Falcon Power Generation

What Falcon Power Generation does

Falcon Power Generation is a UK-based temporary power solutions provider operating as a trading title of Falcon Tower Crane Services Ltd and part of the broader Falcon Group. The company supplies, hires, and services diesel generators ranging from 20kVA to 1250kVA from four UK depot locations (Swinton/Manchester, Dunstable/Bedfordshire, Newport/South Wales, Shipdham/Norfolk), with a Scotland presence and nationwide delivery via crane-mounted trucks. Its fleet of over 400 generators is Stage IIIA compliant with active Stage V development alongside JCB, supplemented by 250+ bunded fuel tanks (250–3,000L) with integrated telemetry and automated reordering, and ancillary electrical distribution equipment.

The product portfolio has expanded well beyond diesel sets into hybrid and battery-based systems: Dumarey Flybrid flywheel energy storage for peak-load shaving on tower cranes, Northvolt Voltpack mobile battery systems (281–1,405kWh) for zero-emission power, Dumarey Revolution high-power BESS, and HVO fuel offering CO2 reductions of up to 90%. Falcon serves three primary verticals — construction (its anchor segment via sister company integration with Falcon Tower Crane Services), events and entertainment (festivals, concerts, autoshows), and TV/film production — with backup/emergency power for data centers and industrial facilities as a secondary use case.

The business model is sales-led and project-based, with quote-based pricing not publicly disclosed, recurring rental contracts as the primary revenue stream, complemented by equipment sales, fuel management subscriptions, telemetry services, and on-site maintenance. Distribution is direct B2B to enterprise customers across the UK, with industry events (e.g., Royal Norfolk Show 2024) and digital channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube) supporting lead generation. The company is privately held, has no disclosed institutional investment, and employs 251–500 people.

Broad incumbents

• Caterpillar: Global OEM of diesel and gas generator sets with a Cat Rental network. Comparable as a power equipment incumbent serving industrial and construction customers, though primarily a manufacturer with selective rental.
• Cummins: Global power generation OEM producing diesel generators and energy storage systems. Comparable as a major incumbent in the equipment category Falcon rents, though operates upstream as a manufacturer.
• Sunbelt Rentals: UK arm of Ashtead Group, offering broad equipment rental including generators alongside plant, tools, and access equipment. Larger portfolio scale makes it a broader incumbent rather than a pure generator specialist.
• Ashtead Group: FTSE 100 parent company of Sunbelt Rentals in the UK and North America. Comparable as a major equipment rental platform with overlapping customer base, though broader in scope than Falcon's power-focused offering.

Direct peers

• Speedy Hire: UK-listed tool and equipment rental company with a power generation category covering generators and temporary power distribution. Comparable as a UK B2B equipment rental peer with overlapping construction customer base.
• Power Electrics: UK-based generator hire specialist operating from Bristol with a multi-MW fleet serving construction, events, and industrial clients. Closely comparable in product mix and customer segments.
• Aggreko: Global leader in temporary power generation rental headquartered in Glasgow, UK. Directly comparable to Falcon in offering diesel and hybrid generator rental to construction, events, and industrial customers at scale.
• Energy Rental Solutions: UK generator rental company offering temporary and emergency power solutions to construction and events. Comparable mid-sized UK-focused generator rental competitor.
• Mather+Stuart: UK-based power solutions provider specialising in generator hire, sales, and servicing for construction, events, and standby applications. Direct UK generator rental competitor.
