Event Power

What Event Power does

Event Power Ltd. is an Irish specialist in temporary electrical distribution systems and installations, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Thurles, Co. Tipperary with a registered office in Portlaoise. The company provides complete on-site electrical infrastructure for live events and industrial projects across Ireland, ranging from marquee weddings to large-scale stadium and open-air concerts. Its equipment portfolio includes super-silent mobile road-tow generator sets, electrical distribution equipment spanning 13 Amp to 2000 Amp configurations, indoor and outdoor lighting systems, and cable ramps/protectors for site safety. All work is delivered by qualified engineers with RECI (Registered Electrical Contractors of Ireland) certification, providing regulatory-compliant installation alongside technical advice and assistance.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model, with revenue generated through event-by-event quotations rather than disclosed standard pricing. Customer acquisition is direct, driven by a simple website (eventpower.ie), phone, and email contact, supplemented by an established 30+ year reputation and a marquee project portfolio that includes Lansdowne Road Stadium, Phoenix Park Dublin, Slane Castle, Punchestown Racecourse, Special Olympics Ireland, the St. Patrick's Day Festival, Heineken Green Energy Festival, and the Irish Open Golf Classic. Distribution is exclusively direct on-site service within Ireland; no resellers or international channels are used. On April 23, 2026, Event Power was acquired by CES Power (backed by private equity firm Allied Industrial Partners) as part of a three-company transaction that made CES Power the largest power fleet operator in the UK and Ireland. Event Power now operates as a subsidiary within that platform.
