Continuous power on a remote island off the UK coast
A UK remote-site power provider deployed a Bladon MTG12 to deliver firm continuous power on a remote island off the UK coast, where every service visit carries a high logistics cost.
The challenge
The site sits on a remote island off the UK coast with no grid connection. Every service visit requires a boat crossing and specialist access - adding cost, weather risk, and delay every time the incumbent diesel needed attention.
The operator needed a unit that could be installed once and left to run with minimal field intervention.
The solution
The operator specified the Bladon MTG12 for the site. With 1 moving part, one service visit per year, and built-in remote monitoring, the unit collapses the field maintenance burden to a single planned visit per year - and flags remotely if anything between visits needs attention.
The outcome
The site has been operating with the planned annual service cadence. Onsite service costs fell by 95% and fuel costs by 30% - the latter from switching diesel to cheaper kerosene. Logistics cost per kWh delivered has fallen substantially compared to the previous diesel arrangement, and the operator can now confidently quote similar remote sites with predictable unit economics.
"Every avoided trip to site saves us a day and a specialist crew. The MTG just keeps running - we visit once a year, and the rest of the time we trust the telemetry."
