Complex BESS projects need more than temporary power. They need expertise and partnership. Aggreko combines specialist HV expertise with temporary power solutions, working alongside EPCs, contractors and commissioning teams to support projects from planning through to commissioning. From cold commissioning and system testing to hot commissioning, energisation and load simulation, our teams work as an extension of the project team to deliver the right solution. At Coalburn 1, our HV specialists delivered a 5 MW HV load bank and 5 MW generator package at 33 kV to support commissioning of the 500 MW BESS. HV expertise. Temporary power. One team.

Can temporary commissioning power also support lower-emission project goals? For utility-scale BESS projects, commissioning can require significant temporary power, often before permanent grid infrastructure is available. Aggreko combines temporary generation, high-voltage load banks and lower-emission technologies to create solutions designed around the requirements of complex energy projects. At Coalburn 1, the commissioning package included low emission Stage V generation running on hydrotreated vegetable oil biofuel, alongside a HV transformer and load bank, helping deliver reliable power and load simulation while supporting the project's sustainability requirements.

How can temporary power support the commissioning of utility-scale BESS projects? Commissioning a large-scale battery installation requires more than simply connecting to a power source. Systems need to be tested. Electrical loads need to be simulated. Controls and equipment need to be validated under representative operating conditions. A temporary power and load bank solution can provide the controlled environment needed for these critical activities. At Coalburn 1, Aggreko delivered: - 5 MW HV load bank - 5 MW generator package at 33 kV - 150 kVA LV generator - HV/LV cabling and ancillary equipment - On-site installation, commissioning and engineering support The result was precise load simulation and reliable power throughout the commissioning phase of the 500 MW BESS.

What happens when a utility-scale BESS is ready for commissioning, but permanent grid power isn't? Temporary power can provide a bridge. For battery energy storage projects, reliable temporary power can support critical cold and hot commissioning activities, such as system testing and load simulation. It can help project teams: - Progress commissioning before permanent grid connection - Simulate electrical loads under controlled conditions - Maintain flexibility across different commissioning phases - Reduce the risk of delays caused by grid availability At Coalburn 1, a 500 MW BESS in Scotland, Aggreko provided a bespoke 5 MW HV load bank and 5 MW generator package at 33 kV to support commissioning and simulate real-world electrical loads.

Eastern Europe is facing a major grid dilemma. Renewable energy deployment is accelerating, yet ageing infrastructure and lengthy connection queues are struggling to keep pace. In my latest article, I explore the scale of the challenge and why grid constraints risk slowing the energy transition. Over the coming months, I'll be taking a closer look at the causes of disruption and the practical solutions that can help unlock capacity and keep projects moving. 👉 In the meantime, we're hosting an open day at our new service and repair centre on 14 October.
