MEGAWATT MILESTONE ACHIEVED
Rugby-based energy storage specialists, Hybrid Power Hire, has attained a significant landmark, in having 30MWh of energy storage on hire six months ahead of its targeted growth plan. The company calculates that it now has the largest rental fleet for energy storage in Europe, in terms of capacity and by the number of assets. Hybrid Power Hire operates re-rent services of energy storage
systems used across the construction, events and utilities sectors working with or, in some cases totally displacing, diesel generation. The hybrid technology used has significant impact, in reducing emissions, carbon footprint and noise, as well as saving costs by reducing fuel consumption. Danny Jones, technical director, said: “The unexpected and
significant increase in demand from the EV charging sector has accelerated growth. The looming introduction of Stage V emissions standards and the announcement that the UK’s red diesel derogation is to go in 2022, has set the conditions for even faster growth in our sector, right across the EU, than could have been anticipated
Family businesses in three-way deal
Three of the industry’s most recognised family businesses have collaborated on a post lockdown deal that aims to drive safety standards, reduce risk and improve efficiencies on site. Suffolk-based Breheny Civil Engineering Ltd has been building
Britain’s Infrastructure for more than 55 years. Meanwhile, Essex-based Ernest Doe began trading in 1898, and has been supplying the construction sector since the late 1950s. No arrivistes either, Thwaites began production at its Warwickshire
base in 1937, a mere 83 years ago. The deal for 15 cabbed 9-tonne forward-tip dumpers was delivered
by Ernest Doe in August 2020, and will be heading out to major infrastructure projects across the Breheny operating area. Breheny Plant Operations Manager Andrew Dobrucki said: “Thwaites
dumpers have been an integral part of the Breheny plant fleet from the very early years on site. We are committed to achieving the highest possible standards, so much so, we invited Thwaites to provide demonstration models of their 9-tonne cabbed dumper to our infrastructure project at Beaulieu Park, Chelmsford”. While Ernest Doe Area
Sales Manager Nigel Booley added: “I was delighted to conclude this deal with Breheny. Firstly, because it is a significant indicator of the confidence within the industry, post COVID-19, and secondly, given the competitive landscape and interest in this opportunity.”

just two years ago”. In light of
this recent achievement, the company has revised its growth plans to double the number of units added to the fleet each month and, together with sister company Off Grid Energy, is preparing to move to new 30,000 sq ft premises to accommodate its expansion plans. The expectation is to exceed 60MWh in the fleet by the end of 2021.
