(Andy Richardson – Chief Executive Officer)
Welcome to the latest edition of ‘Power Perspectives’ where our CEO, Andy Richardson, gives his thoughts on the importance of saving fuel through correctly specified temporary power needs on your projects:
Are you paying the price for an overpowered project?
When specifying temporary power for construction sites, events and infrastructure projects, it’s very common to play it safe and choose a bigger system than necessary. But bigger doesn’t mean better. In fact, overspecifying generators and battery systems lead to unnecessary costs, inefficient operation and wasted energy.
With global diesel supply pressures raising concerns about potential fuel rationing, using more fuel than necessary is becoming an increasingly difficult luxury to justify.
The question businesses should be asking isn’t simply whether they have ‘enough’ power, it’s whether they have the ‘right amount’ of power generation and battery storage to operate efficiently.
Across construction sites, events and other temporary power applications, generators are frequently specified to accommodate peak demands that may rarely occur. The result? Oversized generators operating inefficiently at low loads, consuming unnecessary diesel and increasing operating costs.
Even battery systems can be oversized when actual energy requirements aren’t properly understood. The smarter approach is to understand precisely how much power a site needs, when it needs it, and specify a hybrid system engineered around that demand.
At Power Saving Solutions, our Hussh Pod 30/45 battery system provides 45kWh of usable storage, making it a versatile solution for typical applications such as site cabins, welfare facilities and smaller temporary power requirements.
Combined with intelligent power management, battery storage can dramatically reduce generator runtime. Our customers are already achieving an average 53% reduction in fuel consumption, alongside a typical 30% lower total cost of ownership.
Reducing unnecessary fuel consumption isn’t just about lowering costs and carbon emissions. It’s about strengthening operational resilience when fuel availability becomes uncertain. Through correctly sized battery technology, intelligent energy management, real-time monitoring and nationwide engineering support, businesses can achieve greater efficiency without compromising the power their operations depend on.
If diesel becomes harder to obtain, making every litre go further will become a business-critical advantage.
