Decommissioning done right: Temporary power solutions for a safer, cleaner exit

As Europe accelerates toward decarbonisation and asset retirement, oil and gas operators face mounting pressure to decommission responsibly, safely and economically. From late-life production to plug and abandonment (P&A), managing power and temperature needs during this phase is crucial to controlling costs and minimising environmental impact. At Aggreko, we provide temporary power and HVAC solutions tailored to meet these challenges.

Decommissioning is a complex, multi-phase process with high financial and environmental stakes. Fixed infrastructure is often outdated or unsuitable for reduced operational demand, and shutting down facilities can bring new risks:

• Grid disconnection or limited access to reliable power
• Asset degradation during idle periods (especially offshore)
• High recommissioning costs if assets are reactivated later

Without proper planning, operators may face extended downtime, non-compliance penalties, or unexpected repair costs.
 

Aggreko delivers modular, mobile power and temperature control solutions designed to adapt to your decommissioning timeline and technical constraints. 
Our services include:

• Cold stacking: Preserve rig assets with dehumidification and HVAC systems that prevent corrosion and equipment degradation.
• Temporary power: Maintain essential systems and lighting using generators compliant with EU and offshore safety standards.
• Load banks and testing: Support final commissioning, integrity testing and emergency power validation.
• Remote monitoring: Optimise fuel usage and reduce technician visits with real-time diagnostics and alerts.
