Rapid response to storms

Contingency plans were put in place with contracted customers to ensure generators were available to be dispatched around the South West and South East. Power Electrics’ response times were reduced by the addition of Rapid Response Units within the rental fleet, a 500kVA generator built onto a lorry which is ready for instant dispatch. The rental fleet also includes generator sets mounted onto trailers which can be towed to areas which lorries may not be able to reach.

Daniel Slee, operations director at Power Electrics said "An unprecedented number of call outs over the Christmas and New Year period gave us a chance to demonstrate our expertise and scope of delivery. Extra drivers and engineers were brought in to ensure our customers received the power they required to fulfil their own Service Level Agreements.”
