The Challenge

Quiet temporary power for rural grid upgrade
Counties Energy has made commitments to decarbonisation and is making progress in reducing emissions across its operations through initiatives like adopting electric vehicles (EVs) and expanding EV charging infrastructure. The company is also starting to focus on initiatives to reduce emissions across its supply chain, including during grid maintenance and upgrades.

When Counties Energy set out to upgrade the rural powerline on Hillsview Road in the Auckland region to meet the area’s growing energy demands, they needed a solution that aligned with their sustainability goals. With a strong history of collaboration, they once again turned to Aggreko for a quieter, low-emission power solution. Leveraging our expertise in temporary power and hybrid solutions, we helped them minimise environmental impact while ensuring minimal disruption to the community during the upgrade process.
