Reliable Power Solutions for Data Centres & Telecoms

In today’s communications age, consumers and organisations expect 24/7 access to data and connectivity. This places enormous pressure on telecoms providers and data centre operators to maintain strict uptime standards. For Facilities Managers, Procurement Teams, and senior decision-makers, power continuity isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical. We’ve delivered uninterrupted power across 150 fibre network sites, demonstrating the scale and reliability this sector demands. 

Why Power Continuity Matters for Data Centres & Telecoms

  • Protect Network Uptime – Avoid costly outages that impact customers and SLAs.
  • Safeguard Critical Infrastructure – Keep servers, cooling systems, and telecom equipment running without interruption.
  • Reduce Operational Risk – Ensure compliance and maintain brand reputation with guaranteed resilience.

Our Expertise in Power for Data Centres

For decades, Shenton Group has supported telecoms companies and data centres with dependable, scalable power solutions. We understand the unique challenges of high-demand environments and the importance of uninterrupted service for both operational and financial performance, including delivering uninterrupted power solutions across a national rollout of 150 fibre network sites, and providing ongoing national maintenance support to a major gas network provider’s critical remote infrastructure, a similarly distributed, always-on operating model to telecoms. 


Standby Generators and UPS Systems

Our solutions include:

  • Standby Generators – Gas or diesel options to bridge power gaps during outages or upgrade works.
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – Seamless power continuity for critical systems.
  • Emergency Generator Hire (Power Call) – 24/7 rapid response for sites with restricted capital expenditure.

These combined solutions ensure your operations remain resilient, even during unexpected failures or planned maintenance.

Power for Fibre, Mobile & Distributed Network Sites

Telecoms and data centre estates are rarely a single site — they’re a distributed network of locations, often including remote or unmanned cabinets and exchanges. This changes what “power continuity” needs to mean in practice:

  • Multi-site rollout at scale — as demonstrated across our 150-site fibre network deployment, consistent specification and delivery across many locations matters as much as the technical spec at any single site. 
  • Remote monitoring as standard — with sites spread nationally, 24/7 remote monitoring lets issues be caught and often resolved before they cause a customer-facing outage. 
  • Restricted capex flexibility — Power Call’s rental model suits network operators who need resilience at a large number of sites without capital expenditure at every one.
