What Aggreko does
Aggreko designs, deploys, and operates engineered energy and temperature control solutions for industrial, commercial, and event customers worldwide. Founded in 1962 in Glasgow, Scotland, the company combines gas and Tier 4 Final diesel generators, battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar PV, and temperature control assets into modular microgrid and behind-the-meter hybrid systems. These integrated solutions target customers whose electricity needs cannot be met by the local grid — including remote mining operations (e.g., Harmony Gold's Eva Copper Mine), AI and HPC data centers, oil and gas facilities, manufacturers, construction sites, and large-scale events such as Formula 1. The Greener Upgrades range (solar PV hybrid systems with BESS and HVO-fuelled Stage V generators) extends the platform into lower-carbon temporary and permanent power, with hybrid systems delivering 40-60% diesel reduction and levelized costs of USD 0.18-0.35/kWh versus USD 0.35-0.70/kWh for diesel-only generation.
The company operates a fleet-based, asset-heavy business model that monetizes power through three primary streams: usage-based generator rental, long-term subscription-style Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs, e.g., 15 years at Eva Copper), and Microgrid-as-a-Service contracts, complemented by temperature control and oil-free air solutions. Aggreko sells and deploys directly through enterprise field sales, government engagement (Maharashtra, Amazonas state), and high-visibility event partnerships (a 7-year Formula 1 contract). Following five acquisitions between 2024 and 2026 — RenEnergy Group, Resalta, Infiniti Energy, Krill Generadores, and Mobil in Time — the platform now spans solar distributed generation, energy efficiency, generator rental in Iberia, and HVAC, with a new ₹400 crore global engineering and manufacturing centre under development in Pune, India. Currently owned by TDR Capital and I Squared Capital and preparing a US IPO at a potential $12-15 billion valuation, Aggreko operates across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, Latin America, and South Asia with 5,001-10,000 employees.
