The locations where solar and wind farms are built are chosen deliberately for their setting: open terrain, abundant sun or wind, far from urban infrastructure. That makes them ideal for energy generation, but difficult to construct. There is no grid connection, distances are large and construction periods can run long.
Site containers, electric machinery big and small, charging points, measurement equipment, mobile camera security systems and lighting: all of it needs power, from day one of construction through to commissioning of the park. And that on a site that is, by definition, not yet connected to the grid.
The default solution is still too often a diesel generator. But that sits particularly uncomfortably in this industry. A contractor building a renewable energy park while running it on diesel exposes themselves to criticism from clients, permitting authorities and local residents. On top of that, emission requirements in renewables tenders are becoming stricter.
The construction site of a sustainable energy park deserves a sustainable mobile energy solution.
