At the end of January, the National Electric System Operator (ONS) recorded four consecutive energy consumption records. The main reason for this high energy demand in the country was the well-known heatwave experienced at the beginning of the year, which led homes, businesses, and industries to intensify the use of air conditioning or fans to escape the high temperatures.
Although the electrical system is prepared for the demand, high energy consumption, combined with climatic factors such as heavy rains, increases the risk of supply interruptions by the utilities. And while this is an inconvenience for the average citizen, constant power outages cause even greater losses for industries and commerce.
Regardless of the sector, companies need to be prepared for power interruptions and outages, whether planned or not. One of the most effective solutions to prevent losses is still the hiring of temporary power.
That’s why we’ve listed six circumstances where generators can make the difference between a company’s success and loss. Check it out:
Preventing Unexpected Interruptions
Although Brazilian electric utilities are prepared to offer good services to the general population, unforeseen events happen. Therefore, having a generator to keep a business structure operational can be cheaper than bearing the losses of a halted production line or a closed shopping center.
Scheduled Maintenance Shutdown
Equipment replacement and upgrades, and production capacity expansion – these are just some of the reasons a utility may need to temporarily interrupt power supply. In these cases, using generators is the safest option to keep activities running.
Companies in Remote Areas
Generator rental is essential for companies located in regions where utilities have not yet reached. This is the case in the mining sector, for example, which benefits from temporary power from machinery operation to ventilation systems and emergency lighting, and in the oil and gas sector, especially for powering offshore platforms.
Consumption Peaks
Across the country, regardless of the utility, electricity rates are higher during peak hours. Hiring generators to supply power during these periods can reduce costs.
Event Planning
What would be the loss caused by a power outage during a major concert or a football classic? Having a power contingency – and the most viable is generator rental – for these events can mean the difference between success and a resounding failure (not only financially, but also in terms of brand and reputation).
Construction
The initial phase of a construction project is the most challenging regarding power supply. Often, power at construction sites is unstable or simply not feasible at the start of the work. So, to ensure that work proceeds without setbacks, generator rental and load banks are the best solution.
With over 12 years in the temporary power market, Tecnogera specializes in comprehensive temperature control solutions and has a highly specialized team. It operates nationwide and offers rental of power generators, load banks, transformers, chillers, substations, and all necessary accessories and services.
