Construction & Temporary Power Finance
Site power that costs less to run, without the capital hit.
Hybrid battery-generator systems cut diesel burn dramatically. The economics are obvious. The capital timing is the problem.
Typical project size , £30,000 – £1,500,000
What usually gets in the way
- Fuel and hire costs are operational; the equipment that fixes them is capital.
- Site power kit moves between projects, so funding needs to follow utilisation, not one contract.
- Emissions requirements on tenders are tightening faster than fleets can be replaced.
Why businesses finance it
- Replace an ongoing hire and fuel line with an owned, cheaper asset.
- Win tenders with low-emission site power without a capital raise.
- Match repayments to project-run revenue.
How GRID helps
Structured by people who read the load profile first.
We fund hybrid units, distribution and welfare power as a package.
We understand utilisation-based returns across multiple sites.
We work with contractors and hire fleets alike.

Temporary power finance: a project we funded
Three battery power units that took the generators off tick-over
Hybrid battery and generator sites are the clearest example of this. See how three battery power units replaced hours of low load diesel burn.
FAQs
Construction & Temporary Power Finance: common questions
Practical answers on structure, cost and what funders look at. Call 01604 969123 if your question is not covered.
Can battery hybrid site power units be financed?
Yes. Hybrid battery and generator systems are well understood assets and are commonly funded on hire purchase over three to five years. Because they move between sites, funders look at utilisation across the fleet rather than a single contract.
Does funding hybrid power actually save money against hire?
It depends on how much you hire and how the sets are being run. Where generators are running long hours on low load, the fuel and servicing saving is usually the largest part of the case, and that is the number we build the funding around.
Can several units be funded on one agreement?
Yes. Funding multiple units together is usually cleaner than repeating the process each season, and it means the saving lands across the whole operation at once rather than in stages.
