Expert support for Renewable Energy Projects
We partner with renewable energy plant owners, operators, developers, and independent/renewable energy producers to bring and keep assets online in a way that’s efficient, sustainable, and impactful.
Commissioning and running utility-scale and distributed renewable energy projects is a complex process with high stakes. Delays from weather, supply chain disruption, and site access issues are serious risks. Even during operations, maintenance is a perpetual challenge and downtime is unacceptable.
With extensive experience in renewable energy and a comprehensive range of commissioning, testing, and temporary energy equipment, we help keep renewable projects on track with modular, scalable microgrids. So you can:
- Optimize and accelerate your project delivery timelines
- Reduce your risk of costly delays and get online on time – knowing your project is ready to go before your Commercial Operation Date (COD) arrives
- Maintain continuity even when equipment fails or needs maintenance
Aggreko’s difference: Trusted by the world’s largest developers, operators, and owners
We’ve been involved in some of the world’s most complex renewable energy projects, providing commissioning and maintenance support, including auxiliary energy for battery farms.

Turnkey services for renewable energy
Our unique expertise in demanding renewable energy projects means we can provide targeted support for every project, on any scale.
Effective solutions across the renewable energy lifecycle
- Grid emulation for testing and commissioning, using generators, load banks, transformers, and load control panels to create a temporary grid. Equipped with automatic load control to improve efficiency, our grid emulation solutions reduce the need for monitoring. Consider us your grid emulation experts, helping you overcome delays in grid availability and overcome supply chain, construction, and COD milestone challenges. Test your assets and measure the reactive energy generated to validate performance before you go online. As a result, you can reduce the risk of unexpected issues and be ready to sell energy from day one.
- Energy for emergencies and maintenance, so you can keep your renewable energy project running when your primary equipment needs to go offline. We’ll work with you to rightsize the energy you need, deploy it fast, and monitor it continuously.
- 24/7 continuous auxiliary energy and cooling for battery farms, so you can store batteries at their optimal temperature to safeguard reliability and performance and protect your warranty. We’ll engineer a distributed design that intelligently keeps air conditioning and control computers running.
Aggreko’s greener approach: Cleaner fuels and quieter generators
At Aggreko, we share your commitment to a more sustainable future. That’s why we’ve developed a range of generators that run on natural gas, biodiesel, and non-standard gases, driving down emissions.
When we design your turnkey solution, we’ll find the ideal balance between performance and sustainability so you can:
- Reduce harmful emissions (CO2, CO, NOx, PM)
- Reduce noise pollution
- Reduce fuel consumption and associated costs
- Ensure reliability and efficiency

FAQs about Aggreko’s support for renewable energy projects
Grid emulation is the method we use to deliver a temporary grid that can support renewable energy projects in their testing and commissioning phase. Where utility grid energy is unavailable, we design turnkey temporary grids that can push energy into renewable equipment for testing, or receive energy to validate performance.
This approach allows developers and operators to test performance earlier in the process, resolve issues sooner, and switch on with confidence from day one.
With extensive experience gathered during some of the world’s largest renewable energy projects, we help independent renewable energy producers navigate complex projects. We help mitigate the risk of supply chain delays, fuel delays, connection delays, and insufficient energy for commissioning and testing.
We help contractors conduct commissioning and testing by providing generators, load banks, and micro grids before grid connectivity is available. This enables a more flexible approach to testing, so providers can start selling energy with confidence from day one and meet their project timelines.
