New generators for St Andrews Stadium - home of Birmingham City Football Club
Birmingham City Football Club had been seeking a temporary power solution to run all of its LED advertising boards and screens within St Andrew’s stadium. Increased power was required during match days and due to the high profile nature of the matches, associated sponsorship and TV exposure, it was absolutely critical that power is not lost at any time, reports the club, reports WIP.
and Birmingham City Football Club. Some could even argue it was A-Plant which has undoubtedly contributed to the team’s third straight win under new manager Garry Monk. A-Plant initially supplied two

x 275kVA Generators, plus cabling, distribution and fuel, to power the LED display boards. The generators were synched together to allow one to take the load and the other to provide back-up power if required at any time. For the 2017/2018 football season, A-Plant’s specialist power division Mather+Stuart Power Solutions secured the contract to supply the temporary power for St Andrews. For the new contract, Mather + Stuart

“Mather+Stuart Power Solutions understood our requirements and set up the power solution with expertise and efficiency.” - Steve Pain, Operations Director
Power Solutions provided two of the latest specification 250kVA JCB synchronised Generators which incorporate the latest JCB Livelink telematics technology. The new generators allow online real-time monitoring and management of fuel consumption, performance statistics & servicing schedules, plus geo-fencing of the units. Birmingham City Football Club is said to be ‘absolutely
delighted’ with the performance of the generators which have ensured an interrupted power supply during all matches and provided multiple other benefits including significant fuel savings and reduced carbon emissions. As the Generators are fully-
synchronised: in the event of a service or scheduled routine maintenance interval, one generator takes over full operation. In the highly unlikely event of
a failure, the functioning generator automatically senses and takes over the load. Steve Pain, Operations
Director, Birmingham City Football Club, told WIP: “Due to the increase in power demand on match days we needed additional and importantly reliable power to

Mather+Stuart Power Solutions understood our requirements and set up the power solution with expertise and efficiency.”
