Reliable Power Solutions for Government & Ministry of Defence

From local council offices and government agencies to MoD bases, power continuity is critical for security, compliance, and operational stability. Shenton Group has a long and proven history serving government-owned organisations and public sector services, delivering solutions that meet the highest standards of reliability and confidentiality.

Why Power Continuity Matters for Government & MoD

  • Ensure Operational Stability – Avoid downtime that disrupts essential services and critical infrastructure.
  • Meet Compliance and Security Standards – Adhere to stringent government and MoD regulations.
  • Support Sustainability Goals – Reduce carbon emissions and energy costs in line with environmental policies.

What Happens When the Power Stops?

Without reliable power, government and defence organisations face serious consequences:

  • Operational Downtime – Disrupted services, missed deadlines, and compromised security.
  • Equipment Damage – Sudden shutdowns can harm sensitive systems and critical infrastructure.
  • Security Risks – Loss of power can impact surveillance, communications, and emergency response.
  • Loss of Reputation – Failure to maintain continuity can erode public trust.
  • Energy Inefficiency – Rising costs without CHP optimisation.
  • Reduced Resilience – Inability to meet compliance and maintain operational readiness.

Our Expertise in Secure and Challenging Environments

Shenton Group has extensive experience working in high-security and complex locations, always in strict accordance with government and MoD health, safety, and security regulations. Our solutions are designed to deliver resilience and peace of mind for decision-makers responsible for critical operations.

Standby Generators, UPS Systems & Battery Storage

Our solutions include:

  • Standby Generators – Ensure power continuity during outages
  • Generator Hire – Provides temporary power for planned works or emergencies.
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – Ensures that there is no break in power, providing seamless protection for critical systems.
  • Battery Storage Solutions – Store energy for instant backup and support sustainability goals.
  • Power Call Emergency Generator Hire – Rapid response for urgent requirements.

Battery storage adds an extra layer of resilience, enabling facilities to store renewable energy, reduce reliance on the grid, and maintain uptime during transitions or outages.

CHP Maintenance and Efficiency

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems generate heat and electricity simultaneously, making them ideal for large government facilities with significant hot water demand. CHP can reduce carbon emissions by up to 30%, cut energy costs, and help meet sustainability targets.

At Shenton Group, we maintain and optimise CHP systems to ensure they deliver maximum efficiency and ROI—helping public sector organisations achieve greener energy and lower bills without compromising reliability.

    Alex Robinson – AD Plant Manager

    I have found Shenton Group to be a thoroughly professional organisation. Running an AD plant is a 24/7 operation, with constant oversight required. However, even though the CHPs are one of the most critical parts of the AD plant, I have no concerns about their operation, due to the efficiency of the support service provided.
