Power Plants Support the Grid in Greece

Two locations on the Greek Island of Rhodes needed additional power to support the influx of summer tourists. During the busy season, power demand at this popular Mediterranean resort area surpassed the local grid capacity.

Power Plant Rental

Aggreko supplied 2 x 10 MW of power to support the grid during the three summer months. Both temporary power plants comprised generator sets along with step up transformers and associated HV switchgear. The temporary power plants operated in parallel with the grid and all generator sets operated in base load. The generator sets were fitted with electronic controllers and synchronising units. Synchronising was achieved both manually and fully automatically using Aggreko AT remote control panels.
