Whether we like it or not, winter is now firmly upon us in the UK. After a mild autumn, we have suddenly been hit with storms Ashley, Bert, Conall, and Darragh, one after the other, which have resulted in many fallen trees, damage to buildings, and power cuts as well. The West of the country, in particular, has been severely hit.
Not only that, but the government is on course to ensure that we are all using wind and solar energy by 2030. This is a great target, but unfortunately there are days, and even weeks, when the wind doesn’t blow, and the sun doesn’t shine. All of which are very good reasons for ensuring that you have sufficient backup to produce the electricity you need for your home or business regardless of what the weather does. If not, you will be sitting there in the dark and freezing.
The very obvious answer is to install a standby generator that will automatically switch on when the power goes down, so that you will hardly notice it. At Blades Power Generation we have whatever you need, including new generators for sale in the UK. We also provide generator changeover switchgear that takes care of everything for you so that you don’t have to head out into a Force 8 (or worse) storm when the lights go out in order to switch your generator over manually.
1.5 Million New Homes
Not only are we heading to net zero, but the government has also promised to build 1.5 million new homes by 2030. There are presently some 29.9 million homes in the UK, so this target represents an increase of just over 5% - in five years! All those homes will be full of people who also use electricity, which means that we need to generate 5% more than we already do. If the housing target is achieved, you can pretty much guarantee that there will be more power outages than ever.
This is why the time to talk to us about new generators for sale in the UK is right now. Don’t leave it a moment longer.
We have generators of different sizes that can produce different amounts of power, so we can supply and install whatever is correct for your home or business. Fitted with automatic generator changeover switchgear, it means that when (note, we didn’t say “if”) the worst happens, you will still be warm and cozy with the lights on, while others may not.
