THE BRIEF
Problem We Helped Solve
Grid operator delays to connect permanent power prevented developers from energising new homes across several SEQ estates—creating project delays, increased holding costs and risk to tenancy timelines. Diesel generators were not suitable due to residential noise restrictions, high fuel costs, maintenance requirements and unreliability.
Alternatives Assessed
The only alternative was to wait up to six months for permanent grid power and delay settlements, as generators are not an appropriate or reliable option for these customers.
THE POWERSHIFT SOLUTION
POWRBANK MAX units are a large-scale mobile battery system designed for high-powered and long-duration commercial, industrial and grid applications
THE HIGHLIGHTS
Across all sites, the POWRBANK MAX delivered consistent, dependable performance throughout both final construction and occupancy of new homes. Each deployment ensured developers, contractors and incoming residents had access to stable, quiet temporary power that was hassle free, keeping tenancy timelines on track.
As electrical contractors working across commercial construction, from residential
developments through to high-rise and industrial projects, temporary power is part of almost every job. When our clients need site power before adequate permanent supply is available, it has to be reliable, easy to manage, and something we can hand over with confidence.
Powershift has been exactly that. Their mobile BESS units have powered everything from residential housing estates through to tower cranes and hoists, all from compact, plug-and-play units that are straightforward to integrate into our electrical scope.
The support behind the product is what stands out. Powershift helps us size the right unit, monitors performance 24/7, and is responsive whenever site conditions change. That takes the pressure off us and gives our clients confidence the power solution is in good hands, without adding to our workload.
We’ll continue to look to Powershift on any project that requires temporary power.
