Case Study: a leading global colocation company secures temporary data centre power with Aggreko gas generators and battery storage

Leading Global Colocation Company - Customer Case Study

A leading global colocation company faced a significant challenge when the development of a data centre in Dublin was at risk due to a multi-year delay in securing a permanent grid connection. The customer needed a reliable, temporary power solution that could be deployed rapidly to meet strict data centre tier requirements and stringent EU environmental standards. They engaged Aggreko to provide a bridging power supply using next generation gas generators.

Aggreko installed, commissioned, and managed a 14 MW power plant featuring next generation gas generators and a 1 MW lithium-ion battery storage system. This solution provided the data centre with a fully independent, cost-effective, and environmentally compliant power source that was operational within 12 weeks. The deployment by Aggreko allowed the customer to avoid the lengthy grid connection delay and proceed with their project timeline, all while benefiting from 24/7 on-site support and reduced emissions.
