What Project Power does
Project Power Limited is a UK-based temporary power solutions provider operating from a ~40,000 sqft facility in Crumlin, South Wales (with mobile service teams in Newport and South East England). The company rents diesel and HVO-compatible Stage 3A and Stage 5 generators ranging from 10kVA to 1200kVA, battery energy storage systems (BESS) from 60kWh to 130kWh — including the BGG Enerpak system with PowerTronix inverter, claimed as a first UK stockist — together with fuel tanks, distribution boards, cabling, and accessories such as EchoBarrier noise barriers, loadbanks, and the PeakPower 200 Flybrid hybrid system. It complements equipment hire with in-house fuel management, project management, 24/7 emergency call-out, and its own HGV fleet including Hiab vehicles, positioning itself as a 360-degree turnkey provider rather than a pure equipment renter.
The company serves five verticals: construction, events (festivals, concerts, experiential events, private parties, venues), facilities management, film & TV production, and rehire to other rental companies. Its customer base exceeds 200 clients annually across the UK, with event work extending into Europe. The firm was originally founded as SWG Power (a specialist temporary electrical contractor for events) and was restructured and rebranded as Project Power in 2019 to broaden into construction, facilities, film & TV, and rehire markets.
Project Power is a privately held UK limited company (Company Reg: 08834154), founder/owner-operated with no disclosed parent or institutional equity base. Revenue is generated through usage-based equipment rental and project management services on quote-based pricing with 30-day net credit terms; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company describes itself as a true 24/7 reactive call-out provider with in-house engineering, logistics, and project management functions.

Project Power competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Aggreko: Global market leader in temporary power, temperature control and compressor rental. Directly comparable to Project Power in generator hire, BESS offerings and event/construction/industrial customer base, but at vastly larger scale and geographic reach.
- Crestchic: UK specialist in loadbank testing and temporary power solutions. Overlaps with Project Power on generator rental, distribution and cabling for events and industrial customers, particularly for commissioning and backup-power use cases.
- Power Electrics: UK-based specialist generator rental, sales and service company serving events, construction and industry. Closely comparable to Project Power in equipment range, customer verticals and 24/7 reactive service model.
Broad incumbents
- Speedy Hire: UK-listed equipment rental provider with extensive tool, plant and power fleets. Overlaps with Project Power on generator and BESS rental for construction and infrastructure clients, but operates a much broader generalist hire portfolio.
- Caterpillar Rental Power: OEM of large diesel and gas generator sets that also supplies through rental dealer networks. Comparable equipment to Project Power's 500kVA–1200kVA units, particularly for large industrial and utility-grade temporary power needs.
- Sunbelt Rentals: One of the largest equipment rental companies in the UK and globally. Competes in power generation hire alongside broader plant, tools and access equipment, but with a much larger fleet and national depot network than Project Power.
- Atlas Copco Power and Flow: Global manufacturer and renter of compressors, generators and power solutions. Overlaps with Project Power on mobile diesel generators and BESS offerings, but as part of a much larger industrial equipment portfolio.
- MHM Group: UK-based specialist equipment rental business covering power, accommodation, welfare and modular buildings. Overlaps with Project Power on temporary power rental for events, construction and infrastructure customers.
Regional players
- Trinity Power Rentals: Canadian temporary power rental specialist serving events, construction and industrial clients. Operates a similar turnkey generator + distribution + cabling model to Project Power, but across Canada rather than the UK.
Emerging players
- Energy Rental Solutions: North American specialist in temporary and mobile power generation and BESS rental. Comparable to Project Power's generator-plus-BESS hybrid model, but focused primarily on the US market.
