Temporary power solutions for remote geothermal projects
Reliable off-grid power supply for geothermal operations
We provide on-demand power energy solutions to keep geothermal developments running smoothly.
Geothermal energy offers a constant and renewable source of energy. However, the process of extracting and using this on-demand geothermal electricity presents enormous challenges for operators.
Many geothermal sites are located in remote areas, where grid power is either unavailable or unreliable. Operators need dependable temporary energy and cooling solutions for drilling, commissioning, and plant construction.
Aggreko provides tailored, scalable energy and HVAC equipment – from low-emission generators and hybrid grid emulation to industrial cooling solutions – to support every stage of geothermal development, helping operators align with environmental commitments and meet their project timelines.
Partnering with Aggreko gives you:
- Reliable temporary energy for geothermal drilling, commissioning, and ongoing plant operations.
- Customizable energy solutions that help meet sustainability goals and scale with your project needs.
- Advanced cooling solutions to maintain operational stability.
- Fast deployment and 24/7 expert support for uninterrupted project progress.

- Our Tier 4 Final and gas generator solutions are designed to support critical energy needs, providing backup power for large geothermal plants to prevent downtime and maintain production to keep projects on schedule and within budget.
- Our scalable cooling solutions for geothermal operations, including heat exchangers and fin/fan coolers, help regulate temperatures effectively for maximum efficiency, while keeping equipment running even in the most challenging remote locations.
- Our grid emulation solutions for geothermal power plants integrate battery storage and electrical distribution solutions – including transformers, panels, and switchgear – to provide on-demand energy for geothermal drilling operations. Offering peak energy management across widely varying loads, our rightsized solutions help reduce fuel consumption and emissions for optimal efficiency.
Aggreko’s Greener Approach: Supporting sustainable geothermal development
As companies transition towards sustainable energy, Aggreko’s Greener Upgrades initiative allows geothermal operators to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising on performance, efficiency, or reliability.
Unlike other renewables, geothermal energy is not weather-dependent, making it a highly sustainable source. But many geothermal operations still need temporary energy during drilling, commissioning, and early-stage production – often with a highly varying load profile.
Aggreko provides low-emission and hybrid energy solutions for geothermal projects, supporting companies during their energy transition to help meet environmental regulations.
Key sustainable solutions include:
Hybrid grid emulation solutions to optimize energy use, lower emissions, and improve fuel efficiency.
Tier 4 Final generators, capable of reducing NOx emissions by up to 90% while providing reliable, high-output energy.
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) that reduce emissions during low load periods, minimizing fuel consumption, costs, and transportation.
