Global energy solutions supplier Aggreko has secured a multi-year contract as the primary power provider for the new Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk, England.

A landmark infrastructure project set to play a crucial role in the UK’s energy future, Sizewell C is set to deliver low-carbon, reliable electricity to millions of homes and business. Situated on the Suffolk coast, the power station underscores the UK’s commitment to sustainable energy and energy security.

As a tier 1 supplier for the project, Aggreko will provide a low-emission, low-noise multi-megawatt power package for the construction of Sizewell C. This includes Stage V generators incorporating battery energy storage system (BESS) technologies, with Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM) transmitting real-time data to ensure optimum equipment performance. 

Asset management and data-driven reporting will also be available via Aggreko Connect, throughout the project’s lifetime.  These performance metrics translate into operational and emissions reporting, providing the team at Sizewell C with actionable insights that drive greater efficiency.

“Aggreko’s selection as the primary power provider for Sizewell C highlights our deep expertise and proven track record in large-scale infrastructure projects,” says Alan Dunne, Managing Director UK and Ireland at Aggreko. “We are excited to support this initiative with our Greener Upgrades technologies — including Stage V generators, BESS, and the use of Aggreko-supplied hydrotreated vegetable oil fuel — all aimed at reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainability.

“This partnership not only reinforces Aggreko’s leadership in innovative power solutions but also aligns with our commitment in driving the energy transition through cleaner, more efficient technologies.”

“Aggreko is highly committed to a more resilient, affordable and greener energy future,” says Alan. “Our continued investment in more sustainable energy generation technologies through the Greener Upgrades initiative shows this dedication in action.

“We are proud to deploy these low-emissions technologies at scale to power the construction of Sizewell C, building a power station that will supply millions of homes and businesses with low-carbon energy.”

Claudia Elliott, Strategic Sourcing Lead, Sizewell C commented “Aggreko demonstrated a great understanding of our project requirements, scoring high across key criteria such as execution, contracts and social value. They have aligned themselves well to the strategic commitments of Sizewell C – including the reduction in GHG emissions and contributing to local spend within the Suffolk region.”
