Power Electrics goes to the Races

Power Electrics Generators has recently won a three-year contract to supply the UK's largest racecourse group, Jockey Club Racecourses (JCR), with a selection of rental generators, electrical distribution, cables and tower lights. The agreement covers JCR's fourteen racecourses, including Aintree, Cheltenham, Newmarket and Epsom Downs, which host the likes of the John Smith's Grand National Meeting, Cheltenham Festival, Guineas Festival and the Investec Derby Festival.

The agreement includes the provision of fuel, engineering support and full site management and generators ranging from 15kVA - 1000kVA and a number of multiple synchronising 500kVA units.

Power Electrics was awarded the contract following a three month tendering process, which included liaison with the core technical management team and JCR's main venues.

Jockey Club Racecourses is part of The Jockey Club, which has been at the heart of British racing for more than 260 years and is today the largest commercial group in the sport. All of the The Jockey Clubs profits generated are reinvested back into racing.
