Powering a Resilient and Renewable Future

APR solutions are helping countries respond to fluctuations in energy supplies as well as enabling the shift to renewable energy by providing grid stability, back-up baseload power, and pursuing hybrid energy solutions.

Grid Stabilization

The economic and environmental benefits of diversifying power mixes with thousands of megawatts of renewable and remote energy continue to influence the energy sector to explore strategies for operating a more dynamic and flexible grid. 

When these new approaches to energy efficiency are met with resistance from factors that affect costs, reliability, and resilience, APR Energy delivers solutions that address the inherent challenges of connecting solar panels and wind turbines to the electric grid.

Backed by gas turbines, APR Energy delivers a fast and dependable alternative to power systems that are vulnerable to changing concentrations of renewables during periods of peak demand and changing weather.

Operations and
Maintenance (O&M)

Unpredictable public policy, environmental pressures and escalating costs have not made it any less challenging to keep today’s complex power systems up and running efficiently. But, power providers around the world have relied on APR Energy Operations and Maintenance to make it possible. By delivering a proven mix of leadership, technical expertise, and business insight, APR Energy delivers customized approaches to O&M that optimize assets and maximize plant performance.

APR Energy reinforces infrastructure reliability to achieve financial goals and ensure continued regulatory compliance. Its sophisticated network of field engineers and technicians manage power plants operating on gas turbines and reciprocating engines. Services range from installation and commissioning to balance of plant management and training to develop and empower local teams to ensure long-term goals.

Efficiency Enhancement

As power infrastructure ages, plants are rapidly becoming inefficient and non-compliant with emission regulations. Relying on outdated and unreliable assets is no longer an alternative for many utility providers and grid operators.

APR Energy enables customers to upgrade their aging power generation infrastructure with newer, more efficient technology in a quick, smart and effective way. 

Our approach utilizes the latest gas turbine technology to help utilities and private companies optimize operations, improve reliability, secure significant fuel cost savings and minimize emission levels.

Bridging Power

There’s no need to be without critical power for months or even years while new facilities are being constructed, are being replaced or upgraded with newer technologies, or are undergoing maintenance.

With APR Energy’s bridging power solutions, customers can access reliable and affordable power fast, minimizing interruption or delay of electricity supply while permanent facilities come online.

As part of our turnkey approach, we can even provide customers with the full long-term generation solution, using a combination of temporary and permanent technologies to deliver efficient power quickly, while keeping costs low through a levelized pricing approach.

Distributed Generation

In scenarios where the delivery of electricity to a city or region is restricted by inadequate or inefficient transmission lines, a utility company may allocate generation closer the communities served to avoid shortages and blackouts.

The flexible, scalable and turnkey nature of APR Energy’s solutions make them a great fit for distributed power needs, for both large communities and small.

Our electricity can be injected either directly into the local medium voltage distribution network or the main high voltage grid, and can help improve the overall efficiency of the customer’s electrical system by supplying reactive power (MVARs).

Emergency Power

Whether it is urgent power needed in Japan following a tsunami, a faulty undersea transmission cable in Australia, or critical power needed in Cyprus following a power plant fire, APR Energy has delivered power fast to our customers, on-time, when they need it most. Emergencies can be driven by natural disaster, power plant failure, transmission interruption, weather phenomenon, or some other unforeseen catastrophe.

Using modular design, mobile technology, proprietary building systems and on-hand inventory, APR Energy’s fast-track solutions have been the go-to solution customers depend on when they need large-scale power fast.

Powering a Resilient and Renewable Future

APR solutions are helping countries respond to fluctuations in energy supplies as well as enabling the shift to renewable energy by providing grid stability, back-up baseload power, and pursuing hybrid energy solutions.

Peaking Power

APR Energy has successfully designed, installed and operated more than 25 peaking power plants around the globe, helping customers with a cost-effective solution to mitigate peak shaving requirements, improve load management and avoid costly power outages.

Designed to run on a variety of fuels, our peaker plants help ensure uninterrupted power during high demand periods, operating at certain times of day or on a seasonal basis.

Standby Power

As reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hydro power grows so too does the realization that the wind doesn’t always blow, the sun doesn’t always shine, and droughts can severely reduce hydropower reserves.

APR Energy’s mobile gas turbines and high-speed reciprocating engines offer a rapid-start capability – with full power in less than 10 minutes – that makes them an ideal complement to intermittent renewable energy sources.
