Empowering efficiency with smart electrical solutions, power optimization, and sustainable power systems
How Aggreko's electrical distribution solutions boost sustainability and cost savings
Sustainability and cost efficiency are increasingly important in industrial and commercial projects. Every day, businesses seek innovative ways to cut expenses while reducing their environmental footprint.
Traditionally, generators have been the reliable solution for on-site energy needs, especially in remote locations or during peak demand. However, while generators offer essential energy when the needed power isn't available, they also have considerations such as fuel costs and maintenance requirements.
When grid power is available, electrical distribution has emerged as a more efficient and sustainable alternative to address these challenges. This approach involves managing and directing electricity from the existing grid to various endpoints within a facility using pre-generated energy.
Electrical distribution is also a key component of Aggreko's Greener Power Packages, offering customers exceptional value, reliability, and flexibility. This solution supports businesses in their energy transition journey by optimizing energy use and reducing environmental impact.
In this blog, we'll explore how leveraging electrical distribution solutions can lead to significant cost savings, reduced emissions, and enhanced operational efficiency.
What are the benefits of electrical distribution?
- Flexible placement for space optimization – Another critical advantage of electrical distribution solutions is that they offer much more flexibility in terms of spatial planning. While traditional generators require significant space and often need to be located close to work areas, well-designed electrical distribution systems can be positioned in better locations to allow more optimized workspaces. This enhances workspace efficiency and safety by reducing the need for extensive equipment and cables near critical operations, minimizing the risk of accidents.
- Emissions reduction – With a growing number of environmental regulations in North America aimed at tackling climate change, environmental responsibility for businesses has never been more critical. That's where electrical distribution solutions come in. Electrical distribution draws energy directly from the grid, which means zero reliance on generators, fuel requirements, and diesel emissions. This helps companies meet their sustainability goals by lowering their carbon footprint and contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.
- Cost savings – While traditional generators require ongoing fuel purchases and regular maintenance, electrical distribution solutions leverage the existing grid when it's available, eliminating fuel costs and reducing the need for rotating equipment maintenance. At Aggreko, our rental electrical distribution solutions allow our customers to invest only in the necessary equipment – from individual components to the complete technology suite. This will enable businesses to optimize their costs by scaling their resources up or down depending on their project's requirements.
- Improved reliability – A reliable energy distribution system is one of the most important aspects of any project–especially for industries where energy outages can result in significant operational disruptions and financial losses. With electrical distribution, 100% of the electricity is sourced from the existing electrical grid, ensuring a more stable and consistent energy supply.
- Electrical system protection – Electrical distribution solutions include switchboards and circuit breakers to protect against energy surges and electrical faults. This protection is vital for safety, preventing outages, and avoiding equipment damage to ensure maximum uptime.
