g2 Energy exhibited at, and sponsored, the UK Construction Week Energy 2016 show, which took place at the Birmingham NEC between Tuesday 18th Oct to Thursday 20th Oct.

g2 Energy took one of their 33kV client side switchgear containers. This is housed in a modified 20′ steel ISO shipping container and is therefore easily shipped around the world. The units are fully fitted out and pre-commissioned prior to leaving their warehouse, all ready for immediate connection to the grid.
These bespoke Container Substations can be designed to the project and client specific requirements and with innovative screw piled foundations, which reduces site activity to an absolute minimum.
g2 Energy also have access to a number of 33kV & 11kV DNO metering circuit breakers, available for installation prior to the March 2017 ROC & FiT deadlines, however time is running out rapidly, so developers will need to move swiftly to secure this switch-gear to meet the fast approaching deadline.
If you would like to discuss any specific project requirements, then please contact g2 Energy using the following details: Â [email protected] Â | 01234 482482Â |Â www.g2energy.co.uk
