Generator hire
Hire generation and the complete temporary power installation — supplied, connected and, if you want, run by us.
VA-Energy hires generating sets for the periods when a permanent plant is not yet built, is out of service, or cannot meet a temporary peak: construction and early works, planned outages and overhauls, seasonal load and emergency cover.
We supply more than the set. Fuel tanks, cabling, synchronising panels and automatic transfer switches come as part of the installation, so the temporary plant is properly protected, properly synchronised and changes over cleanly when the mains or the permanent plant returns.
Hire can be equipment only, or fully managed — operated and maintained by VA-Energy teams 24/7, to the same standard and with the same records as a permanent powerhouse.
What it covers
- Hire generating sets, short term and long term
- Fuel tanks and site fuel distribution
- Cabling and distribution to the point of connection
- Synchronising panels — multiple sets running in parallel, or in parallel with the mains
- Automatic transfer switches for changeover between supplies
- Installation, commissioning and load testing
- Fully managed 24/7 operation and maintenance of hired plant, as an option
- Emergency and standby cover
Why VA-Energy
The hire fleet is backed by the engineers who build and run permanent plant. A rental set from us arrives with the switching, protection and synchronisation designed in — and can be manned around the clock if the load is critical.
