The Challenge
Seamless temporary power during a utility upgrade
The customer, a bourbon distillery, was faced with a power outage for one week while its utility provider carried out a substation upgrade. This is a large distillery with 300 employees and numerous buildings spread across a wide area.
With no power for the duration of the substation upgrade, production would have to be halted completely, causing significant financial losses. To avoid this, the customer asked Aggreko to provide reliable, temporary power that would allow them to continue production at normal rates.
They were initially looking at renting a large number of generators to fulfill all their power needs, but this would have come at a considerable cost. Aggreko was able to find a way to consolidate the equipment required to reduce the overall spend.
