Case Study: General Dynamics Electric Boat saves millions on USS Hartford overhaul with Aggreko power solutions

Providing optimized, engineered power solutions for USS Hartford, nuclear submarine overhaul

General Dynamics Electric Boat faced a significant challenge while overhauling the USS Hartford nuclear submarine. They needed a power solution for the multi-year project but had limited space and found that using numerous traditional diesel generators would be inefficient and extremely costly. Aggreko was brought in to provide an alternative.

Aggreko engineered a solution that utilized specialty 2,500 V transformers to step down the site's existing high-voltage power instead of relying on diesel generators. This approach saved the customer millions of dollars in rental and fuel costs, minimized their environmental footprint, and effectively solved the space constraint. The Aggreko technical team's performance was commended by the customer, and the successful project led to several additional jobs.
