we design, construct, and operate the oil and gas solution for a set period, then transfer ownership to you, ideal for long-term infrastructure development.
- BOOM (Build, Own, Operate, Maintain): we build, own, and operate the plant, providing ongoing maintenance, giving you a hassle-free, reliable energy supply.
- Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): fixed-term contracts where we generate and sell energy directly to you, aligning revenue and power supply for predictable costs.
Our approach ensures your oil and gas project benefits from a customised, reliable partnership that evolves with your operational and strategic needs.

- Developing our own controls for equipment, providing bespoke and sophisticated operating capabilities that optimise our solutions to the highest level.
- Utilising the Aggreko Remote Control Centre to maximize efficiency and minimize costs. This includes 24/7 monitoring, allowing for rapid emergency response and proactive maintenance, ensuring that our equipment remains operational in challenging conditions.
- Leveraging Aggreko Insights to analyse hire solution data, enabling customers to quickly and easily identify cleaner and more efficient power solutions. This data-driven approach helps us maintain high reliability even in the most demanding environments.
Yes, we offer low-emission and renewable energy options. Our Ultra-Low Emissions Package is designed for temporary power generation, delivering world-leading emissions reduction by cleaning up to 99% of all controlled emissions. We assist oil and gas companies in achieving their net zero targets using cleaner and greener fuels, such as natural gas.
Our hybrid power plants combine the benefits of renewable energy sources like wind, hydro, and solar with battery storage and the reliability of thermal generators. This hybrid solution ensures dependable energy, reduces costs, and minimises carbon footprint, all while being quickly deliverable and bundled into a single contract. The innovative plants provide efficient and reliable power, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
As service providers to oil and gas industry, our cost structure for power solutions is designed with flexibility to accommodate various financing needs and commercial arrangements. We provide several options to suit different project requirements and financial preferences, including:
- Energy as a Service (EaaS)- similar to a PPA offering the most flexible tailored contract terms such as shorter duration, convenient payment terms, the ability to evolve and introduce new power technologies over the duration of the contract. We’ll guarantee performance, power availability, heat rate, fuel efficiency as well as your technology evolution. And ultimately, give you complete peace of mind with predictable consistent power pricing.
- IPP / PPA Agreements - we can also offer our energy services as Independent Power Purchase (IPP) or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) style arrangements where we also incorporate obtaining land, permitting, fuel supply or virtual fuel supply for longer project durations such as +5 years. Unlike a traditional PPA, our truly flexible agreement removes the risk of being locked in should your mine need to terminate early as a result of hardship, or market conditions change.
- Power asset ownership - we also offer the BOOM (Build, own, operate and maintain) and BOOT (Build, own, operate & transfer) model where the power assets remain the property of Aggreko and we operate / maintain them for you for an agreed period of time, after which it is sold to our customer– sometimes an ‘option’ and sometimes pre-agreed to take place at the end of the contract for agreed price.
