Fully customizable mobile energy substation solutions
Our turnkey mobile substation solutions bring together all the equipment you need on a single trailer. From generators to switchgear, transformers, and batteries, it’s all in one place – on a fully mobile, trailerized solution with variable energy and redundancies built in.
We’ll provide temporary, reliable energy so you can focus on your business and production goals. Safe in the knowledge that your energy provision is in expert hands.
We also adapt our solutions to suit your unique applications - our expert team is ready to help.
Effortlessly scalable
Mobile substations are installed on a single trailer or over several units, thanks to their modular design.
Each unit works independently, making it easier to scale your energy capacity up or down as needed.
Completely flexible
Each substation will contain a unique combination of key components, including:
- HV/MV switchgear
- Energy transformers
- Protection and control panels
- Auxiliary AC and DC services
- HV/MC cable
- Reels and system control equipment
Guaranteed safe and reliable
Each mobile substation is assembled and tested at our factory, ensuring that it can be energized as soon as it arrives at your operational location.
Mobile energy substation applications
We support customers across multiple industries with mobile substations for a variety of critical applications.
Temporary energy
Delivering reliable energy for projects including construction, mining, and infrastructure, bridging the gap when grid energy is unavailable. Our mobile units can be moved along with your construction progress, providing energy wherever it’s needed.
Emergencies
We’ll support you with an emergency mobile substation to keep things moving during equipment failures, unplanned maintenance, and even natural disasters that knock out your energy, restoring energy to critical affected areas while your permanent substations are being repaired.
Remote locations
Including solutions that support the integration of renewable sources, onshore and offshore and along pipeline routes.
Events
Where large-scale energy is required without the need to invest capital or develop new infrastructure.

FAQs about Aggreko’s mobile substation rental solutions
A substation is primarily responsible for enabling electricity to be transmitted. This involves changing voltages and distributing energy to and from the grid. A mobile substation is a complete, trailer-mounted substation that can be rapidly deployed to wherever it’s required.
Mobile substations are used across multiple industries, but primarily in oil & gas and utilities.
In oil and gas, you may need a substation that uses grid energy or generators if projects are occurring in remote locations with no mainline utilities. In the utilities sector, you can use mobile substations while maintenance is being conducted on primary substations, as well as to deal with emergencies and disasters.
A typical mobile substation solution will include transformers, switchgear, metering equipment, surge arresters, and distribution panels. Our mobile substations can also include generators and battery storage, enabling new ways to use energy more efficiently and flexibly.
