Western Power Distribution awards 3 Year contract
September 17th 2010
Power Electrics Generators, the UK's leading independent supplier of specialist generators has signed a three year sole supplier agreement with Western Power Distribution (WPD). Power Electrics will supply a range of rental generators and equipment which includes static sets from 15kVA to 500kVA which can be lifted with crane, containerised sets (750kVA – 2000kVA) on artic trailers and mobile sets (15kVA – 100kVA)as well as providing a complete 24 hour call out service.The agreement also includes a contract to service and maintain WPD’s own mobile generator fleet.
WPD is the electricity distribution network operator for South West England and South and West Wales and delivers electricity to 2.5 million customers over a 26,000 sq kms service area. Its network consists of 83,000 kms of overhead lines and underground cables, and 90,000 substations.
“Power Electrics has an excellent working relationship with WPD and can always be relied upon to act quickly” said Mark Shaw WPD’s Distribution Manager. Until recently PE deployed all generators to WPD from their HQ in Bristol. With the opening of the Bridgend depot 4 years ago the coverage has extended into the heart of South Wales.
Bespoke in-house transport guarantees fast response when emergencies arise across the whole of the WPD network. This was one of the key factors influencing the award of this contract.
Steve Williams Rental Sales Manager commented: “We are delighted to have secured WPD’s work in the West country. Adding the South Wales region to the generator rental contract is a major achievement.”
