POWER AT
SCALE.
ENGINEERED.
500 kVA, 1 MVA and multi-megawatt generator packages—designed, installed and supported as complete temporary power systems.

ONE SYSTEM.
EVERY INTERFACE.
Large-scale power is a systems-engineering project, not an equipment drop.
We coordinate generation, synchronisation, transformers, protection, distribution, fuel and controls around the load profile and site programme. Access, lifting, cable routes, earthing, changeover and testing are considered before mobilisation.

DESIGNED FOR
WHAT CAN'T STOP.
Large packages can be configured around duty/standby generation, N+1 capacity, modular load sharing and planned maintenance. The correct architecture depends on what happens if any single component becomes unavailable.

Large generator hire FAQs
LARGE POWER,
MADE CLEAR.
What counts as a large generator?+
For this service we focus on projects around 500 kVA and above, including individual 1 MVA-class modules and synchronised multi-generator packages delivering several megawatts.
Can multiple generators run in parallel?+
Yes. Parallel packages can share load, add capacity in modular steps and provide N+1 resilience. The control, protection and connection arrangement is engineered around the application.
Can you supply transformers and high-capacity distribution?+
Yes. Large temporary systems can include transformers, switchgear, distribution boards, cabling, protection, load banks, fuel systems and monitoring as one coordinated package.
How do you size a multi-megawatt package?+
We review running and starting loads, power factor, harmonics, diversity, step loading, future demand, supply voltage and resilience. Confirmed equipment is based on an engineered load schedule rather than a headline total alone.
Can you provide fuel management for long-term hire?+
Yes. We can plan bulk tanks, transfer arrangements, telemetry, consumption monitoring and scheduled deliveries around the site operating plan and access controls.
