GH Energy Rental

What GH Energy Rental does

GH Energy Rental Ltd is an Ireland-based temporary power solutions provider operating from a single depot in The Ward, Co. Dublin, and serving industrial, commercial, and construction clients nationwide. The company's core offering is the rental of power generation equipment spanning portable 2.6kVA petrol units through industrial 1000kVA diesel generators, supplemented by ultra-silent "Whisper" generators (20–300kVA, with noise levels as low as 53 dB(A) at 7m) for noise-sensitive environments such as events and broadcast, road-towable lighting towers, and temporary power distribution equipment. The company has also introduced Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), including the Horizon-36 product line, which feature advanced EMS touch-screen control, GSM remote monitoring, and single-to-three-phase conversion capabilities for grid stability and peak demand management.

The business operates a usage-based rental model with custom quote-based pricing rather than fixed rate cards. Revenue is generated through daily, weekly, and monthly rental periods, supplemented by recurring service streams including equipment servicing, fuel management, heating and drying, and loadbanking (load testing). The go-to-market is sales-led with direct enterprise engagement supplemented by a self-serve quote request portal on generatorhire.ie. Named customers include Cairn Homes, Glenveagh Homes, Glenbrier Construction, and Castlebrowne, indicating a meaningful weighting toward construction and infrastructure projects, with secondary exposure to events and commercial backup power. The company operates a remote monitoring layer for fleet status but does not disclose AI-driven analytics or predictive maintenance.

As of April 23, 2026, GH Energy Rental was acquired by CES Power alongside Event Power and Purecore, making the combined group the largest power fleet in the UK and Ireland. CES Power is backed by private equity firm Allied Industrial Partners. The acquisition repositions GH Energy Rental as the Irish platform within a pan-regional operator, enabling multi-site project delivery for international clients across multiple territories.
