Managing Power Use Across Your Site

Date: 22/03/22

As energy prices sky-rocket, it has never been more important to reduce energy use on site, and Think Hire is the perfect partner to help you do just that. Our remote energy management systems will help you maximise efficiency and cut costs right across your operations. In fact, if you engage Think Hire as your complete energy provider, we GUARANTEE a cost saving, as well as many environmental benefits.

The perfect storm

Energy prices have spiked recently as three global factors have come together in the perfect storm to influence the energy markets. The impact of Covid and a worldwide energy crisis were already driving up prices at the start of 2022. Now the uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine has driven prices even higher. Add in the proposed changes in fuel duty, which ban the use of discounted red diesel on construction sites, and you have unprecedented pressure on the industry’s energy costs.

The National Federation of Builders recently described energy costs as ‘increasingly unaffordable’ and said that the price hikes were ‘putting businesses in jeopardy’. Yet with no obvious end to the geo-political problems that are driving prices ever upwards, it’s hard to see prices falling back any time soon. Which makes the case for solar powered generators and smart power management from Think Hire stronger than ever.

Maximise your savings

Think Hire offers state of the art solar powered generators that harness the free energy of the sun to power everything from site lighting to electric vehicles and plant. Our compact and convenient Solartainer can be deployed almost anywhere, from the busiest trackside rail project to the most remote, off-grid construction site. With the back-up of a diesel generator for dependable power, 24 hours a day, these solar powered generators will instantly cut your fuel bills on site. But that’s just the start…

Hire from Think Hire and you not only get cutting edge solar powered generator technology, but industry leading power management too. We provide real time reporting on all your energy use, so you can see where you can save even more. We’ll help you identify energy consumption patterns and suggest energy reduction strategies that can make a significant difference to your running costs throughout the project.

Optimising power use

For example, our Hybrid Energy Management System (HEMS) provides a smart distribution board that will help, you to optimise power consumption across your site. It gives you all the tools you need to monitor and manage your energy use through load shedding, improved energy storage and renewable energy management. Think Hire’s solar powered generators also deliver constant information and updates to support effective energy management.

The best part is that you can manage all of these features either on site, or remotely, giving you complete control, locally, regionally or nationally. This ‘big picture’ view helps you to identify best practice and implement it across your entire operation with ease, cutting the energy bills of all your Think Hire projects at once.

No time to lose

Energy costs have never been so high for the construction industry, and they are likely to get much worse before they get better. So now is the time to look at alternatives, such as solar powered generators from Think Hire. By combining the latest environmentally friendly technology, with smart energy management, you can ride out this perfect storm and create a stronger, more sustainable business that is not so exposed to the volatile energy markets.
