I love the utility business. All of it. I’m fascinated by how electrons leave a power plant and travel wires and racks of equipment to charge the battery bank in the electric car sitting in my garage. I have solar panels on my roof charging those same batteries and I get a credit for that on my electric bill. Reading through the bill I see terms like Net Zero, Grid Modernization, Distributed Energy Resources, and renewables but do I really know what my utility provider is doing about them? Do I really understand why these things are important to me? My community? My global family and our continued access to reliable electric power?These pieces are just a fraction of what utility industry professionals and pioneers constantly measure to keep our lights on. They are daily focused on delivering low-emission, reliable energy at reasonable cost, and maintaining superior service with a strict focus on safety. That daily execution is layered upon the perpetual innovation expected of utility providers to modernize and evolve to continue providing safe, reliable, and cost-effective service well into the future. Those daily deliverables and long-term targets create heavy demand on an aging power grid that requires regular maintenance and upgrades. To stay within reliability metrics and maintain customer satisfaction, the team at Aggreko understands the need to keep planned outages to a minimum. Instead of taking an outage during scheduled maintenance, we supply temporary generation, high-voltage switch gear and transformers that sync with the grid to augment or replace power. For unexpected outages, our expertise and fast turnaround time gets you energized as quickly and as painlessly as possible.Instead of supplying off-the-shelf rental equipment we start a conversation about your needs and develop a strategy to meet those needs. We partner with you to engineer, deliver, install, monitor, and maintain the best solution for the job. At Aggreko our specialty is custom-designed power systems to meet specific customer needs, and we have built an impressive track record that spans the globe.Our electrical engineers and technicians are certified to work in the utilities industry, we know how to reduce outage days, keep customer interruptions to a minimum, and maintain a safe workplace for your team and ours.
