Sunbelt Rentals UK adds 1250kVA gensets

03 September 2026

Sunbelt Rentals UK & Ireland has expanded its large-power offering with an investment in Cummins-powered 1250kVA generators from BGG.

The investment adds capacity to its existing power fleet and strengthens its ability to provide complex, multi-megawatt temporary power in the UK, Ireland and Europe. In particular, it will support temporary power systems for transmissions, major infrastructure, data centres and critical projects.

The fleet comprises trailer-mounted and standalone units, and BGG’s Ultra Silent FQ models and standard specification units.

Chris Dempsey, executive managing director at Sunbelt Rentals, said; “We’re seeing the power requirements of the projects our customers are delivering continue to evolve, particularly where grid availability, resilience and the scale of energy required create additional complexity.

“Adding the Cummins 1250kVA generators strengthens the options available to our customers when a multi-megawatt or HV solution is required.

“Combined with our engineering expertise and national support network, it strengthens our ability to deliver power for every challenge, from initial design through to operation.”
