Power Continuity for
Infrastructure & Utilities

In infrastructure and utilities, power failure isn’t just disruptive—it can halt essential services, breach regulatory compliance, and impact thousands of customers. Shenton Group delivers robust backup power and CHP solutions that ensure maximum uptime, reduce energy costs, and support sustainability across complex, high-demand environments. Whether you’re managing pumping stations, treatment plants, or remote utility sites, our systems keep operations running smoothly and communities connected.

What’s at Risk Without Reliable Power?

Utility and infrastructure providers face unique challenges when power fails:

  • Regulatory Breaches – Missed compliance targets and costly penalties.
  • Remote Site Vulnerability – Unplanned outages in hard-to-reach areas disrupt essential services.
  • Service Interruption – Pumping stations, treatment plants, and critical networks go offline.
  • Customer Impact – Loss of water, energy, or connectivity leads to complaints and reputational damage.
  • Environmental Pressure – Missed sustainability and emissions targets without CHP optimisation.
  • Operational Downtime – Delays to maintenance, upgrades, and emergency response.


Tailored Power Solutions for Utilities & Infrastructure

We engineer and maintain power systems that meet the demands of this sector:

  • Single & Three Phase Generators from 300kVA to 3200kVA.
  • Generator Hire: Ideal for temporary works, upgrades, and emergency response.
  • CHP Systems: Comprehensive maintenance that ensures ultimate uptime, greener energy with reduced heat and electricity costs.
  • Powercall: 24/7 emergency generator rental
  • Prime Power Installations: Long-term solutions for remote or off-grid sites.
  • Full Compliance Support: Designed to meet emissions reduction schemes and regulatory standards.

    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.
