Twelve months without a site visit on the Isle of Wight
Generator Power installed a Bladon MTG with a 1,000-litre fuel tank to power an EE/BT telecom site on the Isle of Wight around the clock, replacing diesel gensets that needed regular maintenance visits to a remote location.
The challenge
Generator Power provides off-grid power to EE/BT's telecom site on the Isle of Wight. Diesel gensets normally supplied the power, but they required regular maintenance visits to a remote location, which resulted in high service and refuelling costs.
The site sits near rural residential and farm areas, so noise and emissions mattered as much as cost.
The solution
Generator Power installed a Bladon MTG with a 1,000-litre fuel tank to power the site 24/7. With 1 moving part, one service visit per year and built-in remote monitoring, the unit ran for a full year with no maintenance visit. Its quiet operation and ultra-low emissions let the site run alongside its neighbours without complaint.
The outcome
Installing the Bladon MTG cut onsite service costs by 95%, cut fuel costs by 30 percent by running cheaper kerosene, and recorded twelve months of service-free non-stop operation, more than 8,000 hours. The site generated no complaints from neighbours.
"We have some customers in very remote locations including offshore islands that are more expensive to maintain than on the mainland. With this customer site we used the Bladon MTG to eliminate completely the need to travel to the island to perform service visits that we would normally have had to do with regular diesel gensets. Instead, we had local fuel suppliers and had no need for site visits for 12 months!"
