A new business deal will introduce a low-carbon mobile battery option for construction, utility and events sites to the Irish market.

Renewable energy company, Local Power, has partnered with Nottinghamshire-headquartered, Power Saving Solutions, to introduce its Hussh Pods mobile battery products to Ireland.

According to the UK company its mobile battery option can reduce generator diesel fuel consumption by over 50%, while also reducing noise pollution on site and facilitating large reductions in carbon emissions.

Power Saving Solutions, which has been in business since 2013, has built and deployed over 1,000 Hussh Pods across the UK.

Its customers include large-scale construction companies, utility providers, events, film and edge-of-grid power users.

Hussh Pods are available from single-phase units, right up to 200kVA units, which can be connected in parallel for larger sites.

Mobile battery products can power multi-cabin sites, tower cranes, lighting, as well as acting as a buffer when grid-tied.

Headquartered in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Local Power, has installed over 80MW of rooftop Solar PV since its was set up over 10 years ago by managing director, Pat Smith.

It has dedicated battery storage and EV charging solutions in almost every county of Ireland.

James Walton, executive director at Local Power, believes Hussh Pods are a good option for a business or organisation that uses diesel or HVO generators in their operations and that wants to reduce their carbon emissions.

"Local Power Ltd is now increasing their footprint and expertise on the ground in Ireland, with a dedicated team of trained BESS engineers to ensure systems can be commissioned and maintained with ease.

"We are delighted to partner with Power Saving Solutions and look forward to working with them in the Irish market.”
